Less than 500 copies of this version of the nearly 30-year-old Japanese sports car were made.
Honda first unveiled its brand new sports car, the NSX, to the general public at the Chicago Motor Show in February 1989, which was an immediate undivided success. The first specimens were found in Japan in 1990, and the model remained in production until 2005, and the second-generation version only came to light in 2016. Today, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find a first-generation NSX in good condition with relatively modest mileage, but now such a copy has just appeared, waiting for a new owner.
In addition, the car shown in the attached photos is not just any NSX, but a limited series NSX-R, straight from 1993. Between November 1992 and September 1995, only 483 NSX-Rs were made exclusively for the Japanese market.
Unlike the standard NSX, the NSX-R has no sound system, air conditioning, stability control and spare wheel. Thanks to this, as well as the carbon-filled Recaro sports seats and, among other things, the lighter Enkei rims, we managed to cut 120 kilograms from the weight of the car. The sports car, which weighs just 1,230 kilograms, has a modified transmission and chassis, and its tires are softer than tires fitted to normal NSX.
