About the NSX 3.2 VTEC (290 Hp) RWD
The C32B enlarged the V6 to 3.2 liters with 290 hp and added a six-speed manual. The extra displacement improved midrange torque — the NA2 pulled harder from 3,000 RPM onward — while maintaining the screaming top end that defined the C30A. The six-speed gearbox was tighter and more precise. The fixed headlights changed the face. The NA2 was the NSX refined by a decade of production experience — faster, more responsive, and still naturally aspirated.
