TOKYO: Acura, the luxury division of Honda, has announced that the highly anticipated NSX supercar will cost between US$156,000 and $205,700 (RM700,000 to RM900,000) when fully equipped and is due to arrive during the second quarter of 2016.
As Acura’s first build-to-order vehicle, customers will be able to design their NSX by selecting one of eight exterior colours and four interior colour schemes available in three different seating surface options.
The customers may further customize their NSX through several exterior and interior features including three wheel designs with painted or polished finish, carbon-ceramic brake options, a carbon fibre interior sport package and a carbon fibre roof, to name a few.
Order taking will begin on Feb 25, 2016, at authorized NSX retailers and will be in concert with the launch of the company’s web-based vehicle configurator at www.Acura.com.
The new website will be the first engagement point for customers interested in exploring the process of ordering a vehicle as well as for enthusiasts who want access to more customisation options.
Lastly, a scheduled appointment between the customer and a NSX retailer will help seal the deal.
The company also revealed that it plans to auction off the very first serial production NSX (VIN 001) in the last week of January, 2016, at the Barrett-Jackson collector car auction that’s located in Scottsdale, Arizona in the United States.
All proceeds from the auction sale will go to a pair of children’s charities, specifically the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation and Camp Southern Ground – a passion project of Grammy Award-winning artist Zac Brown.
The Japanese supercar will be the first all-new Acura vehicle to be auctioned for the benefit of charitable organizations – certified to be the very first serial production NSX and the winner will be able to customize their NSX to their choosing.
“The NSX is the pinnacle expression of Acura precision crafted performance and we’re thrilled to take the next step toward bringing it to market and we’re creating new space within the supercar realm, pushing the envelope beyond the conventional thinking about supercars – just like the original NSX,” said Acura Division vice president and general manager Jon Ikeda.
