Check Out These Excellent Acura NSX Concept Drawings

These first few slides show the car in its nearly production-ready form, with the two-tone colors, five-spoke wheels, singular rear taillight (with integrated wing), and pop-up headlights.

This design uses a slightly taller greenhouse and shorter overhangs compared to the previous sketches. Note the shorter wing and fixed headlights. It kind of reminds me of the Jaguar XJR-15.

This one uses an upright rear window design, sort of like the Toyota MR2. This allowed for the artist to add louvers to vent air through the engine bay.

This is probably the most forward-looking sketch of the group. The singular rear light bar, lack of side intakes, and sweet covered wheels certainly stand out.

Interior design sketches range from nearly production-ready to out-right futuristic, as you're about to see.

This interior sketch looks pretty close to the production design, though we don't think the seats had that much empty space behind them.

This design clearly didn't make it very far, but it's incredibly cool. It uses a lot more curvature in the body compared to the production model, and those wheels look like they just came off a C4-generation Corvette.

This yellow sketch sports much different proportions from the other designs, with a long front overhang, shorter rear, and a more upright windscreen.

This is the first real, running, driving concept Acura ended up with. It's the very car that was shown at the Chicago Auto Show on February 9th, 1989.

Here are some pictures from the 1989 show.

And, lastly, the production model next to its modern equivalent. The NSX nameplate has come a long way.
