The Honda NSX Costs £130,000, But That's Not The Only Reason You Can't Buy One

Approximate UK pricing for Honda's supercar has been announced at the Geneva motor show, although even if you can afford the steep figure, you probably can't buy one
The Honda NSX Costs £130,000, But That's Not The Only Reason You Can't Buy One

We’ve been expecting the Honda NSX to be rather expensive in the UK, and now we know how expensive. Are you ready? It’s “approximately” £130,000. It’s not quite as bad as some had suggested, with talk of ‘swapping the dollar sign for a pound symbol’ on the car’s $156,000 price in the USA (where it’s badged as an Acura), but still a considerable sum.

That’s about £3000 more than a Porsche 911 Turbo and £10,000 more than the base Audi R8. It’s almost £5000 less than the top spec R8 V10 Plus though, and around £13,000 less than a McLaren 570S.

The problem is, even if you can afford this 550bhp hybrid supercar, you probably can’t buy one. The UK’s entire allocation of 100 cars was snapped up by buyers leaving £5000 deposits way back in 2014, before the production version of the car had even been revealed. Whether or not more cars will be made available in the future, we’ll have to wait and see.

Assuming the NSX was still available, would you buy one, or would you rather the Audi, McLaren, Porsche or something else?

You can’t have one, because there is none to be had? Makes sense…

I reckon that the NSX is a good looking car, but this is the first hybrid supercars from Honda -At least what I heard of- plus the price tag? It’s way too expensive for the last reason. TOO expensive!

Honda has taken completely wrong step with this NSX. They should have taken approach same as Mazda MX5 (keeping it clean and simple)

NSX means New Sportscar eXperimental so I guess it’s okay for it be berserk in technology
