🔥 The original Honda NSX is being reborn as the JAS Tensei, a carbon-bodied restomod designed by Pininfarina and limited to just 35 cars.
⠀
Tensei is built around a first-generation NSX chassis, but almost everything around it has been re-engineered with modern materials, motorsport-derived hardware and a completely new carbon-fiber body.
⠀
Under the rear deck sits a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 rebuilt by Judd Power, producing 420 horsepower and revving to 8,500 rpm.
⠀
Power goes through a six-speed manual transmission, keeping the car focused on the same lightweight, analog driving feel that made the original NSX so special.
⠀
Pininfarina also redesigned the cabin and exterior while intentionally avoiding the giant screens and tech overload found in many modern supercars.
⠀
With only 35 examples planned, this is less a replacement for the NSX and more a modern tribute to everything enthusiasts loved about the first one.
⠀
Would you take the Tensei over an original NA1 NSX?
