'17 Acura NSX（ホットホイール2016シリーズ）

アキュラ（アキュラ・アキュラ？）は、日本の自動車メーカー、ホンダの高級車です。このブランドは、1986年3月に米国とカナダで発売され、高級車、高性能車、高性能車を販売しています。 1991年に香港、2004年にメキシコ、2006年に中国、2014年にロシア、2015年にクウェートに導入された。ホンダは2008年に国内市場にアキュラを導入する予定であったが、 2008年の金融危機の結果として保留された。

アキュラは、日本初の自動車用高級ブランドとしての差別を受けています。アキュラの創設は、高級車を販売していたホンダクリオと呼ばれるJDMホンダディーラー販売チャネルの導入、以前に設立されたホンダVernoに続いて、ホンダプリモに続く翌年に導入されました。最初の数年間、Acuraは米国で最も売れていた高級ブランドのひとつだった。 1990年代半ばから後半にかけて販売は減少しましたが、劇的な再設計と新型モデルの導入により、2000年代初めに復活しました。

創業以来、アキュラは自動車産業の先駆者でした。 1980年代後半、同社初のフラッグシップ車であるレジェンドの成功は、日本の自動車メーカートヨタと日産がそれぞれ独自の高級ブランド、レクサスとインフィニティを投入するよう促しました。 1990年に発売された中型エキゾチックなスポーツカーであるNSXは、ヨーロッパのスポーツカーに代わる信頼性の高い実用的な代替車を提供し、北米市場にはホンダのVTEC可変バルブタイミングシステムを導入しました。 1993年伝説のクーペはホンダが6速マニュアルトランスミッションを最初に使用し、タイプIIエンジンと組み合わされています。 1990年代後半には、軽量化、剛性と低サスペンション、高出力のVTECエンジンを特長とする、コンパクトなIntegraクーペのType Rバージョンを生産しました。

2000年代初めに、同社の最初のすべてのオリジナルSUVであるMDXとIntegraクーペとセダンを置き換えた2つのモデルであるRSXとTSXを含む新しいモデルがAcuraによって導入されました。この10年間で、RSX、CL、TLのタイプSバージョンがブランドのラインナップに追加されました。アキュラの2005年のRLフラッグシップは、トルクベクトル化全輪駆動システムであるSH-AWDを発表しました。クロスオーバーSUVの2007 RDXは北米初のターボチャージャー型のホンダエンジンを搭載しています。 2010年代、アキュラは、ILX、TLX、RLXなどの新モデルをデビューしました。後者はAcuraのJewel Eye LEDヘッドライトを発表しました。第2世代のNSXは2015年に発売され、ツインターボエンジンのミッドエンジン、9スピードのデュアルクラッチトランスミッション、スポーツハイブリッドSH-AWDを搭載しています。.

'14 Honda Odyssey (Hot Wheels 2016 series)

The Honda Odyssey is a minivan manufactured by Japanese automaker Honda since 1994.

The Odyssey had originally been conceived and engineered in Japan, in the wake of country's economic crisis of the 1990s – which in turn imposed severe constraints on the vehicle's size and overall concept, dictating the minivan's manufacture in an existing facility with minimal modification. The result was a smaller minivan, in the Compact MPV class, that was well received in the Japanese domestic market and less well received in North America. The first generation Odyssey was marketed in Europe as the Shuttle.

Subsequent generations diverged to reflect market variations, and Honda built a plant in Lincoln, Alabama, incorporating the ability to manufacture larger models. Since model year 1999, Honda has marketed a larger (large MPV-class) Odyssey in North America and a smaller Odyssey in Japan and other markets. Honda also offered the larger North American Odyssey in Japan as Honda LaGreat between 1999 and 2005. Both versions of the Odyssey were sold in Japan at Honda Clio dealership locations.

The North American fourth generation Odyssey was officially released on sale on September 30, 2010 for the 2011 model year.

Honda presented the 2011 Odyssey Concept in early 2010 at the Chicago Auto Show and officially on June 17; with a larger, wider body, a lower roofline and revised styling.

The redesigned Odyssey features options including 12-speaker 650 watt audio system (Touring Elite), a voice-controlled satellite GPS and DVD navigation system with XM NavTraffic (Touring and above, available EX-L), an external HDMI input (Touring Elite), a larger 16.2-inch (410 mm) split-screen rear-seat DVD entertainment system (Touring Elite), a "cool box" chilled by the air conditioning (EX-L and above), a stowable 3rd row 60/40 split bench seat, a removable first row center console (EX and above), and a new steering wheel via updates.

The 2011 Odyssey includes projector headlamps or HID xenon low-beam headlamps (Touring Elite), standard 17-inch wheels, 18-inch alloy wheels (Touring and above), and 6-speed automatic transmission (Touring and above). All trims come standard with a backup camera, with higher trims offer a tri-angle rearview camera. The body is constructed using 59% high strength steel, ranging from 390-1,500 MPa yield strength.
Mid-generational refresh

For the 2014 model year, Honda facelifted the Odyssey. This includes a 6-speed automatic transmission on all trims, sleeker exterior styling with a new aluminum hood, aluminum front fenders, twin-bar grille and revised lower front fascia with integrated fog lights, darker-finish projector headlight housings, Smart entry availability and LED rear taillight bars. A built-in vacuum cleaner system is included with the Touring Elite model.

Honda's i-MID, also available on the Civic and Accord, is also standard for 2014, all models get standard Pandora Internet Radio capabilities, Bluetooth Hands-Free Link, iPod, iPhone, and USB integration, a 3.5 millimeter auxiliary input jack, and a color display screen.


The models for 2014 include the LX, the EX, the EX w/ Leather (EX-L), the Touring, and the Touring Elite; the SE trim, which is positioned between LX and EX, is available for the Canadian market . New exterior paint colors are available for 2014, as are new interior fabrics and trim pieces.

'12 Acura NSX Concept (Hot Wheels 2015 series)

'12 Acura NSX Concept (Hot Wheels 2015 series)

The Honda NSX, marketed as Acura NSX in North America, is a mid-engine sports car manufactured by Honda. The first-generation prototype debuted in 1989 at the Chicago Auto Show under the developmental code name NS-X, which represented "New", "Sportscar" and "eXperimental". The prototype's name was later adopted as the official name of the production model, with a slight change to NSX. The rear-wheel drive two-seater was the first car from Honda with an all-aluminium body. Powered by an all-aluminium V6 engine, it featured Honda's VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) system developed in the 1980s. The NSX was manufactured in Japan from 1990 to 2005 before being discontinued.

In December 2011, Honda officially announced the second-generation NSX concept, which was unveiled the following month at the 2012 North American International Auto Show. The first production version was shown three years later at the 2015 North American International Auto Show. The all-wheel drive NSX hybrid features a twin-turbo V6 engine and several different drive mode operations. Unlike the first generation, the new NSX is manufactured in the United States.

In April 2011, Automotive News reported that Honda is developing a new sports car to be a successor to the NSX. It reports that Honda CEO Ito said the car would be exhilarating to drive but also environmentally friendly. It is expected the vehicle will incorporate an electric drivetrain to give the petrol engine a boost. Back in late 2010, Motor Trend reported that Honda was looking into a mid-engine hybrid sports car to be an NSX successor.

In December 2011, Acura announced that they would show the next generation NSX in concept form at the 2012 North American International Auto Show. On January 9, 2012, Acura unveiled the 2012 Acura NSX Concept.

2012 Acura NSX Concept
The new concept retained a 2-door coupe, mid-engine layout but with all-wheel drive. The use of a high-tech platform made from lightweight materials permitted weight to be kept down. Power came from a V6 mounted behind the cockpit, sending its output to the rear wheels. Acura's SH-AWD incorporates one electric motor in a dual-clutch transmission to augment the thermal engine thus forming a hybrid setup. Additionally, two more electric motors able to instantly send negative or positive torque to the front wheels during cornering also formed part of the powertrain.

Acura claimed the resulting all-wheel drive system would provide better handling and Ferrari 458-matching acceleration while offering greater efficiency relative to the naturally aspirated 4.5-Litre V8 engine on the rival supercar.

Marketing and reception
In September 2011, during filming of The Avengers, Robert Downey, Jr. (playing the role of Iron Man) was spotted in an exotic sports car based on the new NSX, made specifically for the film, rather than the Audi R8 he previously drove in Iron Man and Iron Man 2. The car itself was built by Trans FX using an existing 1992 NSX.

A Super Bowl advertisement for the vehicle began airing in early February 2012, featuring Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno.

In 2013, Acura launched an online configuration tool for the new NSX on Facebook. Later that year, the car was featured in the video game Gran Turismo 6.

Referring to the second generation NSX, noted automotive design critic Robert Cumberford said that its "very hard to mess up the styling of a mid-engine sports car... but Acura has managed it."
