  • This is probably one of the finest examples of any Honda NSXs in Malaysia
  • Taught Ferrari how to build supercars when it was launched
  • And yes, it has a manual transmission

Over the weekend, Honda dealer Ban Lee Heng opened the doors to their new Melaka 3S showroom. In the process, they also showcased their epic collection of classic Honda models.

Now, we are already familiar with their Type R collection, which was highlighted here. But this time around, the dealership showcased a different legendary Honda model – the Honda NSX.

This red NA1-generation Honda NSX isn’t exactly bone-stock per-say, but it has been tastefully done up (read: OEM+). It is fitted with the facelift model’s 17-inch rims, with AP Racing brakes hiding behind.

Elsewhere, the NA1 NSX is powered by a naturally-aspirated, high-revving 3.0-litre V6 that does 280 PS and 294 Nm. Codenamed C30A, this particular NSX gets a 5-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. Honda also offered the NA1 NSX with a 4-speed automatic, but do you really want that?

The NA1-generation NSX was offered until 2001, after which the NSX facelift took over the baton. The NA2 codename is often erroneously labeled as the facelift model, but in fact, NA2 denotes models with the larger 3.2-litre C32B engine (294 PS, 304 Nm), facelift or not.

Future classic the NSX certainly is. Unmolested, low mileage examples of the non-Type R, NA1-generation Honda NSX are going for at least RM 500k in Japan, cementing its status as one of the finest cars to come out of Japan.
