2005 Acura NSX | 2005 Honda NSX | 2005 NSX
The Acura NSX supercar exemplifies the precision crafted performance that lies at the heart of
every Acura vehicle. Developed out of years of racing experience, the NSX sets the benchmark for
Acura technology, combining world-class performance and styling with exceptional drivability and
refinement.
The Acura NSX offers two distinct, mid-ship mounted powertrains. The first is a lightweight,
all-aluminum 3.2 liter, DOHC, 24-valve, 90-degree V-6 engine coupled with a 6-speed, close-ratio
manual transmission producing 290 horsepower and 224 lb-ft of torque. The second is a 3.0 liter
DOHC, 24-valve V-6 engine with a 4-speed Sequential SportShift automatic transmission that generates
252 horsepower and 210 lb.-ft. of torque.
Both Acura NSX engines are equipped with Acura's patented VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift
Electronic Control), a Variable Volume Induction System, direct ignition and a computerized
Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system pioneered in Formula One racing. The NSX engine also
features titanium connecting rods, which are stronger and lighter than comparable steel
connecting
rods.
To complement these innovative powertrains, the Acura NSX chassis features an all-aluminum unit
body construction that is 40 percent lighter, yet has the rigidity of a steel structure. The 4-wheel
independent double-wishbone suspension features aluminum-alloy control arms and hub carriers that
minimize unsprung weight and provide optimum handling. The suspension also features aluminum
subframes for the front and rear suspension to further reduce weight. Forged-aluminum alloy wheels
reduce unsprung weight while super high performance tires - 215/40 R17 in front and 255/40 R17 in
the rear - provide maximum traction and handling.
The NSX's braking system features large-diameter, ventilated four-wheel discs and an advanced
4-channel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) for confident braking. A sophisticated Traction Control
System (TCS) helps limit wheel-spin and enhances control.
The 2005 Acura NSX features a removable roof panel for open-air driving. A sculpted, wedge-shaped
body and forward canopy design clearly communicate the car's high performance personality. Additional
features include a body integrated rear spoiler and airfoil, power operated sideview mirrors and
Xenon High-Intensity Discharge projector-beam headlights. The NSX comes in seven exterior colors,
which can be ordered with a matching or complementary interior color.
Inside, the hand-stitched, leather-trimmed interior of the NSX is designed to evoke the image of a
jet fighter cockpit, providing excellent visibility, easy-to-read instrumentation and supportive,
power operated seats. For 2005, the NSX receives a redesigned meter panel surround, a new shifter
knob and a keyless entry system. As with all Acura models, the NSX comes with a long list of standard
equipment and comfort and convenience features including an Automatic Climate Control System, power
windows and door locks, cruise control and a theft deterrent system with electronic immobilizer.
For 2005, the premium Acura/Bose Music System has been enhanced with a trunk-mounted 6-Disc CD
changer.
