The original Acura NSX did more than just compete with the likes of Ferrari and Lamborghini—it proved that a fast, reliable, and stylish mid-engine sports car didn’t have to be a maintenance nightmare. Given its history, it’s no surprise that pristine examples have been climbing in value lately, and this particular NSX-T is one of the finest we’ve seen from the US in recent years.
Currently listed up for auction on Bring a Trailer, this NSX-T is a 2001 model that’s has barely been driven at only about 6,000 miles (~9,600 km) since it first rolled off the line. Finished in Silverstone Metallic, arguably one of the best colors offered for the NSX, it’s been in the same family’s hands since February 2002. That’s a seriously well-preserved piece of automotive history.

In case you’re wondering, the “T” in the name isn’t just for show. It stands for Targa, meaning that yes, the roof panel is removable, so you can enjoy the open sky above without fully committing to a convertible. If you’re familiar with theChevy Corvette’s Targa top, you’re on the right track. The exterior is in excellent shape, with the car still rolling on the original 16-inch and 17-inch seven-spoke aluminum wheels, paired with Bridgestone Potenza RE010 tires. It’s a picture of well-kept, low-mileage goodness.
Black leather adorns the power-adjustable sport seats, and the leather has minimal signs of wear and a few cracks, which is impressive for a car of this vintage. The leather across the dash also looks impressively fresh.

As a 2001 model, this Acura NSX has a 3.2-liter naturally-aspirated VTEC V6 producing 290 hp and 224 lb-ft when this car was new. Those figures are easily eclipsed by modern hot hatches, but you won’t find a modern mid-engined sports car quite like this that pairs a high-revving V6 with a six-speed manual, rear-wheel drive, and a limited-slip differential. Make no mistake, the NSX-T is a proper driver’s car, and bids on this one are approaching the $100,000 mark.
