Here’s the plan: We get ourselves a Honda NSX-R and hold the world ransom for—dramatic pause and pinky finger to corner of mouth—one million dollars.
Yep, Dr. Evil would certainly approve, because the NA2 Honda NSX is now officially a $1-million car.
That’s because this 2003 NSX-R just sold at Broad Arrow’s Villa d'Este auction for $1,064,257 (around P59.4 million). That’s a heck of a lot of money for a 3.2-liter V6—we hope the owner has some cash left over for a pair of leather loafers.

This particular NSX-R—one of fewer than 140 NA2s ever built—has just under 16,000km on the clock and is finished in the perfect combo of Championship White paint with a red alcantara interior. Matching white BBS wheels, too.
Broad Arrow said the classic Japanese supercar attracted bidders from the UK, Australia, Argentina, South Africa, and the US, with a head-to-head duel to win the thing ultimately setting a world record for an original NSX at auction.
So, has the world officially gone mad—or is the price justified for one of Honda’s greatest-ever creations?
