This stunning 1991 Acura NSX represents one of the most
sought-after Japanese sports cars in the classic and collector car
market today. When Honda unveiled the Acura NSX in 1990, it didn't
just introduce a new sports car - it rewrote the rulebook for what
a supercar could be. The NSX was the culmination of years of Honda
engineering ambition, born from a simple but audacious goal: to
build a Ferrari-beater that anyone could drive every day. What
arrived was nothing short of a revolution on wheels. The NSX's
development story is the stuff of automotive legend. Honda enlisted
the help of three-time Formula 1 World Champion Ayrton Senna, who
spent countless hours at the Suzuka Circuit fine-tuning the car's
suspension geometry and ride quality. His feedback was so
influential that Honda engineers reportedly stiffened the chassis
significantly at his suggestion, transforming a good car into a
genuinely great one. When one of the greatest racing drivers in
history tells you your car isn't sharp enough, you listen. Beneath
the NSX's sleek, wind-tunnel-sculpted aluminum body - the first
all-aluminum monocoque chassis in production car history - sat a
mid-mounted 3.0-liter VTEC V6 engine producing 270 horsepower.
Numbers alone don't tell the story. This engine, built entirely by
hand at Honda's Takanezawa plant, revved with a mechanical
precision and urgency that left rivals scrambling. It wasn't merely
fast; it was alive. Honda's Variable Valve Timing and Lift
Electronic Control (VTEC) system delivered a Jekyll-and-Hyde
character, docile around town and ferociously willing above 5,800
rpm. The 1991 model year holds special significance as the
inaugural year for North American buyers - the first opportunity
for American enthusiasts to own what many were already calling the
Japanese Ferrari. Weighing in at just 3,010 pounds thanks to its
revolutionary aluminum construction, the NSX offered a
power-to-weight ratio that humbled far more expensive exotics of
the era. Wide-body visibility, a low cowl, and an exceptionally low
center of gravity gave drivers an immediacy and confidence that
Lamborghinis and Ferraris of the period simply couldn't match. This
particular examples comes to us from California with a clean
Carfax. Powering this '91 NSX is a mid-mounted aluminum-alloy
naturally-aspirated 3.0 Liter dual overhead cam VTEC V6 equipped
with computer programmed sequential port fuel injection, said to
have produced 252 horsepower and 210 foot-pounds of torque when
new. The internals of the 3.0 Liter V6 sports numerous
performance-optimized equipment such as titanium connecting rods,
specially formulated aluminum alloy pistons, and cast iron cylinder
liners that supplement the engine's strength at the 7,500 rpm
redline while also maintaining the sports car's low weight
characteristics. The 3.0L DOHC VTEC V6 is mated to a 4 speed
Automatic Transmission that makes this classic JDM car an easy car
for anybody to drive. Exhaust exits the 250HP Japanese powerplant
via a dual exhaust setup that generates a wonderful throaty sound
out of the tailpipes. This 1991 Acura NSX comes absolutely loaded
with fantastic features! You'll be able to keep the rubber to the
pavement when driving this rad 90s Japanese performance beast since
it comes equipped with a traction control system and "Torque
Control" limited slip rear differential. 4-wheel power disc brakes
come outfitted with ventilated rotors and an Anti-Lock Braking
System (ABS) that make bringing this '91 NSX to a complete stop a
total breeze. With rack and pinion power steering, squeezing in and
out of a tight parking space at the local car show or ice cream
shop is also an easy maneuver and the overall driving experience is
much improved. Riding on 15" forged aluminum alloy 5-spoke wheels
up front and 16" forged aluminum alloy 5-spoke wheels in the rear,
each mounted with ZR radials, this NSX has a great sports car look
and equally impressive ride. The lightweight aluminum body is
outfitted with sporty rear spoiler and is finished in Formula Red,
that completes the exterior exotic look of this Japanese import.
The interior of this 1991 Acura NSX is equally comfortable and
gorgeous! The plush Ivory Leather bucket bucket seats look great
and are separated by a center console. The matching leather door
panels, ivory carpeting and NSX-embroidered floor mats, and black
leather wrapped dash and steering wheel are all in wonderful
condition and remain in their stock configuration. Another major
highlight the NSX's interior is the fact that it's incredibly
roomy, making the car an extremely comfortable sports car for
anybody to enjoy. Like the drivetrain, the interior is absolutely
loaded with creature comforts! You'll be able to stay cool on a hot
summer day and warm on a cool fall evening thanks to the Air
Conditioning and Heater. Additionally, if you just want to enjoy a
natural breeze, you can easily raise and lower the power windows
with the flick of a switch. Anybody can get comfortable in this
Acura NSX because both seats are power adjustable. Power adjustable
outside mirrors are another welcome feature that make it easy to
see along side the Japanese sports car. Long cruises are made even
more enjoyable since this NSX comes equipped with cruise control.
You'll be able to listen to all of your tunes while cruising down
the road since this NSX sports an upgraded AM/FM/Bluetooth
entertainment system. The stock instrument cluster remains in place
and includes a 180 MPH speedometer, 9,000 RPM tachometer with 7,500
RPM redline, temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge and fuel gauge.
The interior is finished off with a digital clock, variable speed
wiper controls, cigar lighter and ashtray, and glovebox. Whether
you're buying your very first classic car or you're adding to your
existing collection of JDM classics, this 1991 Acura NSX would make
an excellent choice. Give Ellingson's a call today at
