Honda will begin the series production of the next-generation Honda NSX supercar in late April 2016 at its new Performance Manufacturing Centre (PMC) in Marysville, Ohio. Sales for the European market are set to begin in early Q4-2016.
The Performance Manufacturing Centre is the exclusive newly-built global manufacturing facility for the all-new NSX. The NSX is constructed entirely in-house at the PMC, which was a clean-sheet development designed around the NSX’s unique multi-material body and aluminium-intensive spaceframe.
Clement D’ Souza, the engineering large project leader of the PMC, who managed the creation of the facility commented, “All of the innovative thinking and hard work that has gone into the creation of this state-of-the-art manufacturing facility has fulfilled our goal to build a supercar in America. The incredible passion and challenging spirit of our highly skilled associates is readily seen in the world-class quality and incredible dynamic performance of this next generation Honda NSX supercar.”
The PMC employs approximately 100 associates who support or are directly engaged in body construction, painting, assembly and quality confirmation. These craftspeople work together with advanced robotics to build the NSX.
The NSX manufacturing process has led to the application for 12 U.S. patents.
