Honda NSX 3.0 L VTEC V6 1991

Allmän beskrivning : When you think of Honda/Acura, what do you see? Better yet, when you think of Honda/Acura in the '90s, what do you see? Fun and pragmatic runabouts like the Integra and Prelude? Well, that's to be expected, since everyone's favorite manufacturer of high-revving imports has built quite the reputation for technological and industrious transportation. And that reputation is exactly why classics like this first-year NSX are such cool finds. Virtually every automaker has to build its fair share of vanilla appliances. But there's just something incredibly exciting when a 'big seven' behemoth throws caution to the wind and lets its engineers do the talking. Sporting only 15,515 miles that were logged by one enthusiastic owner, this NSX is an unmodified beauty that's always resided in the mild confines of the southern United States. Want an incredible modern classic that's virtually guaranteed to build equity? This well-preserved Acura is your hot ticket!
HISTORY/CONDITION
During the late '80s and early '90s, Toyota, Honda and Nissan enjoyed unprecedented success as they built powerhouse brands that could compete with the world's biggest automakers. That success inspired Honda, already well-known for its efficiency and engineering expertise, to create what they considered an 'everyman's super car'. Enter the elegant NSX, with its highly advanced engine, forged aluminum suspension and all-aluminum body. This super clean NSX is a first-year model that was ordered by its one and only owner three years before production even started. That's right, the owner, who had carefully followed development of the car, was such a fan that he decided to just show up at his local dealer with cash in hand. The salesperson he spoke with had no idea the car was even being engineered but, upon checking with his manager, was happy to take the deposit. When the beloved NSX arrived, the owner traded in his early '60s Corvette. And today, this Acura rolls as an unmodified, low-mileage garage queen that, residing in the southern United States, has never seen snow and rarely seen rain.
ENGINE
To many folks, the sign of a true super car is exclusivity, and exclusivity is one area where the NSX has major chops. Toss this coupe's hatch and you'll find a 3.0 liter C30A V6 that, due to its cost and complexity, was never fitted to another production Honda. That's virtually unheard of in the modern era of platform sharing, global propulsion systems and government certifications. Mixing the brand's proven V-TEC variable valve timing with variable volume induction, that all-aluminum mill turns a respectable 270 horses and an impressive 210 lb./ft. of torque into a pleasingly flat power curve that tops out at 8,000 RPM. That level of revolution can be reliably maintained thanks to iron-sleeved cylinders, a lightweight rotating assembly and the C30A being one of the first mass-produced powerplants to utilize titanium connecting rods. Those meritorious powertrain characteristics, the same mindset shared by the car's high-strung S2000 brethren, are no doubt aided by 24-valve heads, which are wired with electronic fuel injection and direct ignition. And, as you can see from our high-resolution photos, the engine is every bit as fresh as a 26-year-old classic can be, with most of its ancillary components showing minimal wear.
DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
Park this NSX on a lift and you'll find a well-preserved undercarriage that, according to the car's current owner, has only seen one rain event. Behind the V6, a twin-plate clutch kicks a row-it-yourself 5-speed, which spins a limited-slip differential around aggressive, 3.18 gears. Below that drivetrain, a forged aluminum, fully independent suspension, which remains exactly as it was back in 1991, benefits from standard traction control. That chassis turns thanks to electronically assisted rack-and-pinion steering. At the corners, power disc brakes utilize 4-channel ABS to increase stopping performance. There's a pristine exhaust system, which gives the engine a signature growl. And everything rides on forged alloy wheels, which, benefitting from the car's well-known tire recall, spin 205/50ZR15 Yokohamas in front of 225/50ZR16 Yokohamas.
INTERIOR
Behind the doors, a weather-free interior offers a great balance between daily and high performance needs. Original bucket seats wrap tight leather around 4-way power adjustment. Between those seats, a molded console centers a leather-wrapped shifter behind a choice Bose sound system, which has been fully rebuilt, and automatic climate control, which benefits from a new compressor. The car's sculpted, color-keyed dashboard is in great shape and free of cracks and scratches. The carpet, protected by NSX themed floor mats, and leather door panels, framing controls for an array of power accessories, retain their showroom charm. In front of the driver, a leather-wrapped, Acura-branded steering wheel laps a tilt and telescopic column. Behind the passengers, a carpeted cargo hold hides a factory air compressor and aluminum jack with enough room for a couple of weekend bags or even a set of golf clubs. And everything, from the car's factory Cruise Control to its standard theft deterrent system, is lucid and ready to hit the road.

om Honda
Idag ger vi oss ut på en resa genom bilhistoriens annaler, särskilt berättelsen om Hondabilar fram till slutet av 1980-talet. Det är en berättelse om ett företag med ett orubbligt engagemang för teknisk excellens och ett anspråkslöst engagemang för att göra bilismen bättre.

Vår resa börjar med Honda N360, en petite kei-bil som fångade essensen av efterkrigstidens Japan. Den var liten, enkel och perfekt för att navigera på trånga stadsgator. Hondas första intåg i bilvärlden var anspråkslös, men det visade deras engagemang för praktiska och effektiva transporter.

Därefter möter vi Honda Civic, en bil som inte behöver presenteras. Den kom till scenen i början av 70-talet och satte tonen för de kommande decennierna. Civic var kompakt, pålitlig och effektiv, en bil som tyst vann förares hjärtan runt om i världen.

Vi går vidare till Honda Accord, en modell som omfamnade fördelarna med praktisk och tillförlitlighet. Det var en familjebil som man kunde lita på. Det gjorde inget väsen; det fick helt enkelt jobbet gjort.

Låt oss nu prata om Honda CVCC, en bil som tog upp 1970-talets miljöhänsyn. Den introducerade CVCC-motorn, en banbrytande teknik som minskade utsläppen och banade väg för renare, mer bränslesnåla motorer.

80-talet inledde Honda Prelude, en sportig coupé som förkroppsligade tidsandan. Det var en bil som vågade vara lite annorlunda, lite stiligare. Prelude var en inblick i Hondas förmåga att blanda praktiska egenskaper med en touch av sportighet.


Och naturligtvis finns det Honda CRX, en kompakt och smidig halvkombi som entusiaster älskade. Det var en bil som satte det "roliga" i "funktionellt". Med sin lätta design och peppiga motorer var det tjusigt att köra.


Till sist kommer vi fram till Honda NSX, en superbil som förändrade spelet. Det var Hondas sätt att säga, "Vi kan göra extraordinära också." NSX var ett tekniskt underverk, ett mittmotormästerverk som utmanade sådana som Ferrari.


Så där har du det, historien om Honda fram till slutet av 1980-talet. Det är en berättelse om bilar som inte skrek eller skröt utan som i tysthet skötte sin verksamhet och tillhandahåller effektiva, pålitliga och välkonstruerade lösningar för vardagen.



Och när vi betraktar dessa ödmjuka men innovativa fordon, påminns vi om att det ibland är de diskreta, välgjorda sakerna som lämnar de mest bestående intrycken. Helt fantastiskt, verkligen.
