1996 HONDA NSX - Lot 80
1996 HONDA NSX Series: JHMNA11500T000212 Same owner for 14 years Sold with all books The anti-Ferrari par excellence Rare on our territory Mechanical gearbox French registration At the end of the 1980s, the war between Ferrari and McLaren-Honda was raging in Formula 1, but the Prancing Horse was still the brand to beat in the world of road-going sports cars. The time had come for both manufacturers to counter the Italians, including on the road. While McLaren chose to take on the fledgling F40 by preparing its F1 for 1993, Honda was to develop one of the best sports cars of all time: the NSX. To achieve this, the Japanese giant put considerable resources into its work, starting in 1984. The car was designed around a load-bearing aluminum body and a VTEC (2x2 overhead camshafts and variable intake) V6, all in a central rear position, just like on a Ferrari... The design, meanwhile, was inspired by the Honda HP-X concept presented in 1984 and produced by Pininfarina, just like on a Ferrari... The final version was then designed by Ken Okuyama, who would later design the features of the Enzo. During the car's development, several bodies were tested in order to obtain the greatest possible rigidity. Such was the desire for perfection that Ayrton Senna himself took charge of the NSX's development on the Suzuka circuit, wearing tasselled moccasins, resulting in a famous sequence in which the driver pushes the car to the limit, linking heel-toe and counter-steering. The N(ew) S(port) (E)X(perimental) presented in 1989 at the Chicago Motor Show was to take everyone by surprise: 274 hp at 7,300 rpm, 270 km/h top speed, and weighing just 1,370 kg, the Honda could hold off a Ferrari 348. Above all, the NSX was intended to be easy, reliable and comfortable, the exact opposite of a virile, hard, noisy and fiery Ferrari. Delivered new in Italy by the Honda dealer in Novara, this car is a desirable two-tone mechanical gearbox version. It was imported into France in the early 2000s to the Biarritz region, where it remained until 2009, when it was acquired by its current owner, a collector from the Loiret region. In very good condition, our NSX has clocked up 86,000 km, a low mileage for this model. In excellent condition, both mechanically and aesthetically, this car is a genuine collector's item with a rising price tag. 1996 HONDA NSX Serial number : JHMNA11500T000212 Same owner for 14 years Sold with all books The anti-Ferrari par excellence Rare on our territory Mechanical gearbox French registration At the end of the 1980s, the war between Ferrari and McLaren-Honda was raging in Formula 1, but the Prancing Horse was still the brand to beat in the world of road-going sports cars.
