The Honda NSX Costs £130,000, But That's Not The Only Reason You Can't Buy One
We’ve been expecting the Honda NSX to be rather expensive in the UK, and now we know how expensive. Are you ready? It’s “approximately” £130,000. It’s not quite as bad as some had suggested, with talk of ‘swapping the dollar sign for a pound symbol’ on the car’s $156,000 price in the USA (where it’s badged as an Acura), but still a considerable sum.
That’s about £3000 more than a Porsche 911 Turbo and £10,000 more than the base Audi R8. It’s almost £5000 less than the top spec R8 V10 Plus though, and around £13,000 less than a McLaren 570S.
The problem is, even if you can afford this 550bhp hybrid supercar, you probably can’t buy one. The UK’s entire allocation of 100 cars was snapped up by buyers leaving £5000 deposits way back in 2014, before the production version of the car had even been revealed. Whether or not more cars will be made available in the future, we’ll have to wait and see.
Assuming the NSX was still available, would you buy one, or would you rather the Audi, McLaren, Porsche or something else?

I would take the NSX :)
Gonna be tough explaining to non-car people how your Honda is more expensive than a Porsche 911.
Between a gt3, nsx and a mclaren… Tough one! I’d wait for the Type-R version.
I’d take a usded Audi R8 V8
911 turbo then McLaren and last the R8 but never the NSX
They always try to do Porsche killers, what they end up going? Ask the F-Type…
Honda has a designed it to look super sport, may be somewhat did justice with the specs but absolutely killed this mean machine by pricing it so high, I just compared Audi R8 V10 Plus and McLaren 570GT on this awesome site so though of sharing http://www.sportscarsvs.com/en/2017-audi-r8-v10-plus-vs-mclaren-570gt/comparison-1570-1653-0
