The first generation of NSX cars were manufactured from 1991 to 2005. These vehicles are also identified by the codes NA1 and NA2. The NA1 model, typically recognized by its popup headlights, contrasts the NA2 version produced between 2002 and 2005, which features fixed headlights. However, this categorization can be confusing because the NA2 variant from 1997 to 2001 still comes with popup headlights but is equipped with a 3.2L engine.
When it comes to the NSX-R aka aNSX Type R models, identification is far simpler. The NA1-R version includes the popup headlights, while the NA2-R model is designed with fixed headlights.
The 25-year import rule in the United States is a key regulation in vehicle importation, stating that only automobiles older than 25 years can be legally imported for road use. Conceived under the Imported Vehicle Safety Compliance Act of 1988, this rule was implemented to curb the importation of ‘gray market cars’— foreign vehicles not compliant with US standards. While safeguarding automakers’ interests, it also ensures that imported cars have historical significance, thereby balancing market dynamics and automobile heritage.
