Miracle of the Japanese car industry - Honda NSX

In 1906, in the small Japanese village of Komio, Soichiro Honda was born. Returned from the Russo-Japanese war, the father was happy with the appearance of the heir, but he could not imagine that the whining lump in his hands is the future founder and head of the world famous automotive company Honda.

Gikhei Honda opened in his village a small workshop-forge and began to carry out small orders of his neighbors. But they were very few, the family lacked earnings only for a very modest existence. Gileo decides to put the locals on bicycles. He starts buying up completely broken bicycles in Tokyo at a bargain price , puts them in order and sells them to the local people.

From a young age, Soichiro was the father's right hand. Later he recalled that the details of the bicycle were his favorite toys. After the end of the eighth grade, a fifteen-year-old Soichiro goes to Tokyo to work and arranges an apprentice in a small auto repair shop with the loud name "Art Sokai". But the first six months the young man is not allowed to do what he likes, but is forced to babysit the master's child.

In 1923, a terrible earthquake destroyed Tokyo. Art Sokai also did not survive. Almost all employees resigned. There remained Honda and one more student. Noticing Soichiro's attraction to technology, the owner of "Art Sokai" allowed the young man to construct a racing car in off-hours . Soon the car, in which everything except the engine was executed by the hands of a young master, was ready. Soichiro became a pilot of the created "iron horse" and in the first competitions won a convincing victory. This was the beginning of the era of the Japanese automobile industry of the great Soichiro Honda.

For many years, Honda has produced the best motorcycles in the world, but now I would like to talk about a great car - the Honda NSX. It was first shown in 1989 in Chicago. Today it is a real symbol of the sporting nature of the company. This machine successfully combines the irrepressible power and magnificent grace. Low and streamlined silhouette, luxurious finish, all-metal body (the first in the world) computer, leather interior - everything is done at the highest level.

Salon Honda NSX is equally comfortable for both the driver and passengers, it is quite spacious. A superbly equipped driver's seat, reliable brakes, jeweler precision of the steering gear - all this is a guarantee of comfortable and safe movement.

In 2002, the company introduced the updated Honda NSX-R. The creators of the new model reduced the weight of the car and doubled the rigidity of suspension springs .

At the Auto Show in Detroit, the new Honda NSX-2012 was introduced. Its design can be called sports-aggressive, which once again underscores its belonging to the family of sports cars. The volume of the atmospheric engine V6 3.5 liters, 306 liters. from. Power. The car is being prepared for a serial production, which is planned in 2015.

Despite enough age for the units of this class, Honda NSX still remains one of the most high-tech and comfortable cars in the world. The company is actively working on its improvement, and if not for the economic crisis, a new version of the car would have appeared already in 2009.
