Johnny Lightning casted the Acura NSX-T in 1:64 scale for a 1996 run but had
to shelf their plans due to licensing issues (at the time, American Honda was
very protective about their trademarks and designs). Finally, they
licensed it in 2003 and issued a limited edition of 5000 cars in black and in
red. The casting is about average for this scale. The wheels and
tires are oversized. The tires are rubber but have Firestone Firehawk SS
in white on the sidewalls (which the NSX never came with from the factory).
The wheels are a 5-spoke chromed design which doesn't go well with the car. The
distinguishing features of the NSX-T are noticeable - the targa roof lines and
the hump in the engine cover.
The grey interiors are reasonably accurate except for the center console and
model the LHD configuration of the Acura instead of the more typical RHD models
of JDM Honda NSXs.
Here's the Street Freak edition of the NSX that comes
with a collector card
The white lightning version
A series 7 version
The Coca Cola branded NSX was released in 2005 as part of the Johnny
Lightning Coca Cola series of cars. This blister card included a Coke
tin box. The interior of the car is two tone - ivory seat with black
dash. The most unusual aspect of this release are the chrome hubcap
looking wheels!
