Honda's Japanese site contains a couple of interviews with what appears to be a designer and engineer of the '02 NSX. Engrish by AltaVista:


When you design the NSX, thinking first, the extrusion stronger
It means we would like to making the styling. So far, body lower part single step squeezing
Accent was given to side design. This time, making project that at once,
Being to think, we would like to give the " power impression " to the car, it does.
On one hand, for aerodynamic evolution needing the volume rise of the subordinate work, being
It is the case that directivity of the thinking and aerodynamic development of the designer agrees beautifully.
Then the designer and aerodynamic charge become assemblage, beauty and efficiency are compatible in the actual recirculating air cave
It kept boiling down the ???. As for the development, you call something
Being not to be different in work, it does, but it did with truly easy forcing ones.
When design is fumbled a little, the extent where the aerodynamics is surprised it changes. Whether saying,
When it does not advance to the direction which does not have point, improves design also the aerodynamics keeps becoming good.
The among those in various ways it is, is absorbed also discovery unintentionally and it was the extent which forgets that time passes.
For example, " circle " of bumper corner part with, as for air conditioner duct the inside that
There being a very delicate relationship, form inside the duct and direction of the hole side the whole body
It was found that it has an influence on the flow of the wind. To spend time, " the circle " condition to finely
It kept boiling down. In addition as for chin spoiler, point intend in board form doing
It has improved the lift quality the around the front. Those similar thought
Whether certain the ?????, like the NSX as for sharp ones you think it is not.
And it is the headlight.
As for this, the one that it is and and others the ? plain gauze is while it is the retractor bull is better.
But, when lifting, when lowering, aerodynamic efficiency is different largely being
Somehow, you applied.
As for lighting up, running the headlight with the circuit you think it is good.
We would not like to change handling quality such time. Birth at that time of the NSX
The retractor bull was selected, but change of aerodynamic quality and efficiency improvement et cetera of the headlight single unit,
When function the fact that it keeps overtaking at a higher dimension is taken into consideration, it should make stationary type,
It is our selection.
This time, the around the headlight of the NSX it disassembles many degrees in order to examine design,
Weight of retractor bull unit was realized again.
In other words, as for new headlight design, in overhang section putting
Approximately weight decrease of the 10kg (model comparison before the NSX) being to have contributed, it does.
Whether and, becomes aware also the person who comes the ?????,
Adjusting to the modification of design of the headlight, the bonnet hood
Volume was raised.
As for this, when sitting down in the cockpit, by the fact that existence of the tire is made to feel strongly,
Being visual forcibleness and to pursue the aim cheapness of the clipping point, it doesThat and the latest another news, new It is setting of the custom order color. For the sport car, as for the color the importance of design It is the point. As for especially Long Beach blue * pearl, The expensive pigment and color clearing whose chroma is high are used, to assiduously Coating by the fact that it lifts, in the former mass production car The vivid color which it cannot put out is actualized. When it makes word, light struck the part of the highlight where Become white, securely, it expresses the color impression, the shadow becomes As for the place the color which has depth could be expressed say to It becomes, probably will be. Being this vivid, in the transparent impression it overflows The blue has made exterior design be prominent. Effort of the staff of the Takanezawa factory which makes the NSX and, It actualizes at last with prejudice of the color designer special Because it is color, you think rather and there is inserting.
**********************************************************************
Development of the NSX is pleasant. As an engineer, one sport car
This much, watch thoroughly, send therefore being able to develop quite rare is.
The staff until you agree upon, does not pull even with modification of the little specifications.
Until you can obtain the feeling good quality which you aim it pierces efficiency and keeps stuffing.
As for that, the policy which does not change from the beginning when the NSX was built up being
You cannot talk with the specifications, really trying grasping the steering wheel, being able to send, trying
Or trying watching, because it makes the efficiency which you feel important is.
When depressing the pedal, when entering into the reaction and the corner of the car, early responsiveness
Balance response in cornering, feeling good quality of standing rising....
The joy, feeling good quality and feeling good quality of the sport car you call
It pierces feeling efficiency and stuffs and it thinks the fact that it offers to society is the NSX.
When it tries probably being thorough such, were built up thoroughly to those which
Thoroughly to keep inserting the hand, being to think it is best it does.
In order also for everyone to know, until now the NSX accomplished various evolution.
While spending 10 years, it totals when
It was the hard evolution which is close to full model change thought it is.
The among those being constant with the styling, once upon a time thinking we would like to start, as for
It is certain. The among such, to accumulate the basic research of the aerodynamics, the case of styling evolution furthermore
Aerodynamic efficiency of the worldwide point will be pursued, being to aim, it does. At last is, don't you think?.
Make wait it did... with with the feeling which is said as a aerodynamics and a sport car
It was possible to build up the new styling from the point, charm.
The front to low profile it converts also the tire, expands the width the rear.
Furthermore it shaved also the wheel and was packed, actualized light weight conversion. Such delicate evolution ,
With Takasu focusing on the running being packed pouring enormous time, it is finished.
With improvement of aerodynamic efficiency, stability of high-speed corner and feeling of acceleration
To be good the ? not only it is, with winding and the like
You think also the joy of working increased and furthermore.
In addition, the designer adhering, with the exterior and the interior more vivid
Reaching the point where the ?????????? can be enjoyed the sport car doing
Is not charm, probably will be? The Long Beach blue * pearl and the like of especially custom color,
Many degrees the designer went in the Takanezawa factory, could actualize with the paint material of prejudice and method of painting
It is the exterior color of prejudice. If being possible, seeing, we would like you to ride, don't you think? is.
You call also the new styling very and it is feeling.
Force increased forcefully. New NSX. With the evolution of 11th year,
With reaching to one completion limits... with you feel.
The technician who knows the NSX and exhausts, including heart,
It is one sport car which was built up assiduously.
How please enjoy.
