Honda NSX-R
The 1995 Honda NSX-R (NA1) is a lightweight, track-focused homologation special designed to extract maximum analog performance from Honda's mid-engine platform. Stripped of sound deadening, air conditioning, and power amenities, it features a blueprinted 3.0L V6 VTEC engine, a stiffened chassis tuned with input from Ayrton Senna, and weight-saving Kevlar Recaro seats. Limited to strictly 483 units for the Japanese domestic market, it stands as one of the purest driver's cars ever built.
Unmatched mechanical feel and throttle response; the razor-sharp handling, lightweight chassis, and raw VTEC induction noise make every drive feel like a true motorsport experience.
