Part of the development process, especially to match the performance figures of competitors, involved the development of an all-new engine, the C30A 3.0L V6. This was the first Honda V6 engine to use a new system known as Variable valve Timing and Emission Control, or VTEC. The engine, after refinement and tuning, produced 270 HP.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1991_acura_nsx_Web-50082-Acura-NSX-Red-157-73014.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-529752\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1991_acura_nsx_Web-50082-Acura-NSX-Red-157-73014.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1991_acura_nsx_Web-50082-Acura-NSX-Red-157-73014.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1991_acura_nsx_Web-50082-Acura-NSX-Red-157-73014-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1991_acura_nsx_Web-50082-Acura-NSX-Red-157-73014-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1991_acura_nsx_Web-50082-Acura-NSX-Red-157-73014-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1991_acura_nsx_Web-50082-Acura-NSX-Red-157-73014-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1991_acura_nsx_Web-50082-Acura-NSX-Red-157-73014-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1991_acura_nsx_Web-50082-Acura-NSX-Red-157-73014-293x165.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1991_acura_nsx_Web-50082-Acura-NSX-Red-157-73014-1400x788.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This may not sound like much, but the <a href=\"https:\/\/sportscardigest.com\/by-design-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NSX<\/a> was built from aluminum and, for the first cars released at least, had a wet weight of 3,010 lbs (1,370 kg), making it as light as a <a href=\"https:\/\/sportscardigest.com\/celebrating-30-years-ferrari-f40-pictures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ferrari F40<\/a>.
