Not too surprising....

Acura NSX (1990 - 2005)

As the NSX sped toward production, Honda was in the midst of dominating the F1 World Championship. This, plus a healthy Japanese economy allowed engineers to make decisions that were unheard of at the time, based on performance instead of bottom-line cost or mass production efficiency. The "Ferrari fighter" featured the first use of Honda's VTEC variable valve timing system outside Japan, titanium connecting rods, individual coils, magnesium intake and valve covers, an aluminum monocoque chassis and aluminum body panels.

The NSX's mid-ship mounted DOHV V6 makes only 290 horsepower. But the car's light weight, incredible balance and reliability—coupled with low sales expectations—allowed it to stay on the market an incredible 15 years with very few updates. The NSX nameplate is slated to make a comeback in 2009.
 
I logged in this morning and saw that, first thing that came to my mind was, why a blue one? Did they produce more blue than any other color?
