They probably consulted Porsche on how to price options

Those prices may (?) come down if or when more aftermarket-options become available.

Palette of colors is a huge downgrade compared to '02 NSX. I would love to see that Nord Gray guy

Looks like they really tried hard on the options to make it more customizable but its no where near where it should be. But I do like those $10K wheels, really different stuff.

The only reasonably priced item is the $50 cargo net. Everything else is outrageous!

No carpets or mats is a $2000 weight saving option.

Fast forward to today

I found a dealer out of state selling at list and got their third allocation with only a $1k refundable deposit

A 10% deposit will be needed when they place the order

Congrats on the purchase, would love to be able to buy a new NSX. Which color/options did you get?

Thanks UDel

I think I am 5 to 8 months from a car (guessing).

The dealer said ordering (that has been confirmed by Acura) will be in Feb, Mar and April, but dealers haven't been told when they can order their first allocations.

A lot of info is being dripped out to the dealers so more useful info should come soon. It is not clear if the second car can be ordered prior to delivery of the first.

He believes the delivery location can be set to somewhere other than the dealership.

I asked him if some sort of test drive is in the works (maybe a bunch of folks go to a local track an drive the pre-production cars) and he will look into that.

Here is the spec (came out to $173,300)

Color and Trim
Exterior Color: 130R White
Interior Color: Saddle
Seats: Semi-aniline leather and black Alcantara power sport seats
Exterior
Exterior Package: Exterior sport package
Roof: Back Aluminum, no satellite antenna
Rear Spoiler: No rear spoiler
Engine Cover: Engine cover (NOT CARBON FIBER)
Brakes: Carbon-ceramic rotors
Calipers: Black
Wheels: Signature Y spoke
Tires: Michelin
Interior
Technology Package, ELS studio audio (NO XM radio)
Interior Package: Signature interior package (NO CARBON FIBER)
Headliner: Black Alcantara

That's awesome, I love white sports cars and the saddle interior is going to look really nice, if I got one in white I would equip it mostly like yours except I might get the rear spoiler. I don't know about the carbon ceramic rotors though, I am sure they are great on the track but that is still a big chunk of money to pay for brakes though not out of line with what other manufactures charge.
