Ouch! Using that strict definition, the 2002 NSX-R would be a sportscar but the other NSXs would just be coupes.According to Honda, the 2002 NSX-R generates front and rear downforce, the regular 2002 NSX generates front and rear lift, and the pre-facelift NSXs generate overall lift. When Sport Auto put a 2002 NSX-R into Mercedes' fixed floor wind tunnel, they measured front and rear downforce but when they put a regular 1997 NA2 coupe in there, they measured front and rear lift. Not much, but there was some (at 200 km/h, the 1997 coupe generated 78.7 Newtons of lift at the front and 134 Newtons at the rear).
