In Honda's factory located in Ohio, workers cheered as the first ever 2017 Acura NSX rolled out of the assembly line on Tuesday, May 24. The highly anticipated and widely loved supercar is expected to help boost the sales of Honda's premium line of cars.

The historical event took place nearly four years after Honda began building the Acura NSX in its Ohio complex. Top Honda executives claim that the car will highlight Honda's commitment to quality and will also show the company's manufacturing expertise.

Honda is expecting the 2017 Acura NSX to once again fuel interest in the company's premium brand, which has arguably been left behind the shadow of its rivals like Toyota's Lexus. NASCAR racing team owner and auto dealer Rick Hendrick was the first to purchase an NSX for $1.2 million. He also believes that the car will be a massive hit, according to Fox Sports.

Hendrick was one of the attendees who witnessed the first Acura NSX car roll out of the Ohio plant.

In a statement acquired by USA Today, Hendrick said, "The most amazing thing that I saw today were the smile on everybody's face when I walked to the plant. You've got something special here. You have a culture - you can't buy culture and you sure can't buy the enthusiasm that you have."

Hendrick, who is also a car collector, made the news when he bid $1.2 million for the first NSX in an auction in January. The proceeds will be donated to charity.

Acura engineers are building the 2017 NSX at the Honda's 206,000-square-foot Performance Manufacturing Center. The plant is a low-volume manufacturing plant which is designed to handle the manufacturing process of Honda's top-performing cars. The plant is also a test-bed for some of Honda's high-tech manufacturing processes.

The plant was formerly a logistics center. Honda spent more than $70 million to transform the center into the top-of-the-line manufacturing plant that it is today.
