2017 Acura NSX is finally here! The first serial production 2017 Acura NSX rolled-off the line of the new Performance Manufacturing Center (PMC) in Marysville, Ohio. In fact, this is a big moment for the Japanese brand, because it is a culmination of more than 30 years of manufacturing experience. Based on the work of many expert technicians and with the involvement of their passion, this car has achieved major innovations in its design and manufacturing, thus delivering incredible precision crafted performance.

The happiest person on Earth now is the first customer, Rick Hendrick, who had taken the delivery of the VIN 001. For the modest amount of $1.2 million USD he won the bid at the Barrett-Jackson auction in January. The proceeds are going to two children’s charities: Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation and Camp Southern Ground.

Hendrick’s Acura NSX is painted in Valencia Red Pearl and features VIN 001 interwoven wheels, carbon ceramic brake rotors, leather and Alcantara interior trim and carbon fiber upgrades including the engine cover, roof, and rear decklid spoiler.

2017 NSX is actually the only supercar designed, developed and manufactured in the U.S., and specifically in Ohio. It is produced exclusively at the Performance Manufacturing Center (PMC) there. This center was designed to blend human craftsmanship and advanced technologies in order to achieve and deliver superior quality and precision crafted performance.

In addition, at the PMC have been developed 12 patent-pending technologies and other advanced methods of producing a made-to-order supercar. At the plant there have been also made innovations to the NSX construction, painting, assembly and quality.

In another location (Anna, Ohio) is positioned Acura’s largest engine plant. There master builders hand-assemble the NSX’s 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 engine. The unit is connected to an advanced 9-speed dual clutch transmission and rear direct drive electric motor. At last, the powerplant is installed at the PMC, as it is the front-mounted Twin Motor Unit, which enables electrically powered torque vectoring.

Acura has finally released the NSX in America and has done this exclusively with a hot rocking Super Bowl spot! The soundtrack of an iconic Van Halen rock song infuses high-voltage energy into the NSX rollout. By the way, this is the first time the rock band is releasing “Runnin’ with the Devil” (the song you hear in the spot) for use in advertising. The spot debuted during the Super Bowl 50, and the moment we saw it, we loved it. It was then inevitable of not showing it to you!

“Runnin’ with the Devil” by Van Halen is probably the best song choice for this ad. Its high-energy vocal effects provide the powerful beat for the Acura NSX and describe it character very well. In addition, via the advertisement, the company also showcases the Precision Crafted Performance direction, which is now that is core to Acura and is vividly imbued in the NSX supercar.

The commercial is tagged with the words “What He Said,” and this is not devoid of sense, because “NSX is better described through raw emotion than words alone”. Besides the loud vocals, the spot evokes the emotions via its elegant design and powerful inner-workings. In the end, the NSX erupts in a powerful crescendo through rapid-fire vocals. You ca see how every hollers and screams respond to the camera movement across the details of the car.

2017 Acura NSX is one of the most exciting and exclusive cars in the world. It has been created to bring about unforgettable experience infused with emotion and exclusivity. Basically, the next-gen NSX Acura is challenging the conventional beliefs about supercars. The reason for this is the cutting-edge and world-first technologies it includes.

The car is equipped with the unique Sport Hybrid Super Handling All-Wheel Drive power unit, has a multi-material body structure, rides with advanced aerodynamics and features a cabin inspired by motorsport performance but that does not sacrifices comfort. Who wants more than this?!

At last, we should mention that the Acura NSX online vehicle configurator is going to be launched on February 25 and it will enable potential customers to design and build their dream NSX. On the same date, those interested in purchasing the car can contact an authorized Acura retailer to place their order. The production of the 2017 Acura NSX is going to start this spring at the new Performance Manufacturing Center in Marysville, Ohio.
