TCC’s Bottom Line

If you want a supercar that looks the part and drives the part but aren't smitten with the usual suspects in this class, the NSX is your kind of machine.

The 2022 BMW 8-Series boasts beautiful looks, modern luxury, and sporty moves in an expensive package.

TCC Dislikes

Not quite as emotional as the Italian competition

More safety gear should be standard
Very expensive
