For Sale at Auction: 2002 Acura NSX-T in Las Vegas, Nevada

Chassis No. JH4NA21652T000187

Introduced as Japan's first true supercar, the Acura NSX famously blended exotic car performance with everyday useability, earning its place as one of the most celebrated sports cars of the modern era. The distinguished 2002 styling update brought with it a suite of changes that further sharpened the NSX's appeal and polished it for the new century. Most notably, the retractable headlights were replaced with fixed HID units, accompanied by a revised front fascia, new side sills with increased aerodynamics, and black mesh vents for a more contemporary, aggressive appearance. Mechanical improvements included larger 17-inch forged alloy wheels, a slightly quicker steering ratio, and a wider rear track for enhanced handling. Inside, detail refinements elevated the cockpit-including aluminum trim surrounding the center console, contrasting stitching on the dash, and optional color-matching upholstery. Just 246 NSXs were made for 2002, with all U.S.-bound examples fitted with the removable targa top.

This 2002 Acura NSX-T is finished in Spa Yellow Pearl with an Onyx Leather interior. It is powered by the 3.2-liter V6 with a six-speed manual transmission, making 290 horsepower and 224 lb-ft of torque. In addition to an impressive list of standard premium features the NSX received in 2022, this car has been optioned with the six-disc trunk-mounted CD changer and embroidered NSX trunk mats.

According to its clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report, this car was first registered in Kansas in August 2002. The NSX was offered for sale at an Acura dealership two years later with 17,000 miles recorded and changed hands that June. It was sold again in May 2005 and was registered in Utah, where it remained long term-enjoying a moderately dry climate in the Sun Belt. The car was serviced in Logan, Utah in 2021, with additional maintenance at Jody Wilkinson Acura in Salt Lake City the following July. Later that year it was acquired by its most recent private owner, relocating to Texas and receiving continued care at Grubbs Acura in Grapevine, including a rear brake pad replacement in November 2023 and a service inspection in January 2024. At a point the car received new Bilstein shock absorbers and a slightly lower ride height for an extra sporing look.

Offered with 42,300 miles at time of cataloging, this 2002 Acura NSX-T represents the evolution of Acura's landmark supercar into the 21st century, tempering the NSX's timeless design with modern refinements. With its desirable six-speed manual transmission, premium amenities, and striking Spa Yellow finish, this icon of usability and performance remains as thrilling to drive as it is collectable.
