1991 Honda NSX

The Honda NSX was produced between 1990 and 2005 and is equipped with a mid-engined, rear-wheel drive layout powered by an all-aluminium V6 featuring Honda's Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC) system. In 1984, Honda commissioned the Italian car designer Pininfarina to design the HPX (Honda Pininfarina Experimental), which had a mid-mounted 2.0 litre, V6 configuration. Following Honda's decision to pursue the project, the management informed the engineers that the new car would have to be as good as anything coming from both Italy and Germany. The HPX concept car evolved into the NSX (New Sportscar experimental). The original performance target for the NSX was the Ferrari 328; subsequently revised to the 348 as the design neared completion. The bodywork design had been specifically researched after studying the 360° visibility inside an F-16 fighter jet. The car's strong chassis, rigidity and handling capabilities were the results of Ayrton Senna's input with NSX's chief engineers while testing the prototype car at Honda's Suzuka Circuit during the development stages. Today, the NSX is still considered by owners of the marque as one of the most reliable exotic cars ever manufactured with many examples comfortably exceeding 100,000 miles without serious reliability issues.

This stunning, low mileage and low owner first generation example of the legendary Honda NSX is presented in Sebring Silver metallic with a black leather interior and boasts just three former keepers according to the HPI register. First registered on 21st January, amazingly the NSX is 32 years old but the driving experience is as impressive as it was in 1991. This is a UK supplied automatic example which still boasts two sets of keys. This NSX is accompanied by a comprehensive service history with main dealer and specialists and documents associated. An exceptional Honda NSX which is an ideal acquisition for the discerning collector and one of the best drives of the modern era, viewing is highly recommended. The registration 8 NSX is included in the sale of this vehicle.
