The third-generation NSX was a decade in the making. But, ever keen to tweak, Honda has now decided to give the all-wheel-drive V6 hybrid supercar a nip n" tuck to make it cleaner, greener and easier to live with. They"ve even given it a fake tan ready for winter. Main areas of tweakery are to the set-up, tyres and engine. The 2019 car now gets larger front and rear stabiliser bars, increasing stiffness by 26 per cent at the front and 19 per cent at the rear. Stiffness has also increased at the rear hubs and control-arm toe link bushings. We"re told these deeply nerdy developments should increase the NSX"s agility. Honda"s engineers then plugged in their laptops and got fiddly with the supercar"s electronic brain. Software updates have been applied to the hybrid system, electric power steering and stability control. Finally, the dampers have been modified to increase the ride"s bandwidth; making it softer to live with everyday, but without compromising track performance.
