Who's picking one up? 🙋‍♂️
Sold for $251,033 USD at auction! The auction for Sold for $251,033 USD at auction!

The auction for Tony Stark's Acura NSX Roadster from Marvel’s 2012 film The Avengers closed on Saturday, fetching $251,033. Proceeds from the auction will go to a charity of the winning bidder’s choice.

While its custom-built body was inspired by the second-generation NSX Concept, the Roadster is actually built on the underpinnings of a 1991 first-generation Acura NSX.

Created specifically for The Avengers, the one-of-a-kind movie car has been preserved in its on-screen condition, complete with the distinctive “STARK 33” license plate. 

What do you think? Should Acura have put the NSX Roadster into production?
