In 1997 Honda gave the NSX its biggest performance update. Manual cars moved from 3.0 to 3.2 liters, using thinner fiber-reinforced metal cylinder liners and stainless steel headers. The C32B V6 makes 290 horsepower and 225 lb-ft, with a new six-speed manual. Automatic cars kept the 3.0-liter engine. Here we have a 1997 NSX in Monte Carlo Blue Pearl, with the manual gearbox.
