'Tonight, I get dangerous...'
今晚 我遇到了危险
Not really dangerous but, you know, dangerous enough.
并不是真的危险 但不能算安全
'.. Sabine tastes the local brew...'
萨宾品尝了本地特酿
'. and Matt gets a bit too into...'
而且马特在最近一次试车的时候

Hi, welcome to Top Gear. So...
大家好 欢迎收看Top Gear
Do you remember what happened when Honda asked Ayrton Senna
大家还记得本♥田♥找埃尔顿·塞纳
to help them develop a sports car?
帮他们改进跑车后发生了什么吗
They came up with this -- the iconic NSX,
然后传奇的NSX就诞生了
the underdog that went head-to-head against the big dogs from Italy.
一个敢于挑战意大利巨头的无名小卒
Indeed it did, so having pulled that off once, they thought,
说的没错 在NSX大获成功之后 他们便想
"What the heck? Let's have another go."
管它呢 我们再来一次吧
Honda was always a pioneering car company.
本♥田♥一直是个像先驱者一般的汽车品牌
It took risks, pushed boundaries.
它无畏艰险 敢于挑战极限
In the 1960s it became the first Japanese team
在20世纪60年代 它成为了第一支
to enter, and win, in Formula 1.
进入F1并且取胜的日本车队
By the late '80s, their engines dominated the sport.
在80年代末期 他们的引擎主宰了这项赛事
Then there was the revolutionary all-aluminium NSX.
然后便是革命性的拥有全铝车身的NSX
Developed by Ayrton Senna himself,
由埃尔顿·塞纳亲自参与研发
it took the fight to the likes of Ferrari.
将法拉利等视为自己的对手
Speed became practical.
速度变得更实用
Reliable.
也更可靠
If you wanted it fast and brilliantly engineered,
如果你想要一台卓越的速度机器
you went to Honda.
找本♥田♥就对了
But then, after the turn of the millennium,
然而 进入新世纪之后
it all started to go a bit wobbly.
一切都发生了变化
Honda's faster, more stimulating cars
本♥田♥那些令人血脉喷张的高速跑车
were replaced by a beige parade
变成了这种你奶奶才会喜欢的
of stuff your gran would drive.
无聊的家用车
Like this one.
就像这辆
Truth is, we've not seen a proper Honda sports car in a decade.
事实上 我们已经有十年没见到正经的本♥田♥跑车了
Now, though, Honda has a new revolution...
而现在 本♥田♥发布了一款新车
with a familiar name.
有着一个熟悉的名字
The new NSX is here.
新NSX正式回归
Here, but not especially Japanese.
但它却并没有太多日本元素
In fact, this new NSX was designed and built in America.
事实上新NSX是在美国设计制♥造♥的
Which is why I've come stateside
因此我前往美国
to test the first one.
试驾第一辆NSX
And why it's wearing this funny badge.
它为何会镶着这块奇怪的车标呢
In America, posh Hondas are called Acuras.
在美国 豪华的本♥田♥被称作讴歌♥
When this comes to the UK, it will be called a Honda -- do not worry.
但是别担心 到了英国它就又叫本♥田♥了
So now that's cleared up, what exactly are we looking at?
说了这么多 我们面前的到底是一辆什么车呢
Behind my head there's a 3.5-litre V6 turbo petrol engine,
在我脑后的是一台3.5升V6涡轮增压汽油引擎
driving the rear wheels through a nine-speed gearbox.
通过九速变速箱驱动后轮
And that's not all.
这还没完
There's a battery under here that provides electricity
在这下面有一块电池 向后面的一个电机
to one motor at the back and two more at the front.
以及前面的两个电机提供能量
So it's a four-wheel-drive hybrid powered by... four motors.
所以这是一辆有四个引擎的四轮驱动混动车
If that isn't complicated enough,
如果你觉得这还不够复杂
the brakes aren't actually connected to anything.
它的刹车实际上没有连着任何东西
Much like the youth of today, they only communicate virtually.
和现在的年轻人一样 它们之间的联♥系♥是虚拟的
Basically, the NSX brakes by Snapchatting
所以NSX基本上是通过微信刹车
and it does its steering via Instagram -- or something.
然后通过那个叫微博什么的转向
Doesn't sound promising.
听起来有点不靠谱
So...
所以说
.. have they gone and made a mess of it?
他们这次是不是搞砸了
60 -- under three seconds!
0-100加速不足3秒
100 -- three seconds later.
再过3秒时速就能达到160
120, 130, 140.
193 209 225
150!
Combined, that V6 and those electric motors
一台V6发动机和三台电动机加在一起
provide 573 horsepower.
可以提供573匹马力
That's not sports-car power,
这已经不是普通跑车的实力了
that's supercar power.
而是超级跑车
Top speed is supercar speed as well --
它的极速也符合超跑定义
191mph!
每小时307公里
The technology may be complicated but the effect is brutally simple.
它的技术也许很复杂 但结果却简单粗暴
That is fast. Really fast.
那就是快 相当快
But the best part of this hybrid set-up?
但这辆混动车最棒的一点在于
It doesn't feel disjointed and digital.
它开起来并没有杂乱无章或者数字化的感觉
The brakes maybe e-brakes and the steering may be e-steering,
即便它的制动和转向都是电子的
but it gives you a real sense of what's going on.
但给你的反馈感觉却很真实
Obviously you can't skid it about like a Ferrari 488,
显然你不能指望它像法拉利488一样甩
cos those electric motors are always trying to drag it straight.
因为这些电动机一直在试图让你走直线
But you can skid it about.
但你还可以用它漂起来
Oh, yes, you can!
简直轻而易举
Wow, it's way more fun than I thought possible
对于一辆如此复杂的车来说
for something that was so complicated.
它带来的乐趣真是超乎想象
Look at that!
你看
So, Honda's new NSX really does have genuine supercar credentials.
所以说本♥田♥的新NSX确实拥有超级跑车资格认证
But before you go and trade in the Lambo,
但在你打算把兰博基尼卖♥♥掉之前
there are one or two things to point out...
我还是要说几条它的缺点
like the interior.
比如它的内饰
OK, they've made a great effort, but it's still recognisably Honda.
我知道他们已经很努力了 但还是一眼能看出是本♥田♥
If I'm being a real nit-picker,
如果一定要吹毛求疵的话
I don't like the way these paddles move. They feel a bit cheap.
我不喜欢这个换挡拨片的手感 感觉有些廉价
It should feel like turning the bezel on an expensive watch --
它的手感应该像是转动高档手表的表框
and it doesn't, it just feels like you're pulling a plastic paddle
但实际上的感觉就像是在拨动
on a 40-quid gaming steering wheel.
40块钱游戏方向盘上面的塑料拨片
And as for the styling --
至于它的外观嘛
well, it does look a bit like an R8 and a Maclaren have face-swapped.
看上去有点像R8和迈凯伦互相换了个脸
But I think it's stunning.
但我还觉得挺帅的
Here's the thing, though -- the NSX feels like it's been engineered,
是这样 NSX让你感觉是被一群
been calibrated by people who care about driving.
重视驾驶感受的技术宅设计并调校的
And that's what Honda was always about.
这也是本♥田♥的一贯风格
Some people, they're going to make the mistake
有些人会错误的认为
of saying it's characterless --
这台车缺乏个性
but, do you know what, they're wrong.
但你知道吗 他们说错了
I think it's dripping with character.
我觉得这台车充满了个性
There's nothing else quite like it.
没有任何一辆车像它一样
It's awesome. Really special.
很棒的车 非常特别
Special, however, does mean expensive.
特别并不等于价格高
The new NSX is £130,000.
新NSX的售价为13万英镑
But don't think of it as an expensive Honda,
但不要把它看做是一辆昂贵的本♥田♥
think of it as a cut-price Porsche 918 Hypercar --
就当做是一辆打了折的保时捷918
because that's what it is.
它也确实如此
OK, so it isn't as brain-poachingly fast as the Porsche.
我承认 它并不像保时捷那样快得离谱
It is, however, the same technology,
但它俩都采用了相同的技术
and the same trick of using that technology
而且同样用这些技术改变了
to warp your sense of what's possible in a fast car.
你对超跑性能极限的理解
It's a machine that's greater than the sum of its parts.
作为一台车 它的意义要高于那些零件
The NSX is a pioneering supercar...
NSX是超级跑车中的先驱者
.. its creators once again pushing boundaries.
它的设计者们又一次挑战了极限
If you want it fast and brilliantly engineered...
如果你想要一台快速且卓越的性能机器
at last, you can go back to Honda.
最终 你可以回归本♥田♥的怀抱
And here it is, the brand-new Honda NSX,
各位 摆在这里的就是全新的本♥田♥NSX
reimagined -- how very dare they?
让这台车回归需要很大的勇气
Have they pulled it off?
他们完成任务了吗
Absolutely. It's been a long, long wait, but totally worth it.
当然 等待的时间很漫长 但绝对值得
So, in your opinion is it better than the old NSX?
所以你觉得它比老款NSX要好吗
It's sacrilege to say it,
这么说可能有些不敬
but I wasn't a fan of the way the original NSX drove.
但我并不太喜欢老款NSX的风格
I ought to duck before people throw rotten fruit at me.
但在有人向我扔烂番茄之前
So, yeah, in my opinion, that's a better, more interesting car.
我觉得没错 在我看来新款更好 很有趣的一辆车
Yeah, but this is a super-technological,
好吧 但这是一辆充满高科技
super-complicated car
以及各种辅助系统
with all kinds of systems on it.
非常复杂的一辆车
Does that take away from the actual driving experience?
这么做是否会夺走真实的驾驶感觉
No, that's the genius of this car, it takes the technology
