A high point in the coupe market is the Acura NSX. In 1994 Acura released an upgraded version of the NSX with one versions: Base. Sales for the NSX, especially the NSX Base, were brisk during 1994 and 1995. The improved reliability and the sporty styling were responsible for the sales boost.

Acura NSX Engine Specs

Standard equipment in the NSX for 1993 and 1994 includes the 3.0 liter engine by Honda, weighing in at 6 cylinders and twenty four valves. A 5-speed Standard Transaxle puts the power of the VTEC engine to the pavement. This is a long-standing favorite for buyers in the Coupe arena.

The fuel system for the 1994 NSX is a traditional PGM-FI, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 18.50 gallons.

The NSX uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.

Vehicle Statistics

The dimensions of the NSX Base are 71.30 inches wide by 174.20 inches long. It sits 46.10 inches off the ground. It seats a standard two passengers, with 2 doors. The wheelbase of 99.60 allows for extra leg room for the rear passengers.

The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $75,000 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of an industry-low price. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Coupe.

The standard warranty period for the NSX is 60* months, or 50,000* miles, whichever comes first. There is also a warranty on the powertrain for 36* months or 50,000* miles respectively. This is standard in the coupe market.

Fuel Efficiency

The NSX Base received a miles-per-gallon rating of nineteen in-city driving and twenty four when it came to highway driving. Being a gas-powered non-hybrid car, this was exceptional.

We Think...

The 1994 model year was telling year for the Acura NSX. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the Base version) meant that buyers could find the version that best suited their needs.
