Despite being listed on Bring a Trailer with no reserve, a 2002 Acura NSX-T sold last week for an eye-watering $370,000—leaving potential buyers stunned and collectors in emotional shambles over the record-setting price.
Bring a Trailer is known for its rare and sometimes obscure collector car listings, where prices range from absolute steals to what some might call sheer insanity — like the 688-mile 1993 GMC Typhoon that sold for $226,000 just weeks ago.
What Makes This 2002 Acura NSX-T So Special?
Finished in Silverstone Metallic, this 2002 Acura NSX-T has only 9,000 miles — making it nearly brand new. The paint, body, and interior look just as pristine in photos. It rides on shiny 17″ forged wheels and comes with a removable body-panel colored hard top so you can enjoy the car rain or shine.
It’s powered by a mid-mounted 3.2-liter C32B V6 engine with dual overhead camshafts and VTEC variable valve timing. It is paired with a six-speed manual transmission with a limited-slip differential, making it a driver’s dream for many enthusiasts.
It even includes the original 2002 window sticker with factory options and the original MSRP of $89,745. It also comes with the initial sales documents, manufacturer’s literature, and service records.
Record Breaking Sales
This 2002 Acura NSX-T didn’t just command an impressive price—it also set a record on Bring a Trailer for both the NA2 and NA1 generations. The $370,000 sale surpassed the previous NA2 record of $315,000 and the NA1 record of $305,993, according to Bring a Trailer’s auction data.
Commenter SZVSCE on the Bring a Trailer forum wrote, “Excuse me while I pick my jaw off the floor…” — a sentiment echoed by many others who were just as stunned by the NSX itself and the final auction price.
Prior Popularity
The $370,000 sale may surprise some, but the passion for this car has been decades in the making. We see the mid-engine supercar-adjacent Japanese platform in the Fast and Furious Saga, but it grew in popularity all on its own.
Honda developed the NSX in response to European exotics, blending its reputation for reliability and engineering with a sleek, performance-driven design. For many, it was the perfect balance. The NSX was already beloved, and the “T” (for Targa) added extra appeal with its removable hard top — a favorite among open-air driving fans.
This record-breaking sale only shows that the popularity of the NSX hasn’t slowed down in the decades since its release.
