Honda UK starts taking pre-orders for NSX supercar

Honda_NSX_Concept_01

The much talked-about new Honda NSX is still two full years away and we haven’t even seen the real thing yet (that’s the concept up there), let alone know its final prices when it hits showrooms in 2015. All these inconsequential issues didn’t stop over 20 British customers from placing deposits on the new car though.

With this unprecedented demand, Honda UK has opened a pre-order bank for the hotly anticipated supercar. The price to put your name on the list of future NSX owners? A meagre £5,000 deposit at any Honda UK dealership. Do it fast enough, and you’ll be among the first in the Kingdom to get behind the wheel of the NSX with its SH-AWD and VTEC V6 engine.

This isn’t a new practice for Honda UK regarding the NSX, as it has done the same with the original Honda supercar too. Back then, 25 pre-orders were taken a year ahead of launch in 1990. Unfortunately, that wasn’t a precursor for sales success as out of the 18,000 units sold globally, only 290 NSXs were sold in the UK within its 15-year lifespan.

Still, things are looking great for the Honda NSX in the UK, with many early admirers already putting money where their mouths are. Now if only we can know how many of them are genuine buyers and not market speculators hoping for early mark-ups.

      Don’t worry Malaysian wannabes, Honda Malaysia will bring this in and sell it for RM6 million. Or they will CKD it and sell it for RM5.9 million (remember Jazz Hybrid?)

        I don’t know how much it would be but I don’t think it would be even 1 million. Even though it might be using a 3.4L V8 Engine If the tax incentives are extended until the time when this is released few years later it might even enjoy it like the BMW Hybrids now as exceptions. That would make it cheaper than Nissan GTR ??!!! Honda will finally come on top again with this new NSX, a Super Hybrid Sports Car……!!

        Dafaq guys? OMG The point is he’s talking about the Malaysia import duty tax, with a sense of “black” humor.. not the car manufacture to tag this car 6mil… You guys need to release your tension a bit. Cheer up, you don’t have to be so defensive on your favorite car.

    Honda is famous for its SOHC engine, this one gets it too, I guess.

  • Hope it will be a legend like it’s previous Mid NA Engine NSX… expected price could be the region of rm500-600k ? i’m quite sure it will be cheaper than the GTR…

    I reckon it’ll be priced like the Nissan GT-R. But wow, truly a thing of beauty..
