SCOOP from Japan NSX-R GT!
- Thread starter NSXBOX
- Start date
This is an extremely interesting development... if indeed it's true. The rims look a bit simplistic in that diagram though. 
Since it says 04 NSX R GT, sounds like old news to me. If it is news at all.
Ok my sister can read a bit..
its meant to be a ltd edition road going version of the JGTC car..
with viewings starting on the 22nd ..
For sale at 50million Yen 4 x the type R through Honda...
I'm waiting for more pics in the next few days..

If that is the case, probably won't come stateside

Ok... One road going JGTC NSX
OR
Four NSX Type-R's.....
Tough decision.......
Some interesting info..
-----Translation--------------
Due to the fact that the NSX R GT is a race car based type:
1) lowered stanced induced by lower approach angle there is a possibility that the lower skirt may get damaged
2) There is no toe hook on this model
Please let customers know these two facts.
How to order
Currently all NSX orders are placed Via fax and handled through Honda CS Sales division. The SPECIAL LIMITED PRODUCTION NSX R GT (5 units) will be handled in the same way.
General public order time frame
2/22/05 9am to 3/22/05 19:00 pm
Producation start date
04M NSX R GT will start production in August.
-----------End of translation------------
Sounds like the same kinda thing Nissan did with their R390. Built a few so they could call it a production car and entered it into the GT race.
Any Engine info out there?

Why would we know nothing about this??? Surely there are some people in North America that would be interested in this awesome machine.
I still won't believe it until i see it.

I'll ask around (engine) when i order my headlights from honda verno this sunday.
I wonder how close this car will be with the JGTC cars... you know, it's around $500k USD. It's obviously too "cheap" if it's a close replica of JGTC cars with the full carbon fiber body, the race spec suspension, sequential...etc.
But if it's only showing some external wide body kits, special wing, and plastic hatch with the scoop... It is way too expensive, think about even the Carrera GT is less than that!!

WOW!!!
Too bad Honda only making 5! Although at this price its pretty expensive I would think that there would be more people that would want one!
AU_NSX where did you get this brochure?

Oh My God. I Am In Love!
That is crazy...sometimes I think that if Honda were to show it true capability...then the Big 3 would go out of business...
Anyone getting one? Talk about the rarest NSX... :biggrin:
Too bad no left hand drive
A quick check of the current exchange rate says: $474,955.88 USD
I'm out! :wink:

I did some digging and even in Japan there doesn't seem to be any solid info about this car yet. There still a lot of debate about composition (all composite body panels? or a redressed type R?) and power plant (turbo? NA? 280ps? 500ps?)
Anyone have have a clear readable img of the Spec page of the NSX-R GT brochure?

This looks very similar to what nissan just recently did with the 350Z over in japan. They needed to produce a Z-car that was very close to the look of the jgtc racecar I think because you need a production type car to compete I think?
The Z, which very few were made had a longer nose and longer rear bumper and some other stuff done as well I believe.
This makes me wonder if Toyota has been doing something similar with their Supra? Anyone know? But this is why I think we're seeing this NSX variation. I'm very very curious on engine specs though....

Half a mil for that????!!!!! It looks like a Hot Wheels toy!! I would spend the $500k on a Carrera GT!

I think the price is clearly to make it not reachable to the public and make it very low volume.

It will still be rarer than a Carrera GT though.... 5 only worldwide!
I wouldn't mind betting that this will be lighter and faster than both the Enzo and Carrera GT!
Does anyone remember the last limited edition NSX production run of 5 (I think) carbon fibre chassis NSX's developed for Le Mans??

It depends how much it weighs. With a 500HP turbo, it is still going to be 100+ HP shy of both the Enzo and Carrera GT. However, both of those cars weight 3100 lbs. If this is say 2400 lbs, it could be very sweet.
I can't believe they are only making 5!!! What about the US market?? Surely someone in the United States would buy that thing.
For that price it must have a full carbon fiber body. The body on the Saleen S7 costs 100K.
