📖Generation guide
NC1 • 2016-2022
The second-generation NSX features a single body style coupe and is powered by a 3.5L twin-turbo JNC1 V6 engine with 500 hp. It utilizes a hybrid system to achieve a combined output of 573 hp.
Type S • 2022
The final-year halo edition boasts 600 hp and significant chassis upgrades. With only ~350 produced, it is an instant collector's item.
Known issues by generation
While the NSX NC1 is renowned for its reliability, potential issues can include high-mileage clutch-pack wear on the 9-speed DCT and the need for valve-body service, which can be costly. Additionally, the hybrid battery pack may require servicing at the 8-10 year mark, emphasizing the importance of maintaining comprehensive service records. The Sport Hybrid SH-AWD system, including the front Twin-Motor Unit, requires specialized knowledge for repairs and maintenance. Owners should also be aware of the potential for curb rash on forged wheels and the substantial costs associated with replacing carbon-ceramic brake rotors, further underscoring the need for preventive maintenance and expert care.
Donation value by condition + generation
The NSX NC1 is a current-collector vehicle and its value is influenced by several factors, including the condition of the car, service history, and originality. Clean, low-mileage examples can command prices ranging from $80,000 to $120,000, while the Type S edition can reach $150,000 to $200,000.
