Good news, if you like your supercars analogue and your nostalgia dialled up to eleven: the Honda NSX Tensei is shaping up to be something rather special. Cooked up by Pininfarina and JAS Motorsport, last week this rebooted NSX has been flexing a bit more muscle at Milano Design Week—and yes, it’s been hitting the gym.

The proportions have had a proper going-over. It’s longer, wider, lower, and generally angrier than the original—like the 1989 car discovered protein shakes and never looked back. There’s a longer wheelbase, shorter rear overhang, and those gloriously pumped rear arches that scream classic Pininfarina.

In fact, there’s more than a hint of Ferrari 288 GTO in the way it hunkers down. Crucially, though, it hasn’t forgotten where it came from: pop-up headlights and that integrated rear spoiler are still present and correct, just given a modern twist.

Now for the really juicy bit. No turbos. No hybrid gubbins. No flappy paddles. Instead, you get a naturally aspirated V6—based on the original NSX’s architecture—paired with a proper six-speed manual gearbox. Imagine that. In 2026. It might not win the numbers game, but frankly, who cares when it promises this much feel?

Inside, details are still under wraps, but expect a cabin that sticks to the NSX’s famously driver-focused layout while upping the material game considerably. Think fewer screens, more tactility (hopefully), and visibility that doesn’t require a periscope.

It’ll all be hand-built by JAS Motorsport in Italy, with bespoke touches handled by Pininfarina themselves. Full reveal? Sometime in 2026. Price? Probably “don’t ask.” But if they get this right—and early signs suggest they might—this could be the thinking enthusiast’s restomod dream.
