Back in October, when our Editor-in-Chief Mike Austin drove the 2017 Acura NSX for the first time in the Bay Area and at Sonoma Raceway, we guessed that the hybrid supercar would start at around the $170,000 price point.
Acura may be caught up in 2017 NSX excitement right now, but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t been thinking about what to do with its more mainstream sedans. It’s unclear when deliveries commence, but the NSX will come with eight exterior colors, four interior colors and three seating options.
On top of that, it will also feature a specially tuned Super Handling All-Wheel Drive System, along with ten air-cooled exchangers for keeping the powertrain’s temperature under control.
Complete pricing details won’t be available until February 25.
Following Detroit, Acura will begin taking customer orders for the NSX.
The NSX is a high-tech sports vehicle that was engineered in the USA and will be built exclusively in Marysville, Ohio.
“It will be available for purchase by anyone – by anyone, that is, who submits the highest bid for the very first production NSX VIN No. 001”, Ikeda said. Outside you’ll have your choice of three wheel designs including carbon-ceramic brake options, a carbon fiber interior sport package, carbon fiber roof, and more.

The public will get the long-awaited look at the second generation of Honda’s Ridgeline when the midsize pickup debuts next month at the 2016 North American International Auto Show, the automaker says here at its annual holiday media party. Acura will split the proceeds between the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation and Zac Brown’s Camp Southern Ground, which serves children with behavioral or socio-economic challenges.
