Acura NSX 1990-2005 Specifications

The 1990-2005 Acura NSX primarily features a 3.0L V6 engine (C30A) in earlier models and a 3.2L V6 engine (C32B) in later models. The C30A produces 270 hp and 210 lb-ft of torque, while the C32B delivers 290 hp and 224 lb-ft of torque. The C32B also includes improved Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC) for enhanced performance and efficiency.

The NSX offers a 5-speed manual transmission as standard, with an optional 4-speed automatic transmission (available until 2004). The manual transmission is praised for its precise gear shifts, while the automatic provides smoother operation for daily driving.

The NSX includes standard safety features such as anti-lock braking system (ABS), dual airbags, and a reinforced aluminum monocoque chassis. Optional features include traction control (from 1997 onwards) and a limited-slip differential for improved handling.

The NSX achieves an EPA-estimated 17 mpg city and 24 mpg highway (manual transmission), which is competitive with other high-performance sports cars of the era, such as the Porsche 911 and Ferrari 348.

Recommended maintenance includes oil changes every 7,500 miles, timing belt replacement every 90,000 miles, and regular inspections of the braking system, suspension, and fluid levels. Always refer to the owner�s manual for detailed schedules.

The NSX comes standard with leather seats, power windows, and a premium sound system. Optional features include a removable roof panel (Targa top), upgraded Bose audio system, and forged aluminum wheels.

The NSX offers 5.4 cubic feet of cargo space, which is comparable to the Porsche 911 but less than the Ferrari 348. Passenger space is limited to two occupants, with a focus on driver-focused ergonomics.

The NSX is not designed for towing and does not have a specified payload capacity. It is optimized for performance and handling rather than utility.
