Eligible for import to AustraliaCompliance Available
The Honda NSX Type S NC1 is approved for import to Australia under the SEVS Performance Criterion. Each example carries a 3.5L twin-turbo V6 hybrid engine, a automatic gearbox, and all-wheel drive. We source through approved Japanese auctions, arrange inspection where possible, bid with your approval, and manage import and compliance support end to end.
This Honda NSX Type S NC1 is approved for import to Australia under SEVS approval SEV-000525, all granted on the Performance Criterion, supported by 3 Model Report Entries (MREs) MRE-000412, MRE-000517 and MRE-000519 from accredited Australian Vehicle Verifiers including SYDNEY AVV PTY LTD. Approvals cover builds from Oct 2021 to Oct 2022.
Why qualified — Performance Criterion. Approvals granted under the SEVS Performance Criterion apply to vehicles that demonstrate a substantially superior performance specification — for example, power-to-weight, acceleration, or another measurable performance metric — compared with vehicles supplied to the Australian market in volume. Eligibility is build-specific: the exact build years, variants and model codes named on the approval are the binding reference.
