2005 Acura NSX
Overview
This 2005 Acura NSX featured on Sotheby’s Motorsports represents a fine example of the first-generation of Acura’s iconic mid-engined, rear-wheel drive sports car.
The exterior is defined by a New Formula Red paint finish, with the aluminium-constructed body riding on a staggered set of Acura forged alloy wheels (17” x 7 front, 17” x 9 rear). The removable roof section seamlessly transforms this NSX between enclosed coupe and open-top targa configuration. Additional exterior highlights include power side door mirrors, fixed Xenon HID headlights, and an integrated rear spoiler with LED rear stop light. Previous application of XPEL paint protection film and ceramic coating to the exterior, combined with separately-applied ceramic coating for all four wheels highlight previous keeper/s commitment to preserve the originality of this final model year NA2-gen NSX.
The cabin features Onyx leather upholstery on both power-adjustable driver and passenger seats, the leather-wrapped steering wheel, lower center console sections, dashboard, and side door panels, all complemented with model-specific floor mats. Further amenities include cruise control, automatic climate control, power windows, tilt/telescopic adjustable steering column, 4-speaker Bose Sound System with AM/FM/6-Disc CD/Casette Player, and remote entry system with factory immobilizer. Subtle modifications noted within the interior include an aftermarket gear shift knob, along with a Grom BT-3 Bluetooth adapter w/hands-free microphone to bring modern-era connectivity while retaining the appearance of the NSX’s specially-designed cockpit.
The mid-mounted 3.2L naturally-aspirated C-Series DOHC V6 engine equipped with the Japanese brand’s signature VTEC technology drive the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission, with modern assists like traction control and anti-lock brakes providing a secure driving experience. Extensive service records from current and previous ownership highlight regular maintenance performed by Acura dealerships and specialist garages. Just under 27,000 miles are currently shown on the odometer. Seller’s Disclosure, two key fobs, window sticker, factory literature, and tool kit are included with the sale.
