This lot will be auctioned via Silverstone Auctions, Supercar Fest Sale of Iconic and Classic Cars 2023 on Saturday the 20th of May, Sywell Aerodrome, Sywell, Northampton, NN6 0BN. When the original NSX made its debut in 1989, it forever changed the supercar segment by offering dramatic supercar styling, performance and dynamics and breaking new ground in terms of quality, ergonomics and usability. In November 2007, Honda announced plans to launch a NSX successor by 2010, based on the styling of the front V10-engined Acura ASCC (Advanced Sports Car Concept). Despite prototypes being tested for production, just a year later, Honda announced that plans had been cancelled due to the poor economic conditions. Instead, in March 2010 Honda unveiled the HSV-010 GT for participation in the Japanese Super GT Championship, however, this model never reached production as a road-legal car.
Reports that Honda was again developing a successor to the NSX re-emerged in April 2011 and in December of that year it became official as they announced a second-generation NSX concept which was unveiled the following month at the 2012 North American International Auto Show for planned sale in 2016. Unlike the original car which was manufactured in Japan, the new NSX was designed and engineered in Marysville, Ohio at Honda's plant, led by Chief Engineer, Ted Klaus. The new NSX is a hybrid sports car powered by a 3. 5-litre, twin-turbo V6 and three electric motors, two of which form part of the "SH-AWD" all-wheel-drive system, altogether producing almost 600bhp. Fitted with a 9-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission, the NSX will arrive at 60mph in just 3 seconds on its way to 191mph. An astonishing car in its looks, performance, handling and its overall civility.
Offered here is a stunning, second-generation Honda NSX supplied new to the UK and first registered on 23rd June 2018. Our vendor, the only owner from new, specified the NSX in special order Andaro Valencia Red Pearl with Orchid leather and Graphite Alcantara trim. Also ticked on the options list were the desirable Tech Technology Package which integrates the ELS Studio Audio System, next?generation AcuraLink, Acura Satellite-Linked Navigation System with Voice Recognition and HD Digital Traffic, and front and rear parking sensors.
At the time of cataloguing, this amazing NSX had covered just under 5, 400 miles and has evidently been extremely well cared for and correctly dry stored when not in use. It's supplied with a history file containing its owners book pack, service paperwork and current V5C. Generously, our vendor has agreed to the Cherished Registration Number, W6 NSX remaining on the car and forming part of the sale.
