The first production model of the all new Acura NSX was sold at an auction in the U.S.A last week, fetching almost 10 times its book price at a cool $1.2 million (S$1.71 million).
The car featuring the coveted #001 VIN number was bought by Rick Hendrick, owner of the Hendrick Motorsports NASCAR team, with every dollar raised donated to children's charities - the Paediatric Brain Tumour Foundation (North Carolina) and Camp Southern Ground (Georgia).
Bidding for the car topped the $1 million (S$1.41 million) dollar mark at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2016 auction on the evening of Friday 29th January, making it the highest charity sale of a VIN #001 manufacturer car in the auctioneer’s 45-year history. A renowned collector of first edition performance cars, Rick Hendrick will add the very special NSX to his museum collection in Charlotte, North Carolina.
