TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2021 Acura NSX still has us smitten with its riveting looks, performance, and quality.

The 2021 Porsche 911 bristles with pavement-conquering confidence, and brims with tech and luxe touches.

TCC Likes

Gorgeous looks
Excellent performer
Technological powerhouse

A sports car icon
Performance perfection
Near infinite customization

TCC Dislikes

Where's the hybrid gas mileage?
Not quite as emotional as the Italian competition
Supercar cachet isn't there

Get a second mortgage if you want to buy a Turbo
Manual transmission isn’t offered on base car
Back seat or penalty box? Hard to tell
