Honda Motor Co. will begin manufacturing and supplying genuine replacement parts for its iconic first-generation NSX sports car, the automaker confirmed Tuesday, marking a significant move for enthusiasts and restorers of one of Japan’s most legendary performance vehicles.

The parts program is set to launch in 2026 and will support owners of the original NSX, which debuted in 1990 as a mid-engine, aluminum-bodied supercar engineered to challenge Ferrari-level performance with Honda’s hallmark reliability. The move is likely to be welcomed by collectors and restorers, many of whom have struggled in recent years to source factory-spec components for aging vehicles.

Honda cited advancements in manufacturing, including remanufacturing and 3D printing, as key enablers of the new initiative. The company noted that these technologies have “expanded the range of possibilities” for producing discontinued components to meet modern quality standards.

The forthcoming parts will be designated as “genuine compatible parts,” meaning they meet Honda’s official standards for performance and function despite being manufactured using updated methods.

Although details about the specific parts and ordering processes are expected later this fall, Honda confirmed that the initiative will expand beyond the NSX. The company teased support for other “sports-type models,” sparking speculation that the S2000, Civic Type R, and even older Integras and Preludes could receive similar treatment.

The move mirrors steps taken by other Japanese automakers. Toyota’s GR Heritage Parts program and Nissan’s Nismo Heritage initiative have both launched in recent years to keep aging enthusiast cars on the road amid growing collector demand and the broader shift toward electric vehicles.

Honda is reportedly working on a next-generation, all-electric NSX. If that car debuts, the brand’s renewed commitment to legacy models could serve as a timely bridge between its past and future performance vehicles.
