Nsx On Tv

[Sudesh]

If anyone can add to this the post away!!!

Appeared in Top Gear in 1991

In Quentin Tarantino's 1994 film Pulp Fiction, Harvey Keitel's character, Winston Wolf, drives this vehicle, identifying it as an Acura. In the film, Wolf completes a typically 30-minute drive through Los Angeles in "nine minutes and 37 seconds." He also offers Jules and Vincent a ride, even though the NSX only has two seats.

The NSX was also featured in an episode of the popular Seinfeld show "The Muffin Tops" (episode #155), in which Elaine needed help to dispose of the muffin stumps. A black NSX slides around the corner and parks. Postman Newman plays a perfect homage to The Wolf, as he emerges, enters the muffin store, and proceeds to solve Elaine's problem.

In 2005 Jeremy Clarkson, the presenter of BBC Two's Top Gear, attempted to drive around Laguna Seca faster in real life than he could on Gran Turismo 4 in near identical cars. As he didn't want to destroy the car by taking too much risk, he ultimately failed in his pursuit, but he wanted to send the recently discontinued NSX out in style.

A white NSX-R can be seen driving through a country road in the company's 2005 commercial, titled "Impossible Dream" .

Wow, you have been swotting away, all I can add is:

Tiff Niddell driving one when he was in old TG, against 911 & other similar cars, he prefered the Porker, the car might be Simonpreludes here on the forum, an orange & he spun it?

Richard Hammond on TG driving a white Type R & the Stig doing a very very wet lap for the power board.

Tiff driving a yellow one late NA2 against a diesel Nitro Golf driven by Vicki on 5th Gear

Vicki paying tribute to the X & giving silver one away in a competition on 5th Gear

A race against 911 turbo, corvette C5 & similar cars on TG or 5th gear, think the late NA2 X came 3rd

Vicki on old TG comparing X with the Venturey? that french supercar

Thats all I can remember now. Off to ZZZ now !

There are references to NSXs in TV shows (Emmerdale, Torchwood, Hotel Babylon etc.) on these threads:

and a Type R also appeared briefly in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, which you can see in my review of it here: http://www.forwardcharm.co.uk/fastandfurious3.php

I caught a re-run of TopGear last night on Sky. I think it was episode 5 of the new format with Jezzer, Hamster and Captain Slow.

Hamster had fitted nitrous to an old XJS to race the (then) current crop of Supercars which included a 'certain Orange Targa'

IIRC this was the second series of the new format, as in the first series they had a large rotund guy (who can be found on men and motors now) but Jermey and Richard didn't get on with him so they brought in James and the rest they say is history.
