For sale: Honda NSX-R. It's in Hong Kong and is one of roughly 140 cars made. Perfect excuse for a visit, then...
Torque: 224 lb-ft @ 5,300 rpmSince the 2002 Honda NSX-R was based on the NA2 coupe, it was the beneficiary of an enhanced version of the 3.2L DOHC V6 employed in the aforementioned. Also piggybacking on the refresh was the use of a 6-speed manual transmission, as opposed to the 5-speed that was mated to the NA1 version’s 3.0L unit. In typical Honda fashion, the manual gearbox in the NSX-R is about as good as it ever gets with three pedals.
The full rotating assembly was balanced to a level of accuracy which was ten times that of the regular NSX engine. While not technically increasing power output, this process resulted in significantly better throttle response and a more free-reving and ultimately, a better performing engine. This has led many to speculate that the 2002 Honda NSX-R’s rated 290-horsepower @ 7,300 rpm and 224 lb-ft of torque @ 5,300 rpm, is likely understated in order to satisfy the agreement.
Carbon fiber was not reserved only for the car’s body, as Recaro carbon-kevlar racing seats replaced the standard leather seats, while lighter and stronger forged versions of the 17” wheels were installed. Where, when and how this could be considered an improvement over the regular NSX, is where things really matter. Once at speeds of over 80 km/h – and certainly while driving through road courses with long, winding and sweeping corners – the absence of power steering really starts to make a lot of sense.
Much like the car it is based on, the NSX-R has excellent visibility from inside the cockpit and is ergonomically efficient with an ideal seating position and thoughtfully placed instrumentation, buttons, knobs, and switches. As is traditional Honda demeanor, there is nothing particularly fancy or outstanding inside, but everything comes together as it needs to.
