I do know I do know, the wait has been killing you. From the second the Honda Motocompacto electrical scooter/suitcase was launched, you have desperately been begging the universe to reply the next query: “Will the Honda Motocompacto match within the trunk of a 1991 Acura NSX?”
Consider me, the suspense was killing me, too. Properly, relaxation assured, your reply is lastly right here.
I stumbled upon previous pal Tyson Hugie and his predictably pristine 1991 Acura NSX at Radwood Socal two weekends in the past. Whereas chatting about my/his previous Acura TSX discovering a brand new residence with a collector in North Carolina, a gentleman on a Honda Motocompacto whizzed by and eventually pulled as much as a cease among the many small group of individuals gathered across the NSX and an Integra Sort R. We initially thought it had been introduced by the Honda PR rep who was attending Radwood (he did in actual fact have one in his trunk, an Acura 2.3 CL), nevertheless it really belonged to the particular person using it.
Patrick Vidal had solely simply received 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 best creation. Then I seemed 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 rapidly replied.
We requested Patrick if he’d be recreation, and no shocker, he was. Tyson cleared out the trunk and Patrick began the method of reworking the Motocompacto from a scooter into baggage.
The transformation is definitely not a seamless course of. There’s plenty of steps, and Patrick stated that he is nonetheless getting the hold 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 received smaller and NSX trunk received emptier, I received much more assured.
“OK, let’s do that,” stated Mr. Baggage Take a look at, rubbing his arms 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 whenever you’re speaking about such a small quantity, the form of the area actually issues and on this case, the NSX trunk is principally an enormous 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 do not have something to say about this image. It is actually simply an motion shot, however um, I assume the NSX has a reasonably excessive liftover top.
TA-DA!
A Honda Motocompacto does in actual fact 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 …
