Thanks for the update Penske group owner of Kearny Mesa AcuraImprovements made...nice plates
I have to say Nouvelle Blue is my favorite NC1 color- it makes the car look so exotic and rare.You've seen dad's car. Now it time for the son's, Graham Rahal's #277, 19UNC1B05NY000277. This is the second Novelle Blue Pearl car for Graham after owning a 2017 NSX #055, 19UNC1B03HY000055 (see attached after Graham drove nearly 1000 miles over 2 days, including @grahamrahalperformance customer trackday back in June 2018. This is how he summed up the NSX, "This @Acura#NSX always blows my mind. Docile freeway machine, turned track animal in the twist of a knob. It’s the ultimate everyday supercar perfected by @grahamrahalperformance! Averaged 24.8 mpg, not bad for a 500+ HP monster ." As many of you know, Graham is an American race car driver and small business owner of GRP. He currently participates in the IndyCar Series with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, a team partially owned by his father Bobby Rahal. Like many of us, Graham took the time to visit PMC and take the factory tour to see his new ride, the NSX Type S. #277's options are full red leather seats, the lightweight package (of course), Shark Gray Matte wheels over red calipers and the XM radio technology package. Order from none other than Bobby Rahal Acura and built mid October 2022. Estimated MSPR was $191,995.

End of day update on the next car that caught my attention some time ago, but I needed to first find more pictures and wait for the numerous upgrades to be complete (so far anyways). This one is for you @Ignition_Key. Wow what a build. The aftermarket wheels are amazing. I've always loved silver wheels on the NSX and have said many times before, if I get the opportunity to buy a 2nd set of Type S OEM wheels, I'll will get them and powdercoat 'em matte silver! Before #231, 19UNC1B03NY000231, even left the dealership, Maus Acura of North Tampa, the wheels were replaced before the car left the showroom! Ignition_Key had pre preordered the wheels from MITA (Japan). But....a shot of the fully original configuration just happened to be immortalized by the dealership (see left pic 2nd from the top). Since then, Pride did the install, but he opted for RedStar Downpipes and Exhaust. (Lookout for the video for an amazing symphony of ICE sound), 130R White color matching charged pipes, carbon intake manifold (painted custom Curva red to match the calipers) and H&R springs. This was the 19th 130R White car off the production line in September 2022. Options ordered were full red leather seats, the lightweight package, Shark Gray Matte wheels over red calipers and the XM radio technology upgrade. Estimated MSRP is $185,995. I was told some interior changes are coming too. Can't wait to see.

Enjoyed the video very much
a mistake they will regret down the road.I would think they were traded in...meaning some early msrp buyers decided to use that type S equity to trade up...
