We're well aware of the fact that the Acura NSX (marketed as a Honda outside the U.S.) is justly considered to be one of the best and most reliable super cars ever to be produced, but finding an example that has clocked 409,228 miles or over 658,000 kilometers, is without any doubt, extremely rare. This NSX that's up for grabs on Craigslist,...

Way back in 1974, long before there was an Acura NSX, Honda S2000, or even a Civic Si, there was Honda performance pioneer Bob Boileau, otherwise know as “Honda Bob.” Bob campaigned this Honda Civic on race circuits years before anybody started thinking of Hondas as performance cars. Bob and his Civic earned the title of World’s Fastest Civic in 1976, when he was clocked at 146 mph...

If you're in the market for a top-of-the-line exotic sportscar, it used to be that the European automakers (like Ferrari, Porsche and Aston Martin) were the only place to go. The Acura NSX held down the fort for the Japanese automakers for a long while, but since its departure it's been back to business as usual. Japan's carmakers, however, are in the midst of a renaissance in the supercar arena....

Filed under: Motorsports , Japan , Honda , Specialty The Honda/Acura NSX has had a good run. The mid-engine supercar developed with input from the legendary Ayrton Senna first hit the market in 1990 and didn't cease production until 2005, giving it one of the longest production runs in the business. But even after Honda stopped selling the NSX, it was still being campaigned in Japan's SuperGT racing...

We will note two things first though. One, that the R8's super-low nose hangs way out in front of the front wheels means that, unless you are uncommonly careful, everyday driveway aprons leave everyday scratches on the...
