OK I've updated the first post so it has the final chart, but I'll PM to you also.
NSX changes by year, NA1/NA2 explanation, and production numbers (all in one simple chart)
- Thread starter centerpunch
- Start date
OK I've updated the first post so it has the final chart, but I'll PM to you also.
Your production numbers do not look correct. Maybe US sold number only?
Uh, the first three words in the chart heading are "US-spec NSX."
I have zero personal knowledge of the stats, just copied them from the second link in the first post of this thread.
Ah, I remember why I had 21 as the NA2 coupe number in my head now! The 2001 coupe that is listed as automatic is actually a manual - I think the Wiki is incorrect here. It sold at Barrett-Jackson a few years back to @NYCNSX but not sure he still has it. So, in summary, there are two manual 2001 coupes (and no autos that we've seen - unless there is another 2001 un-identified auto hardtop floating around out there somewhere...)Here's a new chart that combines info from previous threads, and clarifies the NA1/NA2 confusion.
NA1 has 3.0 engine: Manual cars 1991 through 1996, and ALL automatic cars
NA2 has 3.2 engine: Manual cars 1997 through 2005
Note, every car has either NA1 or NA2 as part of the VIN number.
Hopefully this chart shows everything you need to understand when looking for your first NSX.

To give credit where credit is due, this evolved from a sketched chart I did in this thread that was refined and enhanced by @Wild Turkey:
Question about the which models of the Gen1 NSX has C32B engine in it
So we all know the NSX base model runs with the C30A engine, but Honda starts using the C32B engine in 1997, so does it mean the NSX-T that builds after 1997 has the C32B engine? if so, does it mean the C32B and a 6 speed manual transimisson only applied on NSX-T(NA1) and all NA2 models?www.nsxprime.com
In addition, I added production numbers from this thread, which shows charts by @Jetpilot3 where he used info by "Ben Lin." His charts also show detailed "how many of each color" production numbers, check them out.
Revised NSX Production Charts (NA1 91-96, NA2 97-01, Facelift 02-05)
Hey NSX Prime Members, Having had some time on my hands I wanted to revise the great charts with information provided by Ben Lin. Often I see questions on Bring a Trailer and other threads as to what information there is for each of the years and model types. Not sure if these can be added to...
Gearing should be added to this chart. 5- and 6-speed don’t fully tell the story.
I'd love to find either the 2000 or 2001 automatic coupe shown in the chart. A couple posts back @Arkaid indicated the 2001 auto couple may not actually exist.
If true, that would make the 2000 auto coupe the only car with auto, larger brakes, perf leather and improved ABS.
I've searched for this car many times and never found any mention of it. I wonder if this car never made it to the general public and Honda kept it a museum or other internal use.

Another way for prospective NSX owners to narrow their model year search:
- Decide what transmission you want. Parts availability is limiting swap options, so get what you want off the bat.
- Decide what color you want, although wrapping may be an option, and your only option if you want a yellow fixed roof.
- Decide in advance what level of modifications you would like/would accept.
- Ignore yearly rim options - easily switched.
- Ignore roof colour options - easily wrapped if it's that important.
- Ignore the old wives' tales of '95/96 being lower power to weight ratio. It's 3%, ~1/2 of a passenger, & you can make it up removing the spare/bracket and swapping for a LiFePO4 battery. Unless you have an old wife.
- Do you want a fixed roof?
- Yes, and I must have one or both of 6 speed/OBDII - you want a Zanardi or 97-05 coupe (70 made in total.) It will take a while and ++$.
- Yes, 5-speed OK - you want '91-'94.
- Don't care, but must have pop-ups - '91-'01
- Don't care, but must have fixed headlights - '02-'05
- No - move to next step
- Is a 6-speed that important to you?
- Yes - '97-05
- I must have pop-ups - '97-'01
- I must have fixed headlights - '02-05
- No- '95-05
- I must have pop-ups - '95-'01
- I must have fixed headlights - '02-05
- Yes - '97-05

Here's a new chart, I'm sure everyone will be very excited.
I suspect most folks choose headlight configuration and tranny type first, so this is structured around that.
