Manufacturer Press Release
|
Honda Motor Co.,
Ltd. has announced the release of the NSX-R, a pure sports edition of
the NSX with further enhanced driving performance. Since its release in
1990, the NSX has continued to evolve, earning accolades as a true
sporting machine. The new NSX-R will go on sale Friday, May 24th at
Honda Verno dealers throughout Japan.
The original NSX-R, released as a pure sports model in November 1992,
enjoyed a three-year limited production run. Now, seven years later, it
is being reintroduced in an all-new form.
The new NSX-R represents a further evolution of the painstaking weight
reduction, circuit-tuned suspension refinement, and high-precision
engine balancing cultivated in the previous-generation NSX-R. Newly
developed aerodynamic devices further enhance high-speed performance,
resulting in greater driving performance and handling stability than in
its previous incarnation.
A
carbon fiber hood with outlet duct, finned front under-cover,
rear diffuser, carbon fiber rear spoiler, and other innovations
create a degree of negative lift rarely seen in a street-ready
car.
This downforce facilitates a quantum leap in the car's driving
performance and handling stability at high speeds. |
| Racecar-like
responsiveness and powerful acceleration are achieved through
high-precision balancing of the crankshaft assembly --- a
measure unheard of in production engines --- along with a
recalibrated final gear ratio, DBW (Drive By Wire) electronic
throttle control, and other specialized tuning. |
| The
suspension has been hard-tuned to cope with the added downforce,
and custom-designed high-grip tires, precision custom chassis
tuning, and slitted brake disc rotors with stronger brake pads
for potent stopping power have been added, creating a level of
handling performance that delivers spirited driving pleasure on
or off the circuit. |
| In
addition to weight reduction measures inherited from the
previous-generation NSX-R, the new model employs carbon fiber
aerodynamic devices formed using special advanced technologies
for even greater weight savings. |
Negative lift for improved aerodynamic performance
| Aerodynamic
lift at the front of the car has been reduced to below zero
through the use of a carbon fiber hood with an air outlet duct
and a finned front under-cover. |
| A
rear diffuser and carbon fiber rear spoiler reduce rear lift to
below zero as well. |
| The
surface area of the front condenser duct opening has been
optimized to control airflow through the body's interior. |
Engine and transmission tuning
| The
V6 3.2L DOHC VTEC engine employs racing engine assembly
technology for enhanced output efficiency and nimble response. |
|
| Precision
balancing of pistons and connecting rods between each
cylinder |
| Precision
dynamic balancing of crankshaft, clutch case, and pulley
assembly |
| Bearing
metal measured and matched for more precise metal
clearances and reduced friction |
|
| A
lower final gear ratio delivers increased acceleration
performance. |
| Custom-tuned
DBW and a decreased accelerator pedal stroke offer improved
acceleration response. |
| A
pre-loaded LSD (limited-slip differential) is employed, with a
custom preset weight. |
Running gear and chassis tuning
| A
hard-tuned suspension, more rigid body, and special roll
rigidity balance settings result in superior handling
performance in tight turns. |
|
| Increased
spring rate |
| Increased
damping rate in dampers |
| Firmer
bushings for damper mounts, rear control arms, etc. |
| Stronger
stabilizer bars |
| Stronger
front and rear tower bars |
|
| Custom-designed
high-grip tires are adopted. (Bridgestone Potenza RE070?front:
215/40R17; rear: 255/40R17) |
| Lightweight
forged aluminum wheels (painted a special Championship White)
have been jointly developed with BBS (Washibeam Co., Ltd.). |
| Slitted
16-inch brake disc rotors and stronger brake pads deliver
increased fade resistance. |
| The NSX-R is
also fitted with a high-response brake master power cylinder and
custom-tuned ABS. |
Painstaking weight reduction
| The
introduction of carbon fiber parts formed using advanced
technologies has resulted in further weight reduction. |
|
| Carbon
fiber front hood with outlet duct, formed of CFRP
(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic) using an autoclave |
| Large,
hollow-form, one-piece carbon fiber rear spoiler --- a
world first in a production car*1 --- with
built-in high-mount brake light |
|
| Other
painstaking weight reduction measures include: |
| Lighter
wheels, smaller battery*2, lighter rear
damper beam, removal of spare tire (replaced with
aerosol-type puncture repair kit), elimination of power
door locks and electric adjustable side mirrors, thinner
rear partition glass, lightweight floor carpeting,
elimination of floor undercoating and melt sheet,
elimination of rear bulkhead insulator, elimination of
trunk opener switch, and so on. |
