The original Acura NSX redefined the supercar landscape by pairing Honda’s legendary reliability and engineering prowess with exotic design, advanced materials, and a chassis tuned in collaboration with F1 champion Ayrton Senna. This example is one of only 277 that were equipped with an optional 4-speed automatic transaxle paired with its 3.0-liter VTEC V6 engine for the model year. It comes finished in Formula Red over an Ivory leather interior and features a contrasting black roof panel, power-adjustable sport seats, automatic climate control, a Bose sound system, a Kenwood Bluetooth head unit, pop-up headlamps, an integrated rear spoiler, and 15”/16” forged wheels. It was purchased by the seller earlier in 2025 and treated to over $10k in service, including a new timing belt, valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, a water pump, and more. A lifelong California car, this first-generation NSX is now being offered for auction with approximately 70k miles showing on the odometer.
The distinctive lightweight aluminum bodywork includes pop-up headlamps, side air intakes, and an integrated rear spoiler. This example is finished in Formula Red with a contrasting black roof panel and windscreen frame. Equipment includes power-adjustable mirrors, a heated glass rear window, polished dual exhaust tips, and staggered-diameter 15”/16” forged five-spoke wheels. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The cabin features Ivory leather upholstery on the power-adjustable sport seats with matching carpets and a contrasting black leather dashboard, door panels, and center console. Accessories include a black leather four-spoke steering wheel, serialized stainless-steel door sill plates, Ivory floor mats, power windows, a digital clock, automatic climate control, cruise control, a Bose sound system, and a Kenwood Bluetooth head unit. Recent maintenance included an inspection of the instrument cluster and replacement of the A/C control unit.
Featuring VTEC variable valve timing and titanium connecting rods, the all-aluminum 3.0-liter V6 engine is rated at 252 HP and 210 lb-ft of torque. The rear wheels are driven through an optional 4-speed automatic transaxle and a limited-slip differential. A July 2025 service invoice totaling over $15k shows the replacement of the timing belt, valve cover gaskets, serpentine belts, spark plugs, cam seals, water pump, VSS sensor, main relay, fluids, filters, and a valve adjustment.
This sale will include owner’s manuals, a spare tire, a toolkit, a car cover, and a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: “Up for auction is my 1991 Acura NSX, a beautifully preserved example that I’ve owned for the past few months. The car is in excellent condition inside and out, with everything functioning exactly as it should. This NSX is especially rare and desirable due to its factory automatic transmission — with only around 3,000 automatic units produced, it’s one of the uncommon variants of the early NSX lineup. A true collectible, well-kept, and ready for its next enthusiast owner.”
