Acura NSX-T 1995, Japão
Fotografia
Developed as Honda's ambitious foray into the high-performance market, the manufacturer debuted the NSX in 1990. The groundbreaking vehicle was engineered with a potent combination of performance and reliability, leveraging Formula 1 learnings including an all-aluminum monocoque body—a first for a production car. The design team, led by Chief Designer Masahito Nakano and Executive Chief Engineer Shigeru Uehara, emphasized the importance of driver experience, focusing on superior handling, agility, and a user-friendly nature not commonly found in high-performance sports cars of the era. The NSX also set new standards for build quality and practicality, making it a unique proposition in its class.
For 1995, model updates culminated in the NSX-T. A switch to Targa-roof configuration as standard, fitment of limited-slip differential, and throttle-by-wire made the refreshed model an exotic on par with the heights of its competition. The car’s 3.0-liter V6 engine featured Honda’s innovative VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control), producing 270 horsepower and 210 lb-ft of torque. Five-speed manual shifting paired with lithe dynamics gained via lightweight construction, a mid-engine layout, and double-wishbone suspension. Pop-up headlights and a low, wide stance, embodied the essence of a classic sports car while interior ergonomics offered a comfortable and engaging driving experience uncommon in high-performance vehicles of the time.
This remarkably preserved first-year Acura NSX-T arrives in Red over Tan leather. Enthusiast ownership and low mileage combine for seldom-seen time capsule condition. Beneath the removable roof, supple leather and the best of 90s analog controls fill out the pristine cabin. A Bose AM/FM/Cassette stereo, automatic climate control, cruise control, and a tilt/telescopic steering wheel lend luxury comfort at any speed. Refined styling with pop-up halogen headlights and body-integrated rear spoiler clads the car’s all-aluminum unit body construction. Electric variable-assist rack and pinion steering provides rewarding engagement of finely tuned four-wheel independent suspension. Recent timing belt major service and comprehensive maintenance has been carried out under the seller’s ownership, presenting the ideal turnkey addition to any collection. Showing just 21k miles, a clean title, Carfax report, and third-party inspection report accompany the sale. Texto da Sotheby's Motorsport.
