In 2012, moviegoers watched Tony Stark get behind the wheel of an Acura NSX Roadster in The Avengers. But here’s the twist: that futuristic roadster wasn’t a second-gen NSX as many thought. It was a cleverly disguised 1991 first-gen NSX, transformed into a one-off for the big screen. Now, Acura is dusting off this cinematic gem for a charity auction in 2026 and one lucky bidder will get to own a piece of Marvel history.
At the recent Sydney Session AU show, Autotique, an Australian tuner, unveiled two body kits for the first-gen Acura NSX. The NSX is a collector’s car and customizer’s dream, with its sleek lines and Ayrton Senna’s seal of approval. Autotique’s Widebody and OEM Plus kits cater to different tastes – one a full-on transformation, the other a subtle refresh – both breathing new life into a car that still turns heads decades later.
This 1996 Acura NSX-T with just 10,700-miles on the odometer is probably as close as you’ll get to a showroom-like vehicle in 2024. However, it has already reached $71,500 at auction with 2-days left to go, which means it could break the 6-figure marker.
Auto enthusiasts probably know that the Lucid Air Ground Touring boasts a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive powertrain that generates 819 hp and 886 lb-ft of torque, enabling it to hit 60 mph in 3.0-seconds, but is it faster than the Acura NSX Type S?
When you think of a Kawasaki Ninja H2 R, the last thing that comes to mind would probably be drag racing an Acura NSX Type S, that is unless…you’re Edmunds. Why? Well, first off the NSX weighs in at a hefty 3,913-pounds, or at least compared to the 476-pound motorcycle.
