Ah, finally some more info:

Esprit is a versatile tuner, building very fast machines out of any JDM car they can lay their hands on. I remember the RB26 powered Z33 they created a few years ago, a car that impressed Keiichi Tsuchiya no end in a Hyper Version DVD. What makes this NSX special is that the Honda 3.2L V6...has been rotated 90º counterclockwise and fitted in a longitudinal position just like Super GT GT500 race cars. It runs a pair of Trust T517Z turbines to get well over 500 HP.

that CRX was fast, even before they posted the results seeing how well it did against the asm s2000, I was expecting a 1:00 lap in Tsukuba. Damn that is fast for a na powered FF car.

Nice video, looks like they left some RPMs / HP on the table during that test. Not that they needed it.

That CRX rips!

O love that dash concept, the screen turned twords the driver, give me some idea on my NSX, wouldnt be hard to make, might give you other options when it comes to radio placemant, cool and I wonder how it feels I mean turning the engine like that,,

This Guy I know who owns RENNON IMPORTS here in tampa, put an 2000 Prelude engine in a Lotus Elise, sounded bad asz but he turned the engine just like this NSX

I think this is the same car a few years ago:

I believe the longitudinal setup was completed recently, so the videos above are with its transversal layout.

The CRX is a true monster, weighing something like 700KG and pretty much beating every street NSX in corners AND straights sans the Esprit Turbo. I believe this was the first Vtech Club race where it lost.

i remember seeing an older video where the CRX whomps on the older style Esprit NSX due to it's power/weight ratio.

Wow i knew Espirint as a company and there NSX products even seen exterior shots of the show car but didn't know about the engine layout i'd love to see the full setup.

Ah, finally some more info:

I believe that the latest tuning It's actually making 699ps (680hp~) One thing I would want to know is how streetable is this? Cause before the engine relocation and transmission swap. It was making around 500hp. And anyone noticed that they use a Nissan/Infiniti Q45 throttle body?
