Honda's Engineers Thought The NSX Was Perfect, Until Senna Told Them It Wasn't

Honda's Engineers Thought The NSX Was Perfect, Until Senna Told Them It Wasn't Honda's engineers thought the NSX was finished. Then Ayrton Senna drove it — and told them the chassis felt "a little fragile." In this video, we look at how a three-time Formula 1 World Champion's blunt feedback at Suzuka forced Honda to tear up months of work and rebuild the NSX's chassis from the ground up, increasing rigidity by roughly 50% before the car ever reached production. It's the story of how Honda chose to swallow its pride and let a driver's instinct override its own engineers — and how that decision turned the NSX into the supercar that made Ferrari pay attention.
