The Acura NSX was a car of firsts. It was the first production car to feature aluminum construction for its body structure, body panels, suspension and engine. Its engine was the first to feature variable valve timing and a variable-volume intake manifold. It was the first Japanese sports car sold in America to truly go head-to-head with the world’s best. Furthermore, all of this ichiban stuff came from an automotive brand that, at the NSX’s debut, had been in existence for just five years.

Despite all of its finely honed excellence, however, the Acura NSX makes an interesting case study for what went wrong. After 15 years of the car’s production, Acura had sold only about 8,900 NSXs; for comparison, Chevrolet typically sells three times that many Corvettes in just one year. Acura is said to be working on a replacement set for the 2009 model year but for now the NSX is RIP.
