Description: Few supercars epitomize the best Japan has to offer quite like the Acura NSX and the Lexus LFA. So for the latest episode of Head 2 Head, Motor Trend scribe Jonny Lieberman pitted the modern Toyota ag...Add Comments22
Zaire WilkinsAug 18, 2012 thank you levent lol NSX is labled a sports car ppl on auto blog tried to tell me it wasnt but they failed
Levent TaskanJul 29, 2012 I think the control issues on the LFA are mostly caused by lack of ability of the driver doing the comparison. An (arguably) 270 odd bhp sports car is easier to drive than a 552 bhp super car. Shocking!
Laguna SecaJul 28, 2012 The NSX can only dream of putting out a glorious sound like that of the LF-A.
Zaire WilkinsJul 28, 2012 well honda is making an all gas NSX while the acura stays a hybrid i think both will be like good vs evil
Daniel EadsJul 27, 2012 I really don't think we can go back today and say what is and what isn't a super car from 20 years ago.
Kyle SmithJul 27, 2012 It's all good, and yes I was solely referring to V6s. The E46 M3, though, that's a beast of car as well.
Rubo HarutunyanJul 27, 2012 I'm sorry if I misunderstood ur comment but u said no NA V6 can do 0-60 in sub 5 sec but the e46 m3 is a NA I6 it does 0-60 in 4.7sec and again srry if I misunderstood
Zaire WilkinsJul 27, 2012 sounds like he was saying 278 but its really 210 even in forza 4 but i dont think this is a super car
Kyle SmithJul 27, 2012 Yeah, and the NSX-R is capable of sub 5 second 0-60 sprints. No NA V6 can do that.
Scott GraceyJul 27, 2012 Still puts down decent times today, 0-60 in 5 seconds is still pretty quick IMO, especially for a car with an NA 6cylinder
Jack HowardJul 27, 2012 And back in early 90s, that was enough power.
Jack HowardJul 27, 2012 Oh i thought the guy said there was 278 lb ft
Matt PiccoloJul 27, 2012 @ Jason, yes, really!! Thing handles like an absoloute dream, and with how light the car is, u don't need more power
Jason DowlingJul 27, 2012 "270 Hp" Supercar! Really?
Paul LissonaJul 27, 2012 Ik I don't want electric cars but some people do oh well.
David Pires-IhsaanJul 27, 2012 First sentence-*cough *cough *gtr... *cough.
Zaire WilkinsJul 27, 2012 yea i never heard a of honda or acura with alot of torque
Kyle SmithJul 27, 2012 It's 210 torque. The specifications are as follows:
1st Generation - 270hp
210tq
2nd Generation - 290hp
224tq
Jack HowardJul 27, 2012 It has 278lb ft of torque not 210.
Little DaiJul 27, 2012 I will also miss engines built that way. I have always has a great love for the NSX and i still stick to that. I am looking forward to seeing a electric super car.
Description: Eschewing the Nissan GT-R he loves so much, Lieberman waxes poetically on the control and drivability of the NSX while chiding the LFA for being squirrelly and detached. He does give the Lexus due cre...Add Comments24
Jackson BondJul 31, 2012 I'd take the lfa, sell it and buy an nsx and fully legally import an r32 gtr and still have money left over for other things
Zaire WilkinsJul 31, 2012 they put a sports car against a super car
Josh SantoroJul 28, 2012 Why didnt they use a new nsx instead of an old 1 it makes no sense
Laguna SecaJul 28, 2012 Pretty easy to control a car with only 270hp...
Harry ChaggerJul 28, 2012 i would so have the LFA no mater how much it costs! The LFA is sooo sexy n that exhurst note is just amazing!
Zach SullivanJul 27, 2012 o my bad I misinterpreted what u said:)
Scott GraceyJul 27, 2012 Zach if you read what I said I agree that MOsT of the cars he listed can keep up with the LFA but the NSX can not
Miguel JimenezJul 27, 2012 I'd take the LFA, drive it for a good month, then sell it and buy a the new Viper.
Henz HerreroJul 27, 2012 By his reasonings.. Everyone shud get a mid 20k v6 mustang..
Zach SullivanJul 27, 2012 but I would pay the 375k for that sound alone that v10 screams!!!!
Zach SullivanJul 27, 2012 @Scott exactly colby's point all those cars he listed can hold there own against the lfa if not then beat it for 1/3 the price
Scott GraceyJul 27, 2012 Colby all the cars you listed have similiar specs to the LFA except for the NSX so how it's a better bang for your buck performance wise I don't know, like saying a 3 series is better bang for your buck than an M5
Kris C. LopezJul 27, 2012 Two of my all time favorite cars being tested like this my love for the LFA knows no bounds but my love for the NSX runs even deeper
Paul LissonaJul 27, 2012 The lfa is supposed to be a more exclusive car than the nsx. I like Honda more than Toyota a lot, but idk here.
Nick StiJul 27, 2012 If I didn't have to pay for them, I'd get the LFA... that sound
Shane ConnerJul 27, 2012 Good video, makes me want to go for a ride.
Colby ChurchJul 27, 2012 Yellow NSX-R with black wheels and fixed headlights. :) The LFA is so overpriced. It's ridiculous. It may look decent, but I would never buy one. I prefer bang for the buck. A GTR, ZR1, Viper ACR, or NSX would be a much better buy.
Eric AnthonyJul 27, 2012 Go wit tha lfa sell it & buy one really nice nsx & save tha profit.
Matt PiccoloJul 27, 2012 I would honestly have to think about it for a while, which one I would want! If it was one of the nsx's white fixed headlights... Oh god that would be a hard choice!
Arthur SalvadoJul 29, 2012 It's a Honda guys. Call it what you like in the USA........it's a Honda all over this planet. Nice car but not a Lexus. Possibly drives better ??
Abraham MendozaJul 28, 2012 I hear the clutch has to be replaced often and its expensive.
Johnny FrancisJul 27, 2012 For 30k miles that's a reasonable price
Tin NguyenJul 27, 2012 It's a Honda. How expensive can it be?
Aiden BassJul 27, 2012 There's one for sale near me, a '94 I think, black with stock wheels and a set of nice black wheels for $33,999 and it has only 30k miles. Are they expensive to maintain?
thank you levent lol NSX is labled a sports car ppl on auto blog tried to tell me it wasnt but they failed

Does Honda make a V8...?
The NSX can only dream of putting out a glorious sound like that of the LF-A.
well honda is making an all gas NSX while the acura stays a hybrid i think both will be like good vs evil

Definitely not a super car.
