I always hear about the chassis on the NSX, all aluminum etc...does anyone have a picture of it bare? Maybe a restoration with it fully exposed? Or drawings etc?

Thanks
 
Pure Art.

Enzo once took pictures of the NSX chassis on display at the Geneva International Automobile Museum, but the link is no longer working.

However, I had a copy in my stash and uploaded them...

... the first Coke can designed on a Cray supercomputer!

Using a Cray supercomputer, the engineers performed millions of Finite Element Modeling (FEM) and stress analysis calculations. The result of this research and development effort is a unit body structure that weighs approximately 462 lb (210 kg) with doors, hood and deck lids installed - about 40 percent less than a steel unit, but with the same rigidity and impact protection. The NSX structure is significantly stiffer than most of its competitors.
