The 2016 production NSX made its much-awaited global debut at NAIAS in January. More technical details of Acura's mid-engine AWD hybrid supercar will be shared by Honda R&D experts at the SAE 2015 World Congress.

Three years removed from its concept-design debut, the Acura NSX supercar took to the 2015 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) stage once more, this time in its production form. While recognizable as that concept's progeny, the next-generation 2016 NSX revealed this January in Detroit has evolved over its 36-month development program.

The Ohio-based, American-led R&D team for the new NSX, with Ted Klaus, Chief Engineer and Global Development Leader, at the helm, has made design and engineering decisions both big and small-but none insignificant-every step of the way.
