Acura NSX (NA1)

Entering production for the 1991 model year, the original Acura NSX fundamentally altered exotic automotive history. Engineered under Chief Engineer Shigeru Uehara and refined at the Suzuka Circuit by Formula 1 World Champion Ayrton Senna, the mid-engine sports car proved that supercar performance could coexist with 360-degree outward visibility and uncompromised structural integrity. Built on the world's first series-production all-aluminum monocoque chassis, the NA1 featured forged double wishbone suspension, titanium connecting rods, pop-up headlights, and a high-revving 3.0-liter C30A VTEC V6 producing 270 hp. Evolving with the introduction of the open-air NSX-T targa in 1995, approximately 7,500 NA1 examples were delivered to North America through 1996.
