The Honda NSX, marketed in North America under the Japanese automaker’s luxury Acura brand carries the distinction of being arguably, the first Japanese supercar. Styled like a fighter jet, and packing a sophisticated Honda engine behind the two seats, the NSX is still the stuff of dreams for many, and while the second-generation NSX is considered a fine hybrid supercar, it’s the first generation that many lust after. It’s a legend across the world, and that’s why we are so excited to present this first-generation 2005 Acura NSX for sale with 104,500 miles on the clock. That mileage alone shows that the NSX is not some fussy garage queen or track recluse, but a car that one can live with and daily drive. Will you be its next owner and driver?
Did you know that a major design inspiration for the NSX was the General Dynamics F-16 fighter, and that Ken Okuyama at Pininfarina played a hand in it as well? That alone should tell you why the first-generation of NSX ran from 1990 to 2005 with a handful of changes throughout its life. One of the major changes that came about, which can be witnessed on this 2005 Acura NSX is the replacement of the earlier cars’ pop-up headlamps with xenon HID units that came about in the 2002 facelift. Other minor adjustments dropped the drag coefficient to a slippery 0.30 as well. With its Silverstone paintwork and Acura forged alloy wheels, you could sit and gaze at this NSX all day. However, sooner or later, you will be drawn to open the driver’s door and when you do, an Onyx leather interior greets you. It’s an affair for two, with electric seats, climate control, cruise control, the original radio cassette sound system, and blue-faced dials that came about with the 2002 refresh, along with the metal ball weighted gear knob.
The 8,000rpm redline on the tachometer tells you that the 3.2L V6 behind the passenger cabin of this 2005 Acura NSX is indeed a true-blue Honda high-revving unit. Known as the C32B, it puts out 290hp at 7,100rpm and 224lb-ft at 5,500rpm, enabling a 175mph top speed, with zero to sixty achievable in five seconds by a skilled driver. The six speed manual transmission allows the driver to delightfully row through the gears as the engine sings up the rev band. Double wishbone suspension and ventilated disc brakes all round ensure that handling and braking are up to par as well. What are you waiting for? Buy it!
The Honda/Acura NSX has had countless articles written about it. Soichiro Honda’s all aluminum body/suspension/engine masterpiece in so many ways surpassed all other sports/exotic cars of its day that it took them years to catch up. Here was a reliable, very high performance exotic car that drove as easily as a Prelude and you didn’t have to be afraid of even when pushed hard. Wonderful as that is, it’s also the reason Honda saw the need to offer versions of the NSX for drivers willing to accept more responsibility in exchange for crisper feedback and higher performance limits in the form of the NA1 and 2 Type R and the Type S, never offered in the US. The gorgeous Brooklands Green Pearl 1994 Coupe offered here represents the purest version of the breed, coupes (as are all Type R and S) being the lightest and having the stiffest chassis and the 5 spd, 3.0 engine being the strongest driveline.
The Honda NSX, sold in the USA under the upmarket Acura brand, is often regarded as Japan's first modern supercar. It was a groundbreaking vehicle and even inspired the creation of the McLaren F1 by Gordon Murray, who owned and drove an NSX extensively. This 1995 Acura NSX, with 118,644 miles on the odometer, showcases the enduring appeal of the NSX. It has been meticulously maintained and remains suitable for daily driving, making it an enticing option for supercar enthusiasts.
