Tires and Wheels
For better traction, the SF90 has larger tires than the NSX (F:255/35R20 & R:315/30R20 vs. F:245/35R19 & R:305/30R20).
For better ride, handling and brake cooling the SF90 has standard 20-inch wheels. Only 19-inch front wheels are available on the NSX.
Suspension and Handling
The SF90’s front to rear weight distribution is more even (45% to 55%) than the NSX’s (42% to 58%). This gives the SF90 more stable handling and braking.
The SF90 Assetto Fiorano Coupe handles at 1.07 G’s, while the NSX pulls only 1.00 G’s of cornering force in a Motor Trend skidpad test.
Chassis
The Ferrari SF90 may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 450 to 500 pounds less than the Acura NSX.
The SF90’s standard power retractable hardtop allows a seamless transition from an open car, to a completely sealed coupe. The NSX doesn’t offer a retractable hardtop.
Ergonomics
When three different drivers share the SF90, the memory seats make it convenient for all three. Each setting activates different, customized memories for the driver’s seat position. The NSX doesn’t offer memory seats.
The SF90’s instruments include an oil pressure gauge and a temperature gauge - which could save your engine! Often ‘idiot lights’ don’t warn you until damage has been done. The NSX does not have an oil pressure gauge.
The SF90 has a standard heads-up display that projects speed in front of the driver’s line of sight, allowing drivers to view information without diverting their eyes from the road. The NSX doesn’t offer a heads-up display.
To help drivers see further while navigating curves, the SF90 has standard adaptive headlights to illuminate around corners automatically by reading vehicle speed and steering wheel angle. The NSX doesn’t offer cornering lights.
Model Availability
The Ferrari SF90 comes in coupe and convertible bodystyles; the Acura NSX isn’t available as a convertible.
