Honda's (Acura's) breakthrough engineering in the NSX was a major contributor to the design of the McLaren F1 as mentioned in an interview with McLaren F1 designer Gordon Murray.
"The moment I drove the NSX, all the benchmark cars—Ferrari, Porsche,
Lamborghini—I had been using as references in the development of my car
vanished from my mind. Of course the car we would create, the McLaren
F1, needed to be faster than the NSX, but the NSX's ride quality and
handling would become our new design target." The NSX was marketed as
the first "Everyday Supercar" thanks in part to its ease of use,
quality and reliability. Murray himself remained an NSX owner for 7
years.
