Pininfarina Reveals Honda NSX Restomod 'Tensei' at Milan Design Week
Pininfarina has released new images of the Tensei, a restomod of the first-generation Honda NSX developed for JAS Motorsport. The car was first shown at Milan Design Week, revealing a design that refines rather than reimagines the original. The Tensei features an extended wheelbase, wider track, shorter rear overhang, softened edges, and lowered ride height. It is powered by a naturally aspirated V-6 inspired by the NSX's VTEC engine, paired exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission. No price or release date has been announced, but first-generation NSXs can fetch up to $1 million at auction. JAS Motorsport has collaborated with Honda since the late 1990s.
