-----Translation--------------

Due to the fact that the NSX R GT is a race car based type:

2) There is no toe hook on this model

Please let customers know these two facts.

someone reported:
The NSX-R GT Brochure...

- Only 5 units to be manufactured
- 50 million Yen each
- JGTC spec wide body
- Turbocharged engine (so probably around 500hp)

i am not 100% sure on the turbo though. i need to see the spec page of the brochure.

50 Million Yen? I think I'd buy a Murc for that much.. and still have money left over..

[BumpinTalon]

that is an odd looking car. only 5 units? damn collectors are going to be all over that.

OMG... so its basically a street legal JGTC NSX... wow. :drool: :drool: :poosie: :poosie: :eek:

[Xtrema]

JGTC NSX cost about $1M US, this baby is about $1/2M US with full interior and comfort.

And exclusivativity guarantee all 5 will be sold at that price.

[JordanLotoski]

[Hash_man]

Honda city turbo. :thumbsup:

[futurecivic]

yeah fairly cheap for only 5 made
$593 740.43 cdn

[crazydriver]

WOW, nice NSX.. i'd hit it.. then again.. for nearly 600,000, i just might pick up a murcielago

[TypeS]

shit i dont know about you but i'd take a "1of5" car over a "1of1200" car (or however many merci's there are)

plus the NSX is hotter:D

[ZorroAMG]

Did chris bangle or some retarded kid design that scoop? :barf:


Other than that, the car's super hot but IMO not worth all that scratch..

[rage2]

1 of 5... who cares. I'll build my own with my own turbo kit, my own body work, my own ugly air intake scoop. It'll cost $100k and it'll be 1 of 1.

Build 4 more and I'll have 5 of 5, and still money left over.

[E36M3]

Build me one.. I always wanted an NSX.

[hyperwhite]

the roof scoop is hardcore, i love it! :hitit:

[habsfan]

i read somewhere that the roof scoop was added to the JGTC cars because they had the disadvantage of not being turbod, so they needed some way to make more power. the scoop on those cars sucks the air right into the engine for a direct shot of power. thats why its there

I think its because, the car has a mid-rear engine and it gets less airflow then you would with a conventional front-rear powertrain.

last I checked most NSXs in major racing series were either supercharged or turbocharger. and I'm pretty sure my NSX race car in GT4 is turbo but I'll have to double check

[Kamen]

50 million yen is like $588,xxx CAD...wow...
I don't think it looks the best with that fin scoop though...
