The story behind the '90 Acura NSX
The '90 Acura NSX represents a golden era for Japanese sports cars, capturing the sleek lines that made it an instant icon upon its arrival decades ago. Hot Wheels brought this classic back to life in 2016 as part of their Then and Now series. This release is particularly exciting because it appears as a Super Treasure Hunt rather than just a standard model. These special releases are much harder to find on store shelves compared to regular Mainline cars. They feature unique paint finishes that give them a premium look. The Spectraflame finish seen here adds depth and shine that sets this miniature apart from its everyday counterparts, making it a prized addition for anyone tracking down rare finds.
Materials, colors and value
This model sits on the standard 1/64 scale used by most Hot Wheels releases. While many sports cars feature metal bodies, this specific casting utilizes plastic to keep weight low while maintaining detailed styling cues like side intakes and spoilers. The car comes in a striking blue colorway that changes depending on the version you find. Collectors will spot plain Blue versions alongside highly sought after Spectraflame Blue editions with metallic reflections. Black bases provide contrast for all variations, keeping wheels sharp against the ground.
Questions about the '90 Acura NSX
How can I tell if my '90 Acura NSX is a Super Treasure Hunt?+
Look closely at the paint job on your model. Standard versions have regular blue plastic bodies, while the special edition features Spectraflame Blue with metallic flakes that shimmer under light. This unique finish indicates it belongs to the limited Super Treasure Hunt group rather than the standard Mainline assortment found in most stores.
Is this car worth anything beyond regular price?+
Yes, especially if you have the Spectraflame version. Since these were produced in smaller quantities during 2016 releases, they are harder to track down today. Collectors often pay more for Super Treasure Hunts because of their rarity and special paint jobs compared to common models sitting on local store shelves.
Who designed this specific version of the Acura NSX?+
Ryu Asada served as the designer responsible for shaping this miniature replica. He worked closely within Hot Wheels design teams during that period to ensure details matched original blueprints accurately while adapting them successfully into 1/64 scale proportions suitable for modern collectors worldwide.
