Acura has revealed its Acura NSX sports car’s pricing for the United States. Starting from an MSRP USD$156,000 (RM671,350), the NSX’s price is said to top-out at USD$205,700 (RM885,240) when loaded with all available factory features and options.
Comparatively, this makes the Acura NSX one of the most expensive sports cars of its class in the US. Base MSRP prices for its key competitors are USD$120k (RM516k) for the Audi R8 Coupe, USD$140k (RM602k) for the BMW i8, and USD$RM151k (RM650k) for the Porsche 911 Turbo. Conversely, the NSX’s price falls under the USD$240k Ferrari 488 and Lamborghini Huracan.
Honda’s premium arm in the US also confirmed that its first-ever production NSX, bearing the Vehicle Indentification Number (VIN) 001, will be auctioned off at the Barrett-Jackson collector car auction in Scottsdale, Arizona. The auction will be held on the last week of January 2016.

Generously, Acura will be handing all proceeds from the auction to two children’s charities – the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation and Camp Southern Ground, the passion project of Grammy Award-winning artist Zac Brown.
The Acura NSX will be ready for customer orders come February 2016. Using a special vehicle configurator online at Acura.com, up to eight exterior colours, four interior colours and three seat upholstery options will be available. Customers will also be able to specify several exterior and interior features including three alloy wheel designs, carbon-ceramic brakes, a carbon-fibre interior sports package, a carbon-fibre roof and more.
Jon Ikeda, vice president and general manager of the Acura Division said, “the NSX is the pinnacle expression of Acura precision crafted performance and we’re thrilled to take the next step toward bringing it to market. We’re creating a new space within the supercar realm, pushing the envelope beyond the conventional thinking about supercars – just like the original NSX.”

Speaking with regard to the VIN 001 NSX that will be auctioned off for charity, Ikeda said, “the very first production NSX will be such a special and historic vehicle, so we wanted to make sure we treat the sale of it in an equally special way. It will be available for purchase by anyone – anyone that is, who submits the highest bid for VIN number 001 at the world famous Barrett-Jackson auction.”
The hybrid all-wheel drive Acura NSX sports car is powered by a complex Sport Hybrid Power Unit powertrain. The rear axle is driven by a 500 hp/550 Nm 3.5 litre DOHC twin-turbo V6 petrol engine and a 47 hp/148 Nm Direct Drive Motor. Two more motors exclusively power the front axle. The front-mounted Twin Motor Unit (TMU) puts out 72 hp (36 hp at each wheel) and 146 Nm. Collectively, the NSX has a total system output of 573 hp and 645 Nm.

Alamak. My 0.01% hope of owning this car just went to 0.00001.
I wonder the price justify itself or not.
thanks, i’ll take the GT-R..
I wonder if Jay Leno and Jerry Seinfeld would be at the auction?
Don’t think so. Ayrton Senna baptized the original NSX but unfortunately not this one. If Senna is still alive he’ll loath the new one.
something tells me this car is going to be a mess, after being postpones then completely redesigned after being cancelled and revived again.
Honestly speaking the design of the car; both interior and exterior, looks a bit dated to be launched as a new car
The dashboard looks cheap like Honda Jazz.
The price is quite ok imo. Two of its most direct competitors are the R8 and 911 turbo. The R8 uses a V10 but its power figure hasn’t changed much, and it’s still a product of a luxury carmaker(without the pure racing blood)although being really nice. The 911 is a beast but it’s aging. BMW i8 isn’t in the same league, it has got only 400+ horsepower. For me, I think the NSX needs to justify whether it’s that much more expensive than its Japanese cousin, the might GTR.
just bcause audi never been in f1, doesnt mean they dont have pure racing blood. audi consistently compete in touring car and le mans every years. in fact that’s the sign of engine reliability..plus dont forget audi quattro rally car.
not saying this nsx is not good..but pls remember the previous nsx rarely capture the market bcause of its pricing and slow production at that time (feel free to read about it).
Classic case of april’s fool coming too early…
Spec and the looks is just so so for me…. It is definitely overpriced
wow overpriced even in the US…i rather get a 911
And Corvette is even cheaper. DOA (Dead On Arrival) for NSX guaranteed with that price.
Errr, thanks but no thanks. Corvette Z06 with the top-of-the-range 3LZ trim & Z07 performance package & a-lot-of kits & equipments is even cheaper, under $90k. If only our country is LHD-tolerant like UK & Japan.

Oops, unfinished sentence.
*if our country is LHD-tolerant like Japan or UK.
