    Worked with

    At an izakaya in Utsunomiya

    The first thing Klaus did after being appointed development lead of the second-generation NSX was to visit Shigeru Uehara, development lead of the first generation. In March, at an izakaya in Utsunomiya, he asked about the NSX over sashimi and grilled fish. Uehara said that with the first generation, the first thing he had considered was seating people properly and giving them a posture that lets driver and car become one. So with the second generation, the driving position and the view of the road were decided first.
