About the 1997 Acura NSX

Honda's answer to Ferrari arrived in 1990, but the second-generation NSX from 1997-2005 represents the model's refined evolution. The mid-mounted 3.2-liter VTEC V6 produced 290 horsepower, paired with either a crisp 6-speed manual or Honda's innovative 4-speed automatic. What made the NSX revolutionary wasn't just its aluminum space frame construction or Ayrton Senna's development input, it was Honda's ability to deliver supercar performance with Japanese reliability. The '97-'05 models featured updated styling with fixed headlights, improved aerodynamics, and enhanced chassis tuning. With only 8,997 NSXs sold in North America across its entire 15-year run, these later examples are increasingly sought after by collectors who appreciate their analog purity in today's digital age. Values have climbed steadily as enthusiasts recognize the NSX as the last naturally aspirated, manual-transmission supercar from Honda's golden era.
