http://www.7tune.com/wp-content/uplo...12-587x388.jpgThe NSX-R should have came with options to show off the carbon fiber
http://www.7tune.com/wp-content/uplo...-6-587x388.jpgThese dry carbon doors are $8000USD, almost as expensive as the real NSX-R Carbon/kevlar seats.

http://www.7tune.com/wp-content/uplo...13-587x388.jpgNSX-R are usually known for their signature white paint, but factory had a huge variety of options to spec them out in.
http://www.7tune.com/wp-content/uplo...19-587x388.jpgLike this black on black example, golden Brembo calipers were usually reserved for the US market.

Agreed. I was going to say the same, did they really have to fisheye every single picture? Effort is appreciated, except my eyes fucking hurt.

On topic... NSX is such a timeless looking car. Thanks for the share.

underscore 09-23-2011 12:06 AM

save one for the archives, and go drive the rest of them like they are meant to be driven. Too many exotics just get wasted...

mas604 09-23-2011 02:18 PM

A lot of nice clean NSSexes

My friend gave me a ride in his NA1 in Hong Kong about 6yrs ago and he spent an arm to get a steering wheel and a pair of Recaro bucket seats off from a NSX-R. It was a nice enough ride in his NA1. Engine & everything and of course the recaro feels GREAT! Wonder how it's like in a NSX-R...

Guess I will never have a chance to find out unless I go to Japan.

OH GOD I LOVE THE NSX

Timpo 09-28-2011 11:54 AM

nah, i'll be impressed only if they could make this whole thing carbon fiber

Timpo 09-29-2011 04:47 PM

^ ok so why was that a 'FAILED'?

I thought I had a good point...

JoshuaWong 09-29-2011 08:13 PM

Honda probably have/had what it takes to make it fully out of carbon fiber. The HSV-010 (Acura ASCC) NSX replacement was one, it was ready for production.

The NSX's had aluminum in 91, impressive when Ferrari had to wait until the 360 Modena to use it, Audi with the R8, Lambo with the Gallardo etc... literally at least 10 years ahead.

They were the first one to make that white thing out of all aluminum when most maker didn't even think of using aluminum in cars. Honda always had good engineers, but the difference is now their management don't have what it takes to put it to good use.
