Acura Mulls Restoration Program for First-Gen NSX

From Autoweek

• The first-gen Acura NSX was sold from 1990 to 2007 in the U.S.

• The company already has a restoration program for the sports cars in Japan

• A survey was sent to U.S. owners to gauge their interest

Acura could join Jaguar, Ferrari and other manufacturers with a factory restoration program for one of its classics: the first-gen NSX. The company is already doing it in Japan and according to John Watts, the NSX team's senior manager, during a zoom call of the 2020 Acura NSXPO virtual meetup, the company is seriously considering it for America.

“We have research going out to 2,000 people (first-gen NSX owners) in the United States asking their level of interest in the overall idea of a refresh plan and then looking at the packages as to the level of interest in specific packages,” said Watts. “We’re trying to see if there’s an appetite for this type of service in the United States, and it seems as though there is.”

Our local Acura representative confirmed the “exploratory research.”
