I do know I do know, the wait has been killing you. From the second the Honda Motocompacto electrical scooter/suitcase was launched, you’ve got desperately been begging the universe to reply the next query: “Will the Honda Motocompacto match within the trunk of a 1991 Acura NSX?”
Imagine me, the suspense was killing me, too. Effectively, relaxation assured, your reply is lastly right here.
I stumbled upon outdated good friend Tyson Hugie and his predictably pristine 1991 Acura NSX at Radwood Socal two weekends in the past. Whereas chatting about my/his outdated Acura TSX discovering a brand new house with a collector in North Carolina, a gentleman on a Honda Motocompacto whizzed by and at last pulled as much as a cease among the many small group of individuals gathered across the NSX and an Integra Kind R. We initially thought it had been introduced by the Honda PR rep who was attending Radwood (he did in truth have one in his trunk, an Acura 2.3 CL), nevertheless it really belonged to the particular person driving it.
Patrick Vidal had solely simply acquired his Motocompacto the earlier Monday, however had already put it to work as his last-mile transport. He says it matches behind his seat in his Toyota MR2 Spyder, as if this story could not get extra rad. As I stood there with Tyson and Patrick chatting about life with Honda’s newest creation, I began staring on the again finish of Honda’s most interesting creation. Then I regarded again on the Motocompacto … and again once more on the NSX.
“Um, do you suppose that would slot in the NSX’s trunk?” I requested, turning to Tyson.
“Oh, that is taking place,” he shortly replied.
We requested Patrick if he’d be sport, and no shocker, he was. Tyson cleared out the trunk and Patrick began the method of remodeling the Motocompacto from a scooter into baggage.
The transformation is actually not a seamless course of. There’s a lot of steps, and Patrick mentioned that he is nonetheless getting the grasp of remembering all of the bits and items. Once more, although, he’d solely had the factor for 5 days.
Initially, I doubted the Motocompacto would match, however because it acquired smaller and NSX trunk acquired emptier, I acquired much more assured.
“OK, let’s do that,” mentioned Mr. Baggage Take a look at, rubbing his fingers collectively.
Formally, the 1991 Acura NSX was listed as having 5 cubic-feet of trunk quantity. That is really the identical as my 1998 BMW Z3’s trunk, however if you’re speaking about such a small quantity, the form of the area actually issues and on this case, the NSX trunk is principally a giant rectangular cavity with a protrusion from the engine bay.
OK, let’s get to the luggage. I imply Motocompacto. As with each Motocompacto Baggage Take a look at I do, I used one Honda Motocompacto (29.2 inches lengthy by 21.1 inches tall by 3.7 inches large).
I actually haven’t got something to say about this image. It is actually simply an motion shot, however um, I suppose the NSX has a reasonably excessive liftover peak.
TA-DA!
A Honda Motocompacto does in truth match within the trunk of a 1991 Acura NSX. Fairly positive there’d even be room for a elaborate bag.
Now, if solely there’d been an S2000 someplace …
