Lovely 1991 Acura NSX in South Austin

Written by Ken Altes

Under-appreciated super car that’s remarkably advanced technically, still, in 2014.  Mid-engine all-aluminum V6 with 8000 RPM red line, first production car with all-aluminum monocoque body.  Its design target was the Ferrari 348, whose performance it exceeded while delivering greater comfort and reliability.  Still beautiful, this should be quite collectible. More details here.
