Honda NSX-R NA1

Honda's NSX-R took the already impressive NSX and stripped it down for pure performance, removing 120kg through deletion of sound deadening, air conditioning, stereo, and electric seat adjustment. The car received stiffer suspension, a close-ratio transmission, lightweight BBS wheels, and a fixed rear spoiler. The NSX-R became a legend in Japanese tuning culture and remains one of the most sought-after variants of Honda's supercar, with values appreciating significantly in recent years.

$120,000 – $250,000
