NSX is history
NSX is history
The NSX has received more critical acclaim than any other Acura since its debut in 1991, although it’s only managed to achieve total cumulative global sales of 18,000 unites in 15 years. Regardless, the NSX was a point of pride for Acura having received accolades such as ” the best sports car ever built” from Motor Trend. All good things must come to an end, and the NSX will meet its maker at the end of the year due to extensive retooling that would have been necessary to meet strict 2006 emissions and equipment regulations from around the world. While Acura chose not to release any specifics about the car’s replacement, John Mendel, senior vice president of automobile operations stated the all-new model would be just as groundbreaking as the 1991 NSX.

Can't wait to see the specs on the replacement. The NSX has always been(at least since it was introduced) one of my favorite vehicles!

Current Generation NSX Production to Halt at Year End
"TORRANCE, Calif. 07/11/2005 -- To further enhance the division's performance image, Acura is developing a new sports car to succeed the award-winning NSX supercar. Acura also announced that production of the current generation NSX will cease at the end of the year due to the extensive retooling necessary to meet stringent 2006 emissions and equipment regulations for the U.S., Europe and Asia.
"We are committed to having an ultra high-performance vehicle in the Acura lineup in the future," said John Mendel, senior vice president, automobile operations. "It's too early to comment on specifics, but the all-new model will be just as groundbreaking as the 1991 NSX."
As the first-ever supercar from Japan, the NSX was created as a hand-built, exotic, mid-engine sports car that would establish entirely new levels of performance, refinement and drivability. The NSX went on sale in the summer of 1990 and the following year posted record U.S. sales of 1,940 vehicles. Through June of 2005, NSX cumulative sales totaled 8,854 in the U.S. and more than 18,000 worldwide.
During its 15-year run, the NSX has been showered with accolades including, Automobile Magazine's "Automobile of the Year and Design of the Year" awards, Popular Science's "Best of What's New," Road &Track's "Ten Best Cars in the World" list. Motor Trend magazine also named the NSX to its "Top Ten Performance Cars" list and touted it as "the best sports car ever built."
Acura designed the NSX as a technological and performance showcase. Among other innovations, it was the first production car to feature an all-aluminum body, chassis, and suspension and to utilize titanium connecting rods. It featured a transversely mounted dual overhead cam V-6 engine equipped with Acura's breakthrough VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) system and a variable volume induction system.
Over time, the NSX received continuous updates to ensure its competitiveness and popularity with serious sports car enthusiasts. The NSX has also captured multiple championships in the highest levels of sports car and prototype racing.
Additional Acura information and downloadable high-resolution images of the NSX are available at www.acuranews.com."
