Equipment
2977/276hp, 5-speed, air conditioning, radio, Recaro carbon-Kevlar seats, forged aluminum Enkei wheels, titanium shift knob.
Condition
One of 483 first series NSX-Rs built from 1992-95, all for the home market. Excellent paint and body, everything presents like-new. The mechanicals, interior and underbody are immaculate. It looks new, and with just 6986 km (4341 miles) showing it practically is.
Market commentary
In sharpening the already brilliant NSX into the NSX-R, Honda shaved over 250 pounds of weight, stiffened the chassis and suspension, increased the final drive, added a higher locking limited-slip differential, and blueprinted/balanced the engine. This is one of those cars that enthusiasts of a certain generation are certainly aware of and have drooled over, but have never actually seen one other than on the internet or on PlayStation. It's a JDM dream car right up there with special edition Skylines, and at $632,000 this one is the most expensive NSX ever sold at auction, besting the previous $305,993 record (another NSX Type R) by over double. As modern JDM cars mature in the collector car market, though, there's an argument to be made that this halo Honda still has plenty of room to grow.
