Upgrades to the The Clarion Builds NSX Include: Working with a collection of well-known automotive industry brands who all share the same fascination and passion for iconic classic cars, the build plans for Clarion Builds' Acura NSX project were strategically laid out to make a car that was praised as being perfect upon its arrival 25 years ago become perfect again by today's standards. The desperately outdated electronics and a completely worn interior, offered a great opportunity for Clarion to showcase its latest innovations in audio, infotainment, and intelligent safety electronics in a worthy vehicle. The car was cared for and physically in good condition, though with such high miles on the odometer, the suspension and drivetrain were in dire need of attention. In the 25 years between when the Clarion Builds project car left Honda's Tochigi factory in Japan until Clarion acquired the car, it had traveled 230,000 trouble-free miles with no more than a scratch and chip here and there on the paint. When it was originally acquired, the Clarion Builds NSX project car was a quintessential example of what the NSX was originally designed to be: a supercar that could be driven daily and affordably maintained. We maintained the car's gorgeous factory design and added subtle aerodynamic upgrades to accentuate its lines, and focused our attention on improving its already stellar handling and performance while giving it electronics upgrades that even the most expensive super cars on the market would be jealous of."

However, we stayed true to the Clarion Builds' theme of tastefully modifying and upgrading iconic classics while paying homage to the car's classic beauty. "When building a car that has a fanatic following and a plethora of aftermarket parts readily available, it's easy to be tempted to go overboard with upgrades. Gharapetian, Vice President of Marketing and Product Planning at Clarion and Chief of the Clarion Builds Program. "With the original NSX hitting classic status this year and the reimagined 2017 Acura NSX on the horizon, we wanted our Clarion Builds NSX to serve as a tribute to the car's remarkable history and celebrate the upcoming arrival of its long-awaited successor," said Allen H. Featuring 21 st century driver-focused electronics, a high-resolution Full Digital Sound system fit for an audiophile, countless engine and performance upgrades, and an intentional restrain to keep the iconic style and classic lines of the original design principally intact, the supercar will be on display during CES 2016 in the ballroom foyer at the Westgate Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. In six short months, Clarion and its Clarion Builds program partners collaborated on transforming a worn out, high-mileage daily driven NSX into a reawakened supercar. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ - Clarion Corporation of America announced today the completion of the transformation of its legendary year-one Acura NSX 'Clarion Builds' project car.
