Prepare to be amazed! The iconic Honda NSX is reborn, not just as a restoration, but as a breathtaking restomod, the JAS Tensei, sculpted by the legendary Pininfarina. Unveiled on December 9th, 2025, this project promises to redefine the classic sports car experience.
This isn't just a facelift; it's a complete transformation. Pininfarina, celebrating its 95th anniversary, has crafted a brand new carbon fiber body for the JAS Tensei, taking early-1990s NSX chassis as its starting point. Buyers will have the option of either left- or right-hand drive, catering to a global audience.
Under the sleek exterior, significant mechanical upgrades are in store, leveraging JAS Motorsport's extensive engineering expertise. Production will be extremely limited, taking place at their facility near Milan.
The JAS Tensei keeps the heart of the original NSX with a naturally aspirated V6 engine, but JAS has breathed new life into it. Expect quicker response, increased output, and stronger torque, all managed through a classic six-speed manual gearbox.
While interior images are still under wraps, the cabin design will stay true to the first-generation NSX layout. Pininfarina aims to preserve the core NSX philosophy: a direct connection between car and driver, fostering genuine engagement. But here's where it gets controversial... Will a restomod, no matter how beautifully executed, truly capture the essence of the original?
JAS Motorsport has a rich history with Honda, including the GT3 version of the latest NSX, so you can expect top-tier performance. And this is the part most people miss... The attention to detail in the JAS Tensei promises a driving experience that's both nostalgic and exhilarating.
