Doug's Take

I absolutely love the original Acura NSX, as it boasts an exceptionally well-balanced chassis and a truly wonderful driving experience. This particular example is an early model finished in gorgeous Formula Red. It also touts a desirable 5-speed manual transmission, and it features some great upgrades like a Tubi exhaust system, a JDM Type-R intake manifold cover, and a Willman's Electronics Bluetooth modified stereo. On top of all that, this NSX is offered with some good recent servicing and a clean, accident-free Carfax report, for added buyer assurance.

Highlights

THIS... is a 1991 Acura NSX, finished in Formula Red with a Ivory interior.

• The attached Carfax history report shows no accidents or mileage discrepancies for the given time period.
• Factory equipment includes pop-up headlights, leather upholstery, power-adjustable seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, power-operated windows, mirrors, and locks, an automatic climate control system, and cruise control.
• Modifications reported by the seller include a Tubi exhaust system, JDM Type-R intake manifold cover, a Downforce air intake scoop with a K&N air filter, a Willman's Electronics Bluetooth modified stereo, a Honda S2000 antenna, and more as detailed below.
• Sold as a Honda in global markets, the first-generation Acura NSX made its debut for 1991 as a user-friendly supercar with Ferrari-like performance and Japanese reliability. Aluminum construction kept weight in check, and the NSX stood out as the first production car equipped with titanium connecting rods. Production of the original NSX ended in 2005.
• Power for this NSX comes from a 3.0-liter V6, rated at 270 horsepower and 210 lb-ft of torque in stock form. The modifications likely increase those figures, but a dyno sheet was not provided to confirm. Mid-mounted, the engine spins the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission.
