When Gordon Murray designed the all-conquering McLaren F1 supercar, he didn’t use a Porsche, Lamborghini or even a Ferrari for inspiration. It was the Honda NSX. Yes, Honda, makers of the humdrum, practical Civic. He liked it so much, he bought one with his own money used it as a daily driver. The NSX was a revolution in supercar design when it launched in 1990. There had been plenty of cool-looking exotic cars, but none had combined this with a truly practical car that could be used, as Gordon Murray found out, day in, day out. The NSX had set a pattern for supercars to come. The bar had been raised. So, just why did Honda make a left turn from practical family cars into making a supercar, and why did it take 26 years between the first generation and second generation car?
