About the Honda NSX-R (NA2)

The NA2 NSX-R is one of the most focused road cars Honda ever built. It takes the already precise NSX formula and strips it back around response: less weight, sharper suspension, shorter gearing and a hand-built feel that separates it from ordinary 1990s performance machinery. It is rare, valuable and not a car to judge by horsepower alone.

Investment Grade ยท Strong

The Honda NSX-R (NA2) (2002-2005) represents strong investment fundamentals, backed by bulletproof reliability (90/10) that owners routinely daily-drive and low running costs (88/10 maintenance). The RWD chassis has a loyal following among enthusiasts, and parts remain widely available (38/10). Its holy-grail status means clean, unmolested examples surface only a handful of times a year worldwide. Right now values have climbed a steep +20.0% over the last 12 months, and a rarity score of 69/100 keeps good cars in short supply. Clean examples with documented service history command the highest premiums; modified cars typically sell for less than stock.

Price estimates are based on market research and recent sales data. Values fluctuate based on condition, mileage, and market demand. Not financial advice.
