The Five Most Expensive Honda Car Models of All-Time

2003 Honda HSC Concept

Honda is one of the biggest, most popular, and most successful car manufacturers globally. The company has been around for over 70 years and has produced some of the most iconic and affordable vehicles. In recent years, Honda has also been one of the most innovative automakers, focusing on developing new technologies and bringing them to market quickly. However, Honda is not just a company that makes affordable cars. The company has also produced some of the most expensive cars on the market. Here are the five most expensive Honda car models of all time.

2009 Honda S2000 Ultimate Edition

5. 2009 Honda S2000 Ultimate Edition - $90,000

In the fifth spot on our list is the 2009 Honda S2000 Ultimate Edition. According to Wikipedia, its release commemorated the end of the S2000 production, and it featured several notable changes. These features included a Grand Prix White body color, a removable hardtop, and graphite-colored alloy wheels. It also had a red leather interior and red stitching on its gear lever gaiter. The Ultimate Edition could reach a top speed of 153 miles per hour and accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 6.3 seconds. With a total production run of only 100 units, this is one of the most exclusive Honda cars on the market today. With its sleek and sporty design, this car is perfect for anyone looking to stand out from the crowd. Its powerful engine and high-performance tires make it a joy to drive, while the comfortable interior allows you to cruise in style.

2002 Honda NSX-R

Another highly-priced Honda is the 2002 NSX-R. It was a limited production car, with only 140 being made. It was built in Tochigi, Japan, and had a base price of $150,000. It was a rear-wheel-drive coupe with a mid-engine layout. The curb weight was only 2,800 pounds and had an independent double-wishbone suspension with forged control arms. It also had a rack and pinion steering, and the brakes were carbon-ceramic discs with Brembo brake calipers. The tires were Bridgestone Potenza R070s. The engine was a 3.2L naturally aspirated V6. It produced 290 hp at 7,300 rpm and 224 lb-ft of torque at 5,300 rpm. It could go from 0-60 mph in 4.7 seconds and had a top speed of 168 mph. All these features come together to make the 2002 Honda NSX-R one of the high-end cars available. This edition car is a collector's item, and its value will only continue to rise in the future. The pricing came up high due to the rarity and performance of this vehicle.

2017 Honda NSX

3. 2017 Honda NSX - $202,000

2017 Honda NSX is one of those cars that demands attention. It's low, wide, and mean-looking, with a design that screams "race car." And it is a race car—a street-legal one, that is. The NSX is powered by a twin-turbocharged V6 engine and three electric motors (one at the front and two at the rear), producing 573 horsepower. That's enough to propel the car from 0-60 mph in just 3.2 seconds. The NSX is fast, but it's also incredibly agile and maneuverable. According to U.S. News & World Report, the car can corner quickly and stick to the road like glue thanks to its all-wheel-drive system and advanced traction control. The smooth regenerative brakes, sharp handling, and refined transmission help this car to stand out in its class. It's one of the most fun cars to drive, period. It might be pricey, but it's a great used luxury sports car.

2010 Honda HSV-010 GT500 Super GT

2. 2010 Honda HSV-010 GT500 Super GT - $900,000

Next up, we have the 2010 Honda HSV-010 GT500, a race car that Honda produced to compete in the Super GT series. On December 22, 2009, Honda announced their plans to enter the GT500 class of Super GT, and it did so with a completely new race car called the HSV-010 GT. This car was developed to provide fans with an exciting and enjoyable racing experience. In order to do this, the HSV-010 GT was designed with a focus on speed―the first step in all forms of motorsports. The 2010 Honda HSV-010 GT500 adhered to the regulations set by the Japan Automobile Federation (JAF), which included a 3.4-liter V8 engine and FR layout. It had a double-wishbone suspension with torsion stabilizer bars and 18-inch front/17-inch rear center-locking wheels wrapped in 330/40R18 front and 330/45R17 rear tires. It also features a full dry carbon body construction (except for the roof per Super GT rules). According to Wikipedia, the Honda HSV-010 GT500 made its racing debut at the 2010 Suzuka GT 300km opening round. The car achieved Honda's first Super GT victory in 2010 Okayama GT 300km. Overall, the 2010 Honda HSV-010 GT500 was a very successful race car, and it is still highly sought after by collectors and racing fans alike.

2003 Honda HSC Concept

1. 2003 Honda HSC Concept - $2,000,000

In the first place, we have the famous Honda HSC Concept, a car built with the only purpose of being a showcase for Honda's engineering and design prowess. Some perceived it as the prototype for the future NSX, and as such, it was praised by everyone that had a say on the subject. The HSC looked truly futuristic with its satin-finish carbon fiber body and modern with an aggressive yet slightly retro design inspired by older models of Honda. The car still looks pretty fresh today, even if those large badges and its rather simple design were a turn-off for some. It had its fair share of performance tech, with an aluminum chassis and a mid-mounted V10 engine from Honda's F1 program. The engine was tuned up to 650 hp at 15,000 rpm, but there's nothing available about its torque. The power was sent to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual gearbox, and the car had a curb weight of 3062 lbs (1389 kg). The HSC could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in just 3.1 seconds, and it had a top speed of 205 mph (330 km/h). This car was just a concept, and Honda decided to cancel it. A new NSX was released in 2016, but many people believe that the HSC would have been a better successor for the original model. We can only speculate on what would have happened if this had become a reality.

Conclusion

Honda cars are known for their reliability, affordability, and practicality. But as you can see from this list, they can also be quite expensive. Whether you're looking for a fast race car, a deluxe coupe, or want to show off your wealth, these are some of the most expensive Honda cars on the market today. While some of these cars deserve their high price tags, others are overpriced due to their rarity.
