NSX [Official] Acura NSX (NC1)

[Centurion]

I understand that it still is lower priced then Ferrari's and Lambo's. But once you get into that $200K range, it's not the discriminator. And most that buy the exotic italian's are more interested in status, appearance and that wonderful engine note. This NSX will not sell well at that number in the states, my opinion. I would buy a 911 or R8 over it in a heartbeat.

The R8 you mentioned was in the same position as the NSX is now when it launched. Why would anyone want to spend top dollars for an R8 V10 when a 911TT or Gallardo isn't far off? People still did because they value having something different and less common and that's exactly what the NSX is.

I think the waiting lists for the NSX are already full. It's already a blockbuster.

@CENTURIAN

How many wait listed? Limited numbers?

In the states the 458 and huracan start at around $240K or so, and good luck trying to find one available. A 911 turbo starts at $151,000 and the R8 V10 (cousin of lambo) will start at approximately $170K. A $200K Honda just doesn't make sense to me. If it were in the $125K to $150K range, maybe.

But time will tell.

2017 Acura NSX [HASHTAG]#001[/HASHTAG] sells for $1.2 million



The 2017 Acura NSX with VIN [HASHTAG]#001[/HASHTAG] has managed to fetch no less than $1.2 million at an auction organized by Barrett-Jackson last night.

While this may seem over the top for a model that normally costs $156,000, it was all for charity as the money will be directed towards the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation and Camp Southern Ground.

The very first production-ready Acura NSX was bought by NASCAR team owner Rick Hendrick who previously bought the first 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 Coupe ($1 million), first 2014 Corvette ($1.1 million), first 2012 Camaro ZL1 ($250,000), and the last BMW M5 “30 Jahre” ($700,000). Just like with the 2017 NSX, all the money from previous sales went to various charities.

The most expensive 2017 Acura NSX money can buy will set you back $205,700 in the highest trim available and with all the optional equipment added. For this hefty sum you will be getting all the bells and whistles, including a carbon fiber roof, carbon ceramic brakes, and a carbon fiber interior sports package.

With a combined output of 573 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, the hybrid supercar does the sprint to 60 miles per hour (96 kilometers per hour) in around three seconds and tops out at 191 mph (307 kph).

Acura will put together the second-generation NSX at its Performance Manufacturing Center in Marysville, Ohio.

Acura NSX configurator goes online and reveals some costly options

The online configurator for the 2017 Acura NSX has just been launched, some 13 months after the car was revealed at the start of last year.

In the U.S., the hybrid's price starts at $156,000 but when fully optioned, that price can rise to the $220,000 mark. Some of the priciest options include a premium blue paint finish that costs $6,000, a carbon fiber engine cover priced at a cool $3,600 and a hand-tuffed floor mat and trunk mat costing $1,200.

For those track day enthusiasts with a budget, the carbon ceramic brake package could be the way to go, setting you back some $10,600 when finished with silver brake calipers. A further $9,000 can then get you the carbon fiber exterior sport package.

As with the very best configurators, the one for the new NSX is very comprehensive and allows you to choose between different paint finishes, a number of distinct interior color combinations, four custom wheel options and even lets you choose between different audio systems.

Be sure to play around with the configurator here:

Might be a good car, but it lost all that was so cool on the original NSX

Acura NSX replaces Viper as most expensive car built in the U.S.

The 2017 Acura NSX is about to become the most expensive car manufactured in the United States.

Set to enter production late April, the second-generation $156,000 NSX will be “right there at the top” in terms of the priciest cars Made in USA, according to Kelly Blue Book managing director Matt DeLorenzo. Assembly will take place at the company’s Performance Manufacturing Center located in Marysville, Ohio and once production will commence, the NSX will overshadow the current most expensive US-built car, the Dodge Viper.

It will remain the most expensive car built in United States even when Ford will kick off production of the $400,000+ GT. That’s because the new supercar will actually be built in Canada by Ford supplier Multimatic Inc, unlike its predecessor which came to life in Detroit.

Acura opened the order books last month and the plan is to make 800 units in 2016, with deliveries in United States kicking off shortly after production commences while Europeans will wait until this fall. A range-topping NSX fitted with all the available optional equipment hits the $200,000 mark, ending at $205,700.

In the years to come, the model is expected to spawn a convertible version which will obviously be even more expensive. In addition, a hardcore Type R is being considered by Acura and if made, that one will sit on top of the range, with a price to match its status.

Something about the body design doesn't seem as original as the first generation.

RWD Acura NSX GT3 breaks cover ahead 2017 race debut


The second-generation Acura NSX has landed in New York in GT3 specification, prior to its racing debut slated for next year.

Based on the road-going 2017 NSX, the GT3 version features a considerably more aggressive body with a massive rear wing and an underbody diffuser. It also boasts larger hood vents to cool down the biturbo 3.5-liter V6 sourced from the regular model. Acura says the engine will have the same design and specifications, but in the GT3 car it will be linked to a six-speed sequential-shift gearbox, thus replacing the nine-speed automatic transmission.

While the regular NSX has an all-wheel drive system, its racing derivative will come with a RWD layout and without the electrical assistance. Such a setup could be offered on a hardcore NSX Type R set to arrive in the years to come, but it’s too early to say whether it will actually happen.

Getting back to the race car at hand, the NSX GT3 is currently undergoing development, testing, and final homologation to comply with the FIA GT3 global racing specifications. Honda Performance Development is in charge of getting the car ready for racing and it is estimated the NSX GT3 will receive the necessary homologation this fall, with the racing debut slated for the 2017 season.

Imagine If The New Acura NSX More Closely Mirrored The Original's Design

With over a quarter-century separating their debuts and following a gap in production of over a decade, the second iteration of the Acura NSX was never going to follow very closely along the lines of the first's design. But what if it did?
Peisert Design. Instead of the curved blade of an intake at the trailing end of the greenhouse, extending down below the beltline and into the door panel, Peisert virtually reskinned the rear end of the new NSX to more closely resemble the original's.

The rear wing, squared-off tail, and side intake are all more typical of the Nineties in which the first NSX was born. The front end, incongruously, was left just as Honda designed it, with all its sharp angles and visual aggression. Does it look better? That would be a matter of taste, but our eyes favor how the second-gen NSX looks the way it's being produced.

Though Honda was planning to replace the original NSX with a front-engined design packing a V8 or V10, it ultimately stuck to a similar formula, with a V6 displacing three-some-odd liters mounted amidships behind the cockpit. Only the new one boasts an all-wheel-drive hybrid powertrain to produce roughly twice as much power as the original, and with nine speeds (and two clutches) where its progenitor offered four, five, or six. That's progress for you, and design moves along with it.
