ASCC = NSX TOURING CONCEPT
The ASCC (Advanced sports car concept) WAS FEATURED AT THE NAIAS FOR ACURA. MUCH OF ACURA'S DESIGN LANGUAGE WAS DERIVED FROM THIS CONCEPT'S JUXTAPOSED SURFACING called ‘KEEN-EDGE’. THERE IS AN UNDULATION BETWEEN TRADITIONAL SOFT/MUSCULAR SURFACES AND MORE MODERN MAchined/SHEAR SWATHS. THE INTERPLAY CREATES AN EXCITING NEW SURFACE LANGUAGE IN THE AUTOMOBILE SPACE. PAINTING THE CAR IN A MATTE METALLIC SILVER WAS RISKY, BUT HELPED HIGHLIGHT THE CONCEPT OF ‘KEEN-EDGE’
