Seller Description

The Acura NSX was developed as Honda's ambitious foray into the high-performance market, debuting in 1990. This groundbreaking vehicle was conceptualized to provide a potent combination of performance and reliability, challenging European dominance in the sports car segment. The development of the NSX was a technological marvel and leveraged Honda's extensive experience in Formula 1 racing. Key innovations included an all-aluminum monocoque body, a first for a production car, which significantly reduced weight while enhancing strength. The design team, led by Chief Designer Masahito Nakano and Executive Chief Engineer Shigeru Uehara, emphasized the importance of driver experience, focusing on superior handling, agility, and a user-friendly nature not commonly found in high-performance sports cars of the era. The NSX also set new standards for build quality and practicality, making it a unique proposition in its class.

The 1993 model signified Honda's continued interest in developing the car. It was powered by a 3.0-liter V6 engine equipped with innovative VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control), producing 270 horsepower and 210 lb-ft of torque. This engine was mated to a five-speed manual transmission, offering exhilarating performance and a top speed nearing 168 mph. The 1993 NSX's handling was enhanced by its lightweight construction and mid-engine layout, which provided exceptional balance and a low center of gravity. Inspired by Formula 1 technology, its suspension featured aluminum double-wishbone components for precise handling. Aesthetically, the 1993 NSX featured a sleek, aerodynamic design with pop-up headlights and a low, wide stance, embodying the essence of a classic sports car. The interior was designed with a focus on ergonomics, offering a comfortable and engaging driving experience uncommon in high-performance vehicles of the time. This model defined a new benchmark in sports car strata, influencing the design and engineering of future high-performance automobiles.

This 1993 Acura NSX has been modified with many desirable upgrades that enhance the car's performance. According to the seller, the vehicle features a wide range of modifications to the drivetrain, exhaust, suspension, body, and more. A Honda NA-1 NSX-R 5-speed Short Gear Set, Exedy Twin Organic Clutch, Science of Speed Extended Thread Gear Stalk, and Cedar Ridge Short Shift Kit increase responsiveness. The Comptech Exhaust and DC Sport Headers provide a satisfying note, and the Dali 1" Front Track Sway Bar, Cedar Ridge suspension hardware, and staggered-diameter Titan 7 T-S5 Forged Wheels keep the car on track. Outside, a 2002 Acura NSX Rear Valance, Dali 02+ Trunk Lip Spoiler, Downforce Carbon Fiber NSX-R Spoiler, and Gruppe M Carbon Fiber Side Vents make the car's performance nature known. Interior updates include Science of Speed Instrument Cluster Rings and a Type S Shift Knob. For a complete list of modifications, please see the items below in addition to included documents and invoices in the "Extras" gallery. The sale will also include a collection of removed parts, detailed below. With just over 47k miles on the odometer, most modifications have been performed within the last few thousand miles.
