Model overview
Model description
Every so often a car manufacturer builds a car so out of its normal range that the whole automotive world stops to stare at it. Such was the case with the Acura NSX.
Development began as early as 1984, and when Honda debuted the car as an Acura model for America in 1990, the automotive press raved. The company had come up with a winner, and in many comparison tests, it regularly trounced its Porsche 911, Chevy Corvette, and Ferrari 348 competition.
The Acura NSX was a sophisticated car in many regards, and technology developed in Honda's Formula One program trickled into the car. Its aluminum 3.0-liter V6 produced 270 hp and featured dual overhead cams and variable valve timing. The unit was mounted transversely midship, and balance was impeccable—even on the limit. The car was the first to utilize an all-aluminum monocoque body, and it also featured an aluminum suspension, all of which kept weight down. Much of the development input came thanks to Honda's ace F1 driver, Ayrton Senna.
The NSX became Honda's flagship over night, as well as the most expensive Japanese car in America. But it was still a Honda, which meant reliability had been built in: It was happy to rev at 8,000 rpm all day and then do it again, without much incident.
The car came standard with a 5-speed manual, though a 4-speed auto was offered shortly after introduction. Horsepower in those models dipped to 252 hp. Traction control, ABS, driver's airbag, leather, and power everything rounded out the package.
The NSX saw little in the way of changes between its introduction and its first significant upgrade in 1997. In 1995, the car was offered as the NSX-T—a Targa with two removable roof panels, and a "drive-by-wire" throttle system also debuted.
Despite high production numbers, the Acura NSX is exceedingly competent, good-looking, and daily-driver reliable, and they have gained the respect of enthusiasts over the years. They also serve to remind us that every so often, even staid carmakers from Japan can turn it up to 11.

Many factors can increase a car's value including excellent condition, exceptional originality, a recent restoration, low mileage, unique provenance, desirable options, popular or unique color choices, and excellent maintenance records. Upgrades and modifications that enhance performance or aesthetics can also add value.
Factors that can decrease a car's value include unusually high mileage, poor maintenance history, visible wear and tear, accidents or damage, title issues, and gaps in ownership history. Additionally, less popular color choices and extensive modifications that don't appeal to a broad audience can reduce value.
Mileage plays a significant role in a classic car’s value. Lower mileage usually increases value because it indicates a higher degree of originality, is rarer, and suggests less wear and tear. However, cars with exceptionally low mileage may also have maintenance needs due to lack of use. Whether someone should pay more for a vehicle with lower miles will depend on how they plan on using it, and the vehicle's specific condition.
The value of modified cars differs widely based on the type and quality of modifications. While some modifications can significantly increase value, especially performance enhancements and high-quality custom work, others may not add much or could even detract from the car’s value if they appeal to only a limited audience.
