Acura NSX Engines and Transmissions

The Acura NSX engine choices shown here are gasoline units in a rear-wheel-drive Coupe. The 3.0 MT and 3.0 AT share displacement but split on transmission; the 3.2 MT pairs a larger engine with a manual. Your powertrain pick is mostly about how much you want to shift for yourself.
