Always Exciting

The first-generation NSX was one of the most iconic cars of its era, and it still holds up as a true driver's car to this day. With that said, the C-series V6 just doesn't quite have enough power to maximize the amazing potential of the NSX package, especially by modern standards. But that also makes the mid-engine Honda the subject of a lot of modifications and specialized builds, like this one.

But we have to be honest, even though we see NSX builds of all variations and styles on a daily basis, it never gets old to lay eyes on creative projects like this 1992 Acura. There will be those who will be turned off by the extensive customizations. But the extremely aggressive design of this NSX build is simply captivating.

Aggressive Sorcery V1 Body Kit

Let's start by addressing the obvious. The full Sorcery V1 wide body kit already sets it apart from the rest. The kit includes custom pieces all around the vehicle, including front bumper, front fenders, side skirts, rear fenders, and rear bumper. And it immediately gives the car a powerful stance. The body of the NSX has been wrapped in black chrome, further adding to the menacing aesthetic.

Carbon-Filled Interior

On the interior, the car has been treated to a number of upgrades courtesy of SDuff carbon fiber parts. SDuff carbon/kevlar bucket seats keep the driver firmly in place through the corners while helping with the weight-saving effort. And the carbon theme continues throughout. There's even a custom Navi screen pod made of carbon fiber.

Turbocharged Motor

Now, we know this NSX looks like a fighter jet. But does it have the proper hardware to match the angry, tactical look of it exterior? The answer is a resounding yes! The V6 motor is boosted by a LoveFab LF600 turbo kit featuring a Precision 67/66 turbocharger. In addition to the capable turbo, other elements of the power plant have also been upgraded to maximize output.

617 Horses at the Wheels

A Walbro 450 fuel pump, ID 1,000cc injectors, Foundry 3 custom titanium charge pipe, and a load of other performance goodies are at play. And the operation of the engine is controlled by AEM electronics, including V2 EMS standalone ECU. The trusty setup is capable of producing  617 horsepower and 425 lb-ft of torque at the wheels, with 17 PSI of boost on 93 octane gas. This powerful beast is just as much for go as it is for show!
