Reminiscing about my first Lamborghini Countach experience on 50th anniversary of the iconic supercar

Porsche 718 Cayman vs Honda NSX

Second episode in my Brand New Vs Classic Cool series

You could buy a brand new Porsche 718 Cayman today for around £45,000, but you shouldn’t. Instead, how about a classic cool alternative? The… original Honda NSX from the 1990s.
