The Acura NSX is a 2-door car available at your Acura dealer. The NSX came in two configurations: T and Base. The Base configuration is powered by the 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine, which makes 23 - 24 highway miles and 18 city. The NSX competes in the Coupe market segment, in direct competition with Honda.

Under the Hood

The restyled NSX Base is equipped with a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine that utilizes 24 valves. The VTEC engine is mated to a Honda five-speed transaxle. This has resulted in an increase in horsepower and torque over the 1994 version.

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 $81,000 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of an industry-average price. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Coupe.

Fuel Efficiency

The fuel system for the 1995 NSX is a PGM-FI system, running on gasoline . The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The 18.50-gallon tank provides the fuel storage for longer trips.

The NSX Base received a miles-per-gallon rating of eighteen in-city driving and 23 - 24 when it came to highway driving. Being a gas-powered non-hybrid car, this was exceptional.

What We Think of the Acura NSX

There are several reasons why the Acura NSX Base sold well in 1995. Mainly the increase in availability and a marked improvement in quality meant the buying public was more apt to choose a Acura, specifically a NSX.
