Legend Reborn - Every so often, the automotive world experiences a moment when heritage and innovation align perfectly — a moment that feels less like engineering and more like artistry. That moment is happening right now in Italy, where Pininfarina and JAS Motorsport are breathing new life into one of Japan’s most revered sports cars: the Honda NSX. What began in the 1990s as a revolutionary blend of performance and approachability is now being reimagined for a modern era. For JAS Motorsport — long recognized for its mastery in Honda’s touring, GT, and endurance programs — this marks an ambitious first: crafting a high-performance road car that embodies both its racing DNA and Pininfarina’s legendary design vision.

At JAS’s atelier in Arluno,
near Milan,
the project has reached the “body-fitting” stage,
where concept sketches begin to take physical form. Each vehicle starts with
a donor NSX from the 1990s,
reborn through a full carbon-fiber body meticulously sculpted by Pininfarina. The design pays homage to the timeless balance of the original while introducing sharper aerodynamics and refined Italian aesthetics.
Inside,
the cockpit stays true to the NSX philosophy —
an unfiltered link between driver and machine — yet evolves with modern ergonomics and premium materials, seamlessly blending analog emotion with contemporary craftsmanship.

Beneath its elegant skin lies a naturally aspirated V6 engine,
a deliberate nod to purity in an age dominated by hybrid and electric systems.
Engineered for high power,
torque,
and immediate response,
it promises a visceral driving experience amplified by a six-speed manual transmission.
This choice is not a retreat into nostalgia but a statement —
a celebration of mechanical honesty and the tactile satisfaction that only true drivers understand.
Every element,
from its carbon construction to its racing-derived components,
speaks of authenticity,
balance,
and precision.

While details such as the car’s official name,
specifications,
and production numbers remain undisclosed,
anticipation builds for its unveiling in the first half of 2026.
More than a revival,
this collaboration between Pininfarina and JAS Motorsport feels like a dialogue between eras — a graceful merging of 1990s purity with present-day innovation. In a world increasingly defined by automation,
this reborn NSX dares to stay human, reminding us that great design and great driving share one timeless truth: emotion will always matter.
