Acura's first major change to the widely admired NSX came in
December of 2001 when a mild facelift was introduced. The most
noticeable change was the replacement of the NSX's original pop-up
headlamps with fixed xenon HID units. At the rear, the original
twin exhaust tips were replaced by quad units, along with a
redesigned spoiler. Wider rear tires were fitted along with a
slightly revised suspension. Furthermore, in North America, the
coupe was discontinued, leaving the targa as the only available
body style. In addition to a number of sporty colors, buyers could
choose between automatic or manual transmissions.
According to the accompanying CARFAX report, this NSX was
originally delivered to Acura de San Juan of Puerto Rico in 2005
prior to being sold in the contiguous 48 states the following year.
Finished in New Formula Red over a black leather interior and
fitted with a manual transmission, the car has travelled less than
9,200 miles from new, with the vast majority of those being accrued
in the U.S., prior to its purchase by the current owner and
subsequent importation from California to Switzerland in 2017. As
such, the car presents in wonderful condition throughout.
Combining sublime looks, driving dynamics, performance, and overall
value, the NSX quickly gained cult-car status and has remained
highly desirable since its introduction. Low-mileage examples are
few and far between and with less than 9,200 miles from new, this
affordable Japanese supercar will not disappoint.
