New Honda NSX: ‘90s Supercar Icon Reborn! | 4K
The EAS Tensei is a restomod of the legendary Honda NSX, developed by the experienced firm EAS (Yes!) in collaboration with Honda. It raises the question of whether icons should be altered at all – but this example convinces:
- Design & Bodywork: The carbon-fiber body is designed by Pininfarina and stays true to the original while looking more modern. Details like pop-up headlights, a wider front, and a redesigned rear with diffuser and light bar give a fresh appearance.
- Engine: A 3.5-liter V6 (no VTEC) tuned by Judd produces 420 hp and revs to 8,500 rpm. Naturally aspirated – as an NSX should be.
- Chassis & Weight: Thanks to the carbon body, the Tensei weighs approx. 1,400 kg (original: 1,370 kg). New suspension, electro-hydraulic steering, and electronically adjustable KW dampers (like in the Porsche 911 GT3 RS) enhance dynamics.
- Interior: Modern digital display (switchable to classic analog look), Apple CarPlay, air conditioning, and a 6-speed manual gearbox with clutch – pure emotion.
- Price & Availability: Around £770,000 (plus local taxes) – and you must supply an original NSX as a donor car. Honda fully approves.
Conclusion: The Tensei is not about overpowering the car, but a respectful reinterpretation – the Japanese word "Tensei" means reincarnation. And that's exactly what it is.
