A heavily upgraded 1992 Acura NSX with just 48,000 miles is currently up for bid on Bring a Trailer, and the bidding activity around it says a lot about where the Japanese supercar market sits in 2026. Finished in Grand Prix White with a five-speed manual, the car is being sold by dealer Mohr Imports as part of a Monterey Car Week Collection consignment, with the auction set to close on August 13.
Under the rear clamshell sits the NSX's original all-aluminum, 3.0-liter VTEC V6, though very little else about the drivetrain has been left alone. A GruppeM intake and Spoon Sports headers feed into a Saclam Spec A exhaust system, while the chassis has been stiffened with NSX-R and Type S Zanardi bracing components. Suspension duties fall to adjustable Öhlins coilovers, and stopping power comes from Spoon Sports monobloc front calipers paired with NSX-branded rear units. Diamond-cut 16-inch and 17-inch Mugen M7 wheels wear Falken Azenzis rubber, and the cabin has been finished with a Type S Zanardi steering wheel, a matching shift knob, and a short-throw MITA shifter.
This particular example has bounced around the Bring a Trailer ecosystem before. The same car sold on the platform for $115,000 in April 2023, then returned to auction that December, where bidding reached $87,000 without meeting reserve. Its current owner acquired it in 2024, and now, with 48,000 miles on the odometer, it's back in front of bidders again, this time with a current bid of $80,500 and several days left on the clock.
That price swing is worth putting in context. According to Hagerty's valuation tools, a 1992 Acura NSX in number 3, or Good, condition currently carries an average value of about $67,500, up 7 percent recently, while Hagerty's data shows NSXs from this model year selling anywhere from roughly $28,000 to more than $164,000 at public auction over the past three years, depending on mileage, originality, and modification level. Modified examples like this one tend to split buyers: some collectors pay a premium for tasteful, reversible upgrades from respected shops like Spoon Sports and Mugen, while others chase numbers-matching, unmolested cars instead.
Either way, the NSX has quietly become one of the more closely watched Japanese collector cars of the last decade. Honda's original everyday supercar keeps showing up in strong sales, from tribute-spec builds to numbers-matching cars like this 1999 Acura NSX Zanardi Edition, and Acura has now retired the nameplate twice trying to recapture that magic. The current NSX market isn't just about clean survivors, either, as modified cars are increasingly proving they belong on track alongside modern machinery, the way this NSX did when it went wheel to wheel with a Camaro SS, Mustang GT, and Audi RS 3.
With Mohr Imports offering this NSX as part of its broader Monterey Car Week Collection, it's arriving at auction right as the collector car world descends on California for Car Week. Bidding remains open on Bring a Trailer through August 13 for anyone looking to add a modified slice of Honda's F1-derived supercar to their garage.
