Honda NSX-R NA1

Honda E-NA1 NSX-R (1992) Although the NSX was a high-performance sportscar, it was still developed with comfort and street driving in mind. The NSX-R was Honda's answer to the track driving enthusiast. Changes included extensive weight reduction via removing elements such as sound deadening, the audio system, the air conditioning system and the traction control system. ABS however was retained. The seats were replaced by specially developed Recaro carbon-kevlar racing seats and the shift knob was replaced by a titanium alternative. Steering wheel was also changed and the interior received a red-colored theme. The red Honda badge was specially reserved for the Type-R. The original NSX, while predictable and easy to drive on the road, was reported to produce unwanted oversteering behavior when pushed on the track in certain conditions such as braking into a slow turn. To counteract this, the suspension setup of the NSX-R is more understeer biased, with more roll stiffness in the front compared to the rear and less body movement, allowing expert drivers to achieve faster laptimes. Spring rates were changed from 3.20kgf/mm and 3.80kgf/mm to dual-rate 8.00kgf/mm and dual-rate 6.00kg
