At its release in 1991, the NSX took many in the car industry and elsewhere by surprise. It was the first time that a Japanese automaker had made a car to compete against the products of the traditional European exotic car manufacturers such as Ferrari and Porsche.

They deserve a credit for that! :)

yeah, so surprised that the ferrari president said it was way and miles better than the 348's in early 90s. He since ordered ferrari to buck up and never looked back. (so documented in the rise and rise of ferrari)

Sadly it was very much of brand snub that NSX didn't really pick up. In all foreign magazines, there wasn't really much bad write ups about NSX except that the interior looked too "Civic".

and to think the great Arton senna had great imputs on the car.
