Abandoned Honda NSX in the woods is as strange a sight as you’ll ever see

This abandoned Honda NSX was the last thing Russian mushroom pickers expected to find in a forest near St. Petersburg.

They were expecting to mind morels, not a motor.

The Acura NSX, known outside the USA as the Honda NSX, was the world’s first reliable, daily-drivable supercar.

However, sitting there without an engine, it wouldn’t be going far today.

The abandoned Honda NSX

The Honda NSX first drove onto the emerging supercar market in 1990.

It went on to become a favorite of car enthusiasts and collectors alike, and its value soared.

It’s unclear, then, just what this abandoned model was doing sitting amongst the fungi.

Shared to a Reddit thread in 2017, the owner of the engine-less Honda NSX allegedly attempted to sell the car in 2009.

When he was unable to close the deal, it mysteriously disappeared until locals picking mushrooms stumbled across it.

However, rather than being left in situ as a bizarre landmark in the forest, the car was later taken away, cleaned up, inspected, and received a new engine.

Other cars abandoned in the woods

This isn’t the only car found out in nature.

This man went all out to rescue a Ford abandoned in woods for 30 years.

The man was offered a free car if he could save the 1967 Ford Thunderbird that had become stuck and covered with moss and vegetation.

Meanwhile, on a much larger scale in the US, thousands of cars were discovered in the woods in East Tennessee.

The muscle car collection lay parked up in a junkyard in the woods after apparently spending decades outside.

In Germany, this million-dollar car graveyard in a German forest is full of rare motors.

However, it isn’t what it looks like, the 50 classic cars actually form an art installation with a message behind it.
