The 2002 Acura NSX

The Acura NSX is returning for it’s 10th model year, this all-aluminum car is little changed from it’s introduction back in 1991. In 1995, Acura introduced an aluminum targa top which promptly became the best selling model. In 1997, the manual models were upgraded to a 6-speed and the engine was enlarged to improve horsepower from 270 Hp to 290. The result is one of the best sports cars available, regardless of price.

During a recent comparison test, Mario Andretti said, “...I’m not surprised that the NSX lap times were the second-fastest because it was the car I was most comfortable in.” High praise indeed. For 2002, this aluminum exotic gets new fixed headlights in place of the previous pop-up lights.
