This car shown here is truly a special example of the 1991 Acura NSX (first generation NA1). Reportedly the first Black on Black NSX delivered to San Diego, and one of just 1,940 examples delivered to the United States for the 1991 model year. After the conceptual stage of development, which you can read in detail about on our page, @rarecarsonly, a design team led by Chief Designer Masahito Nakano and Executive Chief Engineer Shigeru Uehara, worked together to development what would later become the NSX. Toward the final stages of development, the legendary formula one racing driver, Ayrton Senna, also reportedly gave input into the design process. The NSX was manufactured by the Honda Motor Company, thus being named the Honda NSX, however, for the North American market, the NSX was marketed under the Acura brand, which is the luxury vehicle division of Honda. The NSX is powered by an all-aluminium 3.0 L V6 engine which featured Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control which improved the engines volumetric efficiency, and allows this car to produce just about 270hp. Notably, the NSX was also the worlds first mass-produced car to feature an all-aluminum body, after it was presented for the first time ever at the 1989 Chicago Auto Show. The NSX has since been produced across two generations, and a wide variety of different variants, overall becoming a truly iconic sports car overall. Thanks for another great event, and an opportunity to see some amazing cars, @porsche__sam!
