How many 1992 Acura NSX were made?
There is no single publicly released production total for the 1992 model year NSX from Honda/Acura. Most credible references place the figure in the low thousands globally, with estimates varying by region and by whether you count different market variants.
The 1992 question touches on how Acura reported NSX numbers, the difference between model years and calendar years, and the split between US, Japanese, and other markets. This article outlines what is known, why numbers vary, and where to look for more precise counts.
Understanding the NSX production context
The NSX was produced in limited volumes in the early 1990s, and Honda/Acura did not routinely publish a detailed breakdown by model year or market. Enthusiast registries and automotive historians compile estimates from VIN ranges, dealer records, and factory documentation when accessible, which yields ranges rather than a single official tally for 1992.
- Global production for the NSX from its introduction in 1990 was relatively low compared with mainstream sports cars, reflecting its premium positioning and cost considerations.
- Regional variations (Japan, the United States, Europe) mean that a figure labeled “1992 NSX” can differ depending on whether late-year builds or regional variants are included.
- Estimates from registries commonly place the 1992 share of NSX production in the low thousands globally, but there is no universal consensus due to incomplete public documentation.
Regardless of the exact count, the 1992 NSX remains a relatively rare early example of Honda’s mid-engine sports car, and values in collector markets reflect the limited production and desirability of the era.
Where to look for more precise numbers
For readers seeking the most precise figure, consider sources frequently used by collectors and enthusiasts that compile year-by-year data and VIN information.
- NSX Owners Club archives and VIN registries, which track individual chassis numbers and model-year designations.
- Honda/Acura historical production data and communications from automotive historians or corporate archives.
- Reference books and published compilations that document NSX production by year and market.
Because precise annual counts are not publicly published in a single centralized source, the best approach is to triangulate across multiple registries and records, noting that estimates carry some degree of uncertainty.
Summary
The exact number of 1992 Acura NSX units produced is not publicly confirmed by Honda/Acura. Estimates typically place the global count for that model year in the low thousands, with regional differences and registry methods introducing variability. Collectors and enthusiasts rely on VIN registries and archival sources to approximate the figure, acknowledging inherent uncertainty.
