While the Acura NSX is known for generally benign handling characteristics, it is still a mid-engined supercar, and it demands respect from its driver – especially on a wet road with the stability control (probably) switched off. It also won’t respond well to a ham-fisted or inexperienced driver. As for the Jeep, it’s probably trundled off into the sunset by now, none the worse for wear.
Little more than 2,800 second-gen NSXs have been produced globally, of which 1,814 were sold within the United States, meaning the expensive damage and potential loss here would mean one fewer of an already rare super sports car. It’s just as well, then, that it wasn’t an NSX Type S, of which only 350 will be built for global consumption, 300 of those residing in the US.
