2002-2005 Honda NSX NA2 Cotton T-Shirt

The 2002-2005 Honda NSX NA2 redefined exotic performance by proving supercar dynamics could coexist with daily reliability. This facelifted iteration eliminated pop-up headlights to reduce drag, offering an ultra-low center of gravity and handling precision that shamed contemporary Italian exotics.

At the heart of the NA2 is the C32B engine, a 3.2-liter, naturally aspirated 90-degree V6 mounted transversely behind the cabin. Equipped with VTEC variable valve timing, this high-revving powerplant produces 290 horsepower at 7,100 rpm and 224 lb-ft of torque, utilizing titanium connecting rods.

This power is sent to the rear wheels via a close-ratio six-speed manual gearbox and a limited-slip differential. Underneath, an all-aluminum monocoque chassis pairs with aluminum double-wishbone suspension at all four corners, granting the NSX immense cornering grip and telepathic steering feedback.

With fewer than 2,000 facelifted units produced globally, this final run of the original NSX is highly coveted by modern collectors. It succeeded the early pop-up headlight generation and represents Honda's analog peak before the twin-turbo hybrid NC1 successor debuted in 2016.
