An NSX-R with homologation parts for the JGTC cars.

Yes, it's the point of homologating the parts for the race cars. They need to sell 'X amount' of road cars featuring the homologated parts, in order to use them on the JGTC cars.
It's just a NSX-R underneath the deeper, longer bumpers and roof intake.

That video was brilliant! :approve:
Turbos.
LOL! To be fair though, he is an intelligent bloke and also races. Better opinion than most...
Turbos.
I think they may have made 1 NSX-R GT. The others are replicas. Probably the best one in terms of how it is meant to look (but note US spec side repeaters giving the game away)...
Spoon have two, one with ITBs and one with a Turbo.
Purely made for homoglation purposes. Priced at £250k so no one would actually order one...

Utterly fit. On the (very) rare occasion I see an NSX on the road, I just gawp at it.
Amazing looking cars. And I love all the geeky qualities about it. They are about as far removed from satisfying the bean-counters and profit lines of a car manufacturer as possible. Imagine putting the draft copy of the NSX program onto the boards' desk at Audi? Their heads would explode.

Saw this on a Honda stand a few years ago, its the only NSX ive ever seen. Love the exclusivity of them and that most people wouldnt even know what it is, thats the whole appeal.
Would gladly give my left testicle for one.

Is it just me, or does the bonnet look a different colour to the bumper in the first pic?
Anyway, absolutely amazing cars..... used to see red one every morning when my mum used to take me to school back in the day..... fell in love soon as I saw it.
I know its well known that they never sold especially well here in the UK, but were they popular stateside (as an Acura)?
I only wonder as I always seem to see a lot of US owners (and assume they must be quite popular over there), and wonder if they were that popular in the US, why did Honda never get round to developing a replacement for purely commercial reasons?

They started, then recession etc kicked in.
My old man was one of the 1st people on the uk list. Gutted when it was canned.

^^^^
Wasn't that the HSC concept though?
IIRC, the actual replacement developed that gets run in a Japan GT series was front engined right?
I guess what I meant was, if the NSX was a commercial success in the US, shouldn't a replacement have come earlier anyway ie. before the recession kicked off?
I'm sure plenty would argue that it was a sign of the NSX's greatness that it went so long without replacement, but I still find it a bit odd.....

As you can see, he is pretty chuffed with his 56 second lap. It is N/A on road tyres. These times put it into context.
