The 1992 Acura NSX Base was introduced to compete in the coupe market. The Base is a member of a series of one trim levels for the NSX which include Base. The two-door car with its rear-wheel drive is positioned to aggressively fill this niche for Acura. There is strong competition from vehicles from Kia.

Acura NSX Engine Specs

The NSX Base is equipped with a Honda 3.0 liter six-cylinder engine that utilizes 24 valves. The VTEC engine is mated to a Honda 5-speed Transaxle. This is a long-standing favorite for buyers in the Coupe arena.

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.

The 1992 NSX's traditional fuel system runs on gas. The fuel is regulated electronically, with a fuel-injected multi-port fuel injection style of design. The fuel tank holds 18.50 gallons.

Vehicle Statistics

The dimensions of the NSX Base are 71.30 inches wide by 173.40 inches long. It sits a comfortable 46.10 inches off the ground. It seats a standard two passengers, with 2 doors. The wheelbase of 99.60 allows for limited leg room for the backseat passengers.

There is a 50,000* mile, 60* month warranty with this vehicle, including a powertrain warranty of 50,000*/36* miles/months. This is normal for this price range.

The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $65,000 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 1992 NSX gets 24 miles/gallon on the highway and only 18 - 19 in the city. This is exceptional for a coupe car.

In 1991 and 1992 the NSX Base was availble in the exterior colors of several colors. Additional options were made available by the factory.

We Think...

The 1991 model began the promise of the Acura NSX. The 1992 expanded on this success and has proven to be a strong seller in most markets. Even with strong competition from other manufacturers Acura hopes that the NSX Base will continue to be a profitable vehicle.
