Senna-developed chassis. Supercar reliability of a Civic. Embarrassed Ferrari.
Ayrton Senna helped develop the chassis. Honda built a mid-engine supercar with the reliability of a Civic and the daily-drivability of an Accord. The first-gen NSX proved you didn't need Italian temperament to build a world-class exotic — it started every morning, didn't leak oil, and could do 170 mph after a trip to the grocery store. It embarrassed Ferrari so badly that Enzo reportedly called for the F355 as a direct response. Production ran from 1990 to 2005, and it still looks stunning.
