I wanna start off by saying that goddamn I love myself some historically significant cars that led to another potentially better car!!!

Honda/Acura NSX

the same people who made your Honda Accord, Civic Type R, and Integra Type Rs are behind this exotic looking supercar, she had 270 horsepower. at its lightest it didn't even break 3 tons with a weight of 2,910 lb (1,320 kg). and the handling was superb with it being the main concern for the car

McLaren F1

I know that there's a second generation NSX but this car came sooner and I would argue it's just a better successor car than the second gen NSX, given Gordon Murray sites the NSX as inspiration she had an impressive 618 horsepower and with a weight of 2,509 lb (1,138 kg)
