It said it has collaborated with a \u201ctop-tier industry partner\u201d for giving the old NSX&#8217;s interior a major glow-up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"HtmlContent\" class=\"MarkUpWrapper-sc-t20i90-0 hQwWlJ\">\n<p>It won\u2019t say who this top-tier partner is, but has at least stayed \u201cfaithful to the original Honda NSX concept\u201d, and crucially, avoided \u201cunnecessary modern gimmicks\u201d. As such, you will find: a steering wheel with buttons! A manual gearbox! A start-stop button! A simple radio with dials!<\/p>\n<p>Saying that, we can\u2019t ever remember the original Honda NSX having a giant touchscreen in the raised centre console, but considering how unutterably\u2026 drab and dour the original Honda NSX was inside, this is no bad thing. Indeed, the radio at least mirrors the style of the oldtimer&#8217;s, but just makes it actually appealing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"HtmlContent\" class=\"MarkUpWrapper-sc-t20i90-0 hQwWlJ\">\n<p>It\u2019s all trimmed in a far nicer material than before, with lovely switchgear, lovely seat fabric, and a much cleaner, less Nineties-Japanese-car vibe. Naturally there\u2019s a digital display in front of the driver.<\/p>\n<p>Pininfarina says this interior offers \u201chundreds of customisable combinations\u201d, which is something you\u2019d expect of a car costing upwards of \u00a3770,000. And that\u2019s not including the donor car. Or VAT.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"HtmlContent\" class=\"MarkUpWrapper-sc-t20i90-0 hQwWlJ\">\n<p>But then there\u2019s a huge market for this kind of thing. JAS has a huge history with Honda, Pininfarina has a huge history full stop, and from what we\u2019ve seen so far, it\u2019s quite delectable. We\u2019ll see the full, finished car in one final go at the Paris motor show later this year.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.topgear.com\/car-news\/big-reads\/welcome-back-nsx-can-japans-greatest-supercar-carry-restomod-treatment\">Welcome back, NSX: can Japan&#8217;s greatest supercar carry off the restomod treatment?<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, you\u2019d like to just see the full, finished car in one go, but this is the game so we must play.
