2016 Acura NSX vs Ford GT

The unveiling of the 2016 Acura NSX and its upcoming release date have created unprecedented excitement for drivers interested in incomparable supercar performance. Excitement surrounding the Acura NSX was only rivaled by that of the new Ford GT. Each of these track-tuned supercars is a reimagined edition of a past model and represents modern-age performance and design. Take a look at how these two performance-based models measure up in our 2016 Acura NSX vs Ford GT supercar comparison.

Employing similar designs, each model feature a mid-engine design to center the weight and performance of these supercars and optimize handling. Built from lightweight materials these models maximize acceleration, handling and efficiency and are among the most innovative on the road. The Acura NSX achieves lighter curb weight by using a multi-material design built from aluminum and high-strength steel while the Ford GT is designed with an aluminum frame and carbon fiber bodywork.

Under the hood these supercars possess explosive levels of power that are unprecedented in their respective vehicle lineups. Hammering out more than 600 horsepower, the all-new Ford GT employs a high-output, twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 that utilizes a seven-speed dual clutch transmission to send power to the rear wheels. The 2016 Acura NSX takes a more innovative approach to its performance, employing a Sport Hybrid power design. Combining the power of a twin-turbo 75-degree, DOHC V-6 engine and high-torque electric motors to produce more than 550 horsepower, the Acura NSX offers all-wheel drive handling and is paired with a nine-speed dual-clutch transmission.

The advantage that the Acura NSX possesses over its Ford GT supercar counterpart is its zero-launch capabilities that stem from its hybrid design. Responsive handling and instantaneous agility are also the result of Acura’s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive, which optimizes traction and torque distribution in any and all driving conditions. Though both of the supercars in our 2016 Acura NSX vs Ford GT comparison have similar designs, the innovative hybrid power system and all-wheel drive performance feature give the Acura NSX an edge.
