An example of the 1991 Acura NSX.

The NSX interior is somewhat dated but also refreshing in its absence of useless stuff.

The early versions of the NSX carry a 3.0-liter V-6 making 272 hp.

Most NSX drivers enjoy the 8,000 rpm redline much of the time, rewarded by the scintillating exhaust note.

Assembled by a team of special technicians at a dedicated facility in Tochigi, Japan, the NSX was a quality piece, establishing a benchmark for fit and finish that any stateside or European manufacturer would envy.

Despite the car’s architecture and strictly two-person capacity, the rear-trunk compartment is fairly commodious and practical for weekend jaunts (golf clubs or skis notwithstanding).

After more than three decades, the first NSX still looks and drives like a contemporary car.

Values have soared in the past four years, so plan to spend upward of $120,000 or more for a first-generation example of the Acura NSX in excellent condition.
