1991 Widebody Acura NSX Has An Air Of Japanese Super GT Racer About It

One could make an argument that modifying a first-gen Acura NSX is akin to blasphemy but one example boasts a number of them anyway.

The car is currently up for sale on Bring A Trailer and the first thing you’ll notice is the widebody kit. The listing notes that the car was repainted after this kit was installed to ensure all the panels matched up nicely. Various other exterior modifications have also been made.

For example, the widebody kit has been complemented with an adjustable APR Performance carbon fiber rear wing and an aggressive new rear diffuser. A previous owner has also equipped the NSX with a set of forged Volk Racing TE37V wheels finished in bronze and shod in Landgolden tires. Another key modification made is the fitment of a bespoke air suspension system that features two Viair air compressors and an Air Lift Performance controller. All in all, all the mods give the NSX a very aggressive appearance; squint hard enough, and you might even see some resemblance to the old Japanese Super GT racers.

Move to the interior and there are Bride reclining bucket seats clad in black cloth with gray center sections. Also fitted is a new rear-view mirror, an Eclipse head unit with navigation, three-spoke Mugen steering wheel with red stitching, plus all the standard features including automatic climate control and cruise control.

From the factory, the car’s 3.0-liter naturally-aspirated C30A V6 was rated at 270 hp and 210 lb-ft of torque. This car also includes a carbon fiber airbox and an aftermarket coolant overflow tank as well as new headers and an aftermarket exhaust.
