Acura NSX-R - Street Level
Read about the history of the Honda's NSX in the Street Level section of this month's issue.NSX-R BIO
The Honda NSX, sporting Acura badges in the U.S., approaches the unsuspecting ear with a distinct rumble. It is a genuine sports car from birth and it sounds like nothing else. It hums like a sewing machine but with a slight throaty cackle. Powered by the 90-degree, C-series V-6 powerplant, Honda's famed mid-ship sports car was introduced to the U.S. for the 1991 model year and soon after was named Playboy magazine's "sexiest car." It was. The paternal twins also known as the Honda and Acura NSXs were arguably sleeker and sexier than the Barbie twins featured in the popular men's magazine that very year. Since its introduction to the world almost 20 years ago, approximately 18,000 units were sold, but fewer than half of those made their way to America before Honda halted production in 2005. As rare as the NSX is, its NSX-R derivative is even rarer-none of which were built in LHD configurations nor shipped to the U.S for legal sale. Ever.
