I think , it is just that the timing of the NSX 2nd gen was a bit off... Nobody wanted to make hybrid supercars at that point of time... Personally tho, I love that car...

Honda ahead of the game....again

Did not change the supercar game. car manufacturers are being forced to go down the hybrid route due to regulations. None will go hybrid if it was not for that.

@@asphalt_ghostrider Acura always misses mark the by generation or two first it was the ZDX and then the second gen NSX if they timed both cars it would have been huge success I mean look at the GLE and X6 suv coupes are all the hype now and now everyone is using V6 TT with hybrids with super cars

Hardly, this is inevitable to meet emissions standards. NSX probably had zero influence. I mean its been a decade.

Now just needs some Spanish lessons 😆

i also thot it but had not said it😎

Also impressive how competitive the NSX, particularly the refresh and final edition, still is with these new hybrids. Honestly, if it weren't so let down by interior quality, it could have made waves in the same way as the og r8 or gtr, but noone wanted to spend 100k+ for that Honda satnav.

@@supersnail5000 and unfortunately, that left people with the desire of handling performance machines felt shortchanged, because honda skimping out what should be the comfort. If the infotainment is in a Type R, then it's no big deal, but we are speaking like $200k level of money

Except for Chris Harris.

@@lfa9329 Absolutely... Sadly Chris doesn't do enough KZfaq. The normal top gear youtubers are dull... I go out of my way to listen to anything from Rory or Chris.

@@mikadavies660 I think you are dull if you think this dude aint dull, he knows numbers thats it and can't drive for shit. He will also never be a Jermemy Clarkson, his jokes are stupid but he thinks they're so good.

@@mikadavies660 I couldn't agree more.

Rory and Chris are great! As far as Top Gear goes nothing can be the trio of Clarkson, Hammond and May.

mclarens and any british manufacturer for that matter-have been having a lot of reliability issues since their preconception. so they’re never going to get better reliability wise. even a huracan is more reliable…

@@moistydoooood more reliable dude a huracan gets 200k miles without problems

from Rory's closing statement it sounded like very minor issues, the key fob thing is just an oversight in passing that information to the driver or driver error. Passenger seat too, sounds minor nothing like the major issues they had with the 720S.

@@larssonk22 agreed

@@moistydoooood So many lies in a single post it's unbelievable. You're full of bullshit.

I guess they wanted better brake feel/ability rather than when it gets corrupted by regen? Though I'd argue with the other choices being more daily driver oriented I would also have included regen braking.

@@R03333 definetly

But I thought it was obvious

Double if your not Regeneratively getting power back from braking (its a criminal omission IMHO!)

@@passivehouseaustralia4406 It's a shocking and absurd omission not to have any sort of regeneration.

all plug-in-hybrid cars make sure that the hybrid battery never runs out completely by charging it with the internal combustion engine (or with the regenerative braking where available (not for Artura)). Because the hybrid battery always has some energy in it, the car can *always* deliver its full power using the electric boost. all plug-in-hybrid cars are quicker because of the electric bits because the electric torque is instant and the 2 power units work at the same time.

Hello Zanzibar! My father is from Zanzibar. He's born 1948. I drive an Audi R8 V10 plus.

Any time you're not using 100% engine power, which is virtually any time you're not in a drag or at the track, the car has spare power available to keep the battery charged. You'll only potentially kill it if you run it in e-mode or hot lap mode.

The Ferrari is even MORE expensive... Once you start ticking the option boxes in the Ferrari you're chasing 300.000... yikes.

Anything mclaren is crazy

It’s for the American market lol 🤣

Everybody uploaded at the same roughly. I imagine that was the end of the press embargo

I live in California. Can’t imagine the end of the day coming up already 😟

Thanks Michale Parry - Rory Reid :)

I think you ignore the fact, that reviews like these cost a lot of time, editing, filming, contacts, money and manpower to make possible. Autotrader gets him this, and at the same time relieves his from money-issues etc.

Why is Chris a measuring stick? Chris is Chris, Rory is Rory

Because Chris has been a road tester, car mag editor, etc for years and is very respected in the circles... More so than Jeremy Clarkson in numerous factors and by some margin might I add. Just like Rory compares the Altura to the Ferrari GTB and MC20. Comparisons will always happen, but not necessarily for a negative reason. From my earlier definition, one could take away that is Rory better than Clarkson if he's just as good as Chris.

@@torbinzix1 a car reviewer is a car reviewer is a car reviewer. That to me is like likening a green sour apple to the sweetness of a red apple. They both have their strengths, experience aside, they shine in their own unique ways, that's why none of them should be measured up against the other.

@@DjiCandi you're talking about entertainment. I'm talking about car reviews, while they are all equal some are more equal than others. I recently watched a review of the Lotus Emira. Initially I watched it on Autocar and thought it was a well rounded review as is Autocar, albeit before Steve Sutcliffe when to Auto Express. I then spotted in the suggestions the EVO review of the same car and I was intrigued as I recognised the reviewer from the WEC paddock as a reporter, so I thought the credentials were a good start. The reviewer dissected the cars handling in a much more technical way and by doing so gave better definition to the bigger picture in the Lotus story. Autocar = meh.. the car's alright. EVO = the car's okay, but dynamically underwhelming. Now if you wanted to buy the car or needed these fine details then for sure you need to know who's better. Moreover Rory Reid has the perfect blend of EVO style real world facts with a Top Gear-esque style of entertainment, this balance marries to provides a very watchable and worthwhile experience.

@@torbinzix1 Carwow is entertainment mate, car reviewers differ from the next and I think that's where you misunderstand me. Your ability to watch reviews from one reviewer to the next speaks to what I'm on about here (I do the same) because Rory doesn't have Chris' experience shouldn't reduce him to being measured up against Chris or Catchpole or Clarkson in the first place. Like you said, comparisons will always be made. That stick is not the right one to use though.

That was funny.

Just saw the video, and was about to write about the MC20 being referred as the McLaren MC20.. read through all the comments and found that you got it first 👍🏻
