New JDM NSX-R

Since we will not be seeing the redesigned NSX for 1-2 years, Honda will be getting this out to renew its flagship's image....

I took a ride in a modified NSX recently (autoX) and was impressed with the performance of the car, but off the show-room floor it just doesn't haul like a $88,000 car should. Japan needs to put aside the outdated (280bhp ceiling) gentlemans agreement and start playing by the rest of the world's rules. Check this out

It looks great but why is there a hoodscoop in the front, when the engine is in the back???

OzRally02, I think it's just for looks. I like it though.

That car is so well balanced, but it eats through tires like it's nobody's business.

I agree, it looks good. They changed it enough to make me like it now!

If the scoop is functional, perhaps it's an air channel to reduce lift in the front. I can't see Honda putting a non-functional scoop on an 'R' car, though...

man, love those fixed headlamps.
