No cars are "hand made" anymore. However the NSX is assembled more slowly than say a Civic and there are fewer automated processes for this low production sports car. The engines are carefully assembled by a few technicians.

also I'm not sure if this applies to Acura NSX but Honda also drive test the car on their track "Motegi" in japan for all Honda NSX. And yes they are more cared for than a ferrari. Thats one of the reasons for the 98,000+markups, price tag.

bentley, mclarren, nsx, lamborgini all "hand made" which just means there assembled by a human being rather then by a robot line.
