NSX roadster officially unveiled....

[6spdterror]

They officially unveiled it for the Avengers movie but they're still calling it a "one off" for the film. Its more than likely destined for production because of the recent patent filings though. Gorgeous car if i might say so myself!!

Thanks for the post. I'm looking forward to seeing more photos.

I love it, but it sure looks a lot like an R8.

 

[PHOEN$X]

I think the proportions are similar to an R8, but I think it looks better than an R8. Especially the facelifted version.

 

[6spdterror]

This thing looks way beter than an R8. If people see an R8 on the street it might be confused for an Audi TT......if one sees this new NSX on the street they would know its something special!

More shots..

Movie car is obviously built off an existing NSX platform. I wonder is Veilside can make a kit like this!?!?
Heres the link to the article with lots of pics.

That looks really awesome. I wonder why they taped up the AC vents?

 

[arista5]

MT002353. Is this car one that was ever on prime?



they taped over ALL the vents even inside the door openings AND the switch plates on both doors for the windows and locks.

LMAO they are using a 150k mile car as the avengers car in the movie

I LOVE this car. More than the new Concept. Also, if they do ever sell a kit for us to put this on our platform as they did for this Stark car... I think I'd do it and opt out of the new one :biggrin:

YES! I do believe I'd just find a donor though instead of ripping my car all apart :biggrin:

Enkei RAZR's.

...Especially the facelifted version.

The top of those headlamps looks an awful lot like the NSX Concepts.

Steering wheel appears to be wrapped in faux CF?

 

[arista5]

look again, 250K miles

lol, i looked at it and thought it was in KMs (156k mi conversion to 252kms)

 

[6spdterror]

Im so in love with that body and the color!! My Acura TL is mayan bronze so i guess im a lil biased!

Now if I could just get the production version in a proper manual as shown..

From http://www.insideline.com/features/the-avengers-movie-car-pictures.html#non-makeotot40512130

The movie car is an NA2 with 252k miles on it.

Any hope of figuring out which car they used for this build? Not sure if the door frame contains enough info to figure out a VIN.

 

[nsxot1c]

That guage cluster is definitely from an early 90's NSX. What has me is it is a full convertible... So did they wack the roof off of this car? Since it seems to not be an original targa? Or was it a Targa with just an older guage cluster swapped in?

[nsxot1c]

I stand corrected... after looking in the engine bay this car was an early NSX 91-94 with the roof wacked off. How strong chassis wise could this car be with the roof cut off and not too much visible added structure?

Maybe it is an NA1 - do the numbers on the door frame provide any additional insight?

And, it may not be terribly rigid, it's a movie prop - its job is mostly to look nice on screen. Sort of kills the hope of anyone selling a kit to do this conversion on a pre-targa NA1, though some company used to hack the roof off to make a convertible anyway, handling/stability be damned.

The floopeedoo three scoops over the engine are goofy.

The door serial # ends in 2353 which means it has to be a 1991 because that's the only year that they sold that many is a year. It looks to be a manual trans so I'm betting the VIN is JH4NA1150MT002353. Here's a link to the car listing .. seems to match the mileage pretty close: http://usedcarsfsbo.com/asp/Item.asp?soldid=27717&make=Acura&theday=6/5/2011
