What’s new for the 2018 Acura NSX?

Not much has changed on the 2018 NSX outside of fuel economy, which has increased very slightly for city driving. Although some would have liked to see Acura add driver-assistive safety features like blind spot monitoring or cross-traffic alert, the supercar is still lacking in that department.
