Vehicle Description
Chassis No. JH4NA1151NT000127
The development of the NSX began in 1984 with the HP-X (Honda
Pininfarina eXperimental) concept, which initially featured a
3.0-liter V6 engine. Honda's goal was to create a vehicle that
could rival the performance of contemporary V8 powered Ferraris
while offering greater reliability and a more accessible price
point. The concept evolved into the NS-X, standing for "New,"
"Sportscar," "eXperimental," although the final production model
was simply named NSX. Designed by Chief Designer Masahito Nakano
and Executive Chief Engineer Shigeru Uehara, the NSX incorporated
advanced aerodynamics with styling cues inspired by the F-16
fighter jet cockpit. The final stages of development also included
valuable input from Formula One World Champion Ayrton Senna, who
provided feedback on the car's handling and performance,
contributing to its exceptional driving dynamics.
The NSX distinguished itself as the first production car to feature
an all-aluminum semi-monocoque structure, a design that
significantly reduced weight and improved handling. This innovative
structure, combined with an all-aluminum 3.0-liter V6 engine
equipped with Honda's VTEC system, set the NSX apart from its
competitors. Unveiled at the 1989 Chicago Auto Show, the NSX went
into production in a dedicated factory in Japan and was available
for purchase by those salivating for a new sports cars concept
beginning in 1990.
From the 1992 model year, this NSX stands out as one of only 288
cars sold new in the U.S. market that year with the highly
desirable five-speed manual transmission in sleek Berlina Black
over Black. Today, this rarely seen, unmodified example is offered
with just 60,646 miles at the time of cataloging and remains in
splendid condition, a testament to the care it has received from
its enthusiastic owners. The clutch was reported to have been
replaced under previous ownership in 2015, with only a few thousand
miles driven since its replacement. This striking all-black 1992
Acura NSX, accompanied by a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report,
owner's manual, tool kit, tire pressure gauge, and jack, is a prime
example of Honda's engineering prowess and fresh thinking. granted
the storied Japanese manufacturer entry to an exclusive club of
international sportscar manufacturers and those fortunate to drive
one on an empty backroad, the thrill of a lifetime.
