HONDA NSX Type-R
 May 2002. Honda added the new NSX type-R that further enhanced driving performance. The previous NSX type-R was released as limited production of three years in November, 1992. Then, seven years later, it was reintroduced in an all new form.
The NSX type-R has improved aerodynamics to significantly increase vehicle
stability and cornering performance at high speeds. Aerodynamic lift of
the NSX type-R has been reduced to below zero through the use of a carbon
fiber hood with air outlet duct, finned front under cover, a rear diffuser
and a carbon fiber rear spoiler.
The V6 3.2L DOHC engine employs racing engine assembly technology, such
as precision balancing of pistons and connecting rods between each cylinder,
for enhanced output efficiency and nimble response. Moreover, the engine
employs the same kind of high precision dynamic balanced clutch cover,
fly wheel and pulley assembly as is used in racing engines. To obtain the
maximum effect of this high-precision balancing, weight tolerances of the
piston and connecting rod pairs has been controlled to within about half
that of the base model NSX. The electronically-controlled Drive by Wire(DBW)
throttle has been tuned to reach full throttle at a pedal angle reduced
from the previous 81 degrees to 68 degrees, resulting in an accelerator
pedal stroke reduction of some 8mm.
A hard-tuned suspension, more rigid body, and special roll rigidity balance
settings has been resulted in superior handling performance in tight turns.
Specially designed POTENZA RE070 tires with an asymmetrical tread pattern
was selected, and lightweight forged aluminum wheels that have been jointly
developed with BBS was adopted. The NSX type-R is also fitted with 16 inches
slit-surfaced brake rotors, high performance brake pads, a high response
brake master power cylinder and custom-tuned ABS.
The interior of the NSX type-R is equipped with a ball-shaped titanium
shift knob, a lightweight mesh shift boot, a leather wrapped MOMO steering
wheel, and RECARO carbon fiber Aramid full bucket seat. The shift indicator
uses green and red lights which flash then light up to indicate the power
peak and rev limit, respectively, promoting more precise up shifting.
The introduction of carbon fiber parts has resulted in further weight reduction.
Moreover, the rear partition glass has been made thinner and high-matt
rubber employed in the instrument panel, for painstaking weight reduction
right down to the last gram.
