Re: White 02-05

strabge when I was looking at new NSX's 2 years ago there was no way to get white/white on Acura's website. The white isn't really white, is it? its kind of an off white, right?

Re: White 02-05

Here you go: W/black Zanardi mats

That look more like off white then white.

Well this is the first car with white interior I've ever owned but I have seen many older Ivory NSX interiors and in my eyes this is definitely whiter than those... it has a ways to go to being equal to the GP White exterior though.

Another thing I'd like to say about the white/black interior....thank goodness there's lots of black contrast + the mats help visually too. Having owned 4 other NSX's with onyx, I now really like the open airy feeling the light color gives the interior of this NSX.....It looks great IMO!

I really like a lighter interior on a sports car too. However on sport sedan like my S amg I prefer a black interior.

I did enjoy my '02 Silver/Silver combo...light and airy is the right way to put it as you said.

Re: White 02-05

yes, Acura calls it white, but it isn't really white when you compared to some European cars with white leather interior. But it is clearly lighter than the tan interior when you compare side by side. Here is a link for my build sheet which indicates INT: WHITE

Re: White 02-05

Hey CARBOY219 - can you send some pictures of yours in so we can see better on the interior? and can we please have the others add too the list!

2001 White Coupe

Expensive, but it would make an nice base for a NSX-R replica.

I've been on Prime for 1 year. I've seen 2-3 GPW and 2 Zanardi's for sale in that time.

is this seller positive this is a 2001? It looks like it's a coupe.. and is the roof color even right to be considered for the year? I thought 2001's came with a solid color top that matched the rest of the body?

VIN label indicates 2-01 production date
That certainly seems more rare than the 182 sold in US as the ad says. I wonder how many of that body style were even built for 01 MY?

so is there a story behind this magical "2001 COUPE"?

2 Coupes were built in 2001, the white one you are looking at, and a red one.

In fact, the white one is the *only* white US-Spec NA2 3.2L Coupe ever built.

The ad is incorrect, there were only 167 US-Spec NSX of all variations in 2001.

Re: White 02-05

Just that it can't seem to find a good home. :frown:

It's been up for sale and changed hands every few years since 2001.
