How many 1993 NSX were made?
Approximately 1,000 to 1,500 units were produced for the 1993 NSX, though there is no official year-by-year production tally published by Honda/Acura. Estimates come from enthusiast registries and historical summaries rather than a public Honda record.
The NSX, the first-generation NA1 model, was manufactured from 1990 through 1995. Because Honda did not routinely publish detailed annual production by model year, the exact count for 1993 remains a best-available estimate rather than an official figure. The 1993 model year sits in the middle of the first-generation run, which collectively accounts for the majority of the NSX’s early history and its growing collector interest.
Production context
The first-generation NSX (designated NA1) marked Honda’s entry into a mid-engine sports car with a focus on precision engineering and daily usability. From its launch in 1990 to the end of its run in 1995, production numbers were relatively modest compared with mainstream sports cars, contributing to the model’s rarity today. While total NA1 NSX production is often cited in the tens of thousands globally, public breakdowns by model year were not routinely released, complicating precise year-by-year tallies for 1993.
Estimated figures and sources
Below is a synthesis of what collectors and registries commonly report, noting the lack of official public data from Honda/Acura. The list reflects typical ranges used by enthusiasts when discussing 1993 NSX production.
- No official year-by-year production figures are released by Honda/Acura; counts are drawn from registries, archives, and dealer histories.
- Estimated 1993 model-year NSX production generally falls in the 1,000–1,500 unit range, depending on whether counts are aligned to model year or calendar year.
- Across the entire first-generation NA1 era (1990–1995), total NSX production is commonly cited in the high thousands to around twenty thousand worldwide, with 1993 contributing a meaningful but not dominant share.
Because Honda has not published a firm year-by-year breakdown, these figures remain educated estimates based on available registries and historical summaries. The 1993 NSX’s rarity is one of the factors that has kept it in the spotlight among collectors and automotive historians.
Calendar year vs. model year considerations
Some sources distinguish between calendar-year production and model-year designation, which can shift the counted figure by small margins. For collectors seeking precise numbers, this distinction can matter when comparing records from different registries or auction houses. The overall impression remains that 1993 produced a relatively modest portion of the NA1 run.
Summary
In short, the exact number of 1993 NSX units is not publicly confirmed by Honda, but most credible enthusiast sources estimate about 1,000 to 1,500 cars for that year. The lack of an official breakdown means the figure is best understood as an informed estimate within the broader context of the NSX’s first-generation production run.
