Crown Honda celebrates NSX win at International Engine of the Year Awards

Crown Honda is celebrating the Honda NSX being named Best New Engine at the 2017 International Engine of the Year Awards.

The Hendon-based car dealer is one of only two dealers in the UK to offer the hybrid vehicle to its customers. The 3.5-litre gasoline-electric V6 hybrid powertrain was chosen by a panel of experts from around the world. Engines were judged on characteristics including performance, noise, driveability, fuel economy and smoothness.

The overarching aim of the Honda NSX powertrain development programme was to create the most advanced high performance power unit in the world. Honda set out to produce an engine with the best possible performance, but which was also easy to enjoy and control.

One of the most significant challenges in the development programme was the integration of electric drive elements to create a truly high-performance hybrid vehicle. The result is an engine with instantaneous torque response, where the electric motors are used to enhance every element of the car’s dynamic capabilities.

Lee Monahan, Crown Honda company director, commented: “We’re thrilled that the NSX has received this award. It’s a great honour to be one of only two dealers that offer the NSX in the UK. The car emphasises Honda’s commitment to providing a new sports experience and perfectly blends form and function. At Crown Honda, we have NSX specialists and technicians on-hand who have received bespoke training on the supercar. We welcome anyone to visit the showroom and view the NSX for themselves. You won’t be disappointed.”

The International Engine of the Year Awards are now in their 19th year and are judged by a panel of experts from around the world.

Crown Motors Bushey Heath (Distributors) Limited is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Crown Motors Bushey Heath (Distributors) Limited to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
