Here is the first picture of the new legendary NSX-R street car
with license plate OF-RD 86 (tested at northern loop with laptimes between 7.55 and 8.05 minutes). It was official HONDA test car.
The race car is the same car as tested, but now with a lot of nice racing modifications.
Dali-Racing sended some racing and cf parts too, also a lot of technical advices. Thx for that.
Its a picture from the last 4h test-race, made last weekend.

Actually the car is around 30 secondes faster in one lap, but it will be more until the race.

It's not the 'rudder' that helps steer the direction of that huge wing? ;)



This is what MYNSX or JZ's cars would look like if they were into 'white' and not yellow. :D
 
Great Pics!

THANSX!!!
 
hi Detlef,

Thanks for the update and the pictures.
I think this is the NSX-R that Horst von Sauma from SportAuto Magazin will race in the 24hours or not.
Last time I read about it they didn't want to change anything on the engine but I see they have done a lot of things on the rest of the car.
Do you think they have a chance against all the Porsches and M3's that will race there to ??
 
Technical specs

Yes, this is the NSX-R driven by the sport auto guys (and one girl)
The engine is stock, the gear box with shorter 3,4 and 6 gear.
This year it will be very diificult to get a good final result.
There are probably 80 cars with more than 400 HP, all the DTM Audis and Opels,
The Porsche Turbos and GT3RR, Nissan Skyline and Dodge Viper, BMW M3 V8 GTRS
etc.

The NSX Type R runs with follow specs:
(Most of the mods comes from the german industry sponsors, some also from a famous californian guy)

Lot of downforce, urgent if it will rain…

If the car will run without problems, an excellent result could be possible. I hope it.
Next year Honda plan to race with an japanese JGTC car.

I hope this is not an official Honda works car, it looks like a total hack job.

Yup, it sure is a "hack job" if I ever saw one. Do you hate every car that isn't yours or what?

sigh - this forum is amazing.
