While I believe this lap time, sadly this car was never world-homologated. World homologation is a single most important core of supercar marketing. Had the NSX-R been road-legal to the same degree as potential competitors (i.e. Challenge Stradale, 996 GT3 non-RS, C5 Z06), it would NEVER be this fast. In every straight-line performance metric possible, this car is actually slightly slower (and in some cases, MUCH slower) than those other ones.

This car is just like the TVR Sagaris and maybe the Lotus Esprit Sport 350. They were far too lightweight and/or unsafe to be road-legal for world consumption.

The Honda NSX is a SUPERCAR by all means.

  • Better Reliability than a Ferrari
  • Beats almost everything in the Handling Department (911, Corvette, Ferrari, Lambo, Bugatti, Audi, Mercedes, BMW...)
  • The lightest Sportscar from Japan and still looks fresh.
  • Bespoke V6 engine High-Reving to 8,000 RPM.
  • It's Sexy
  • Type-R is Rare
  • When Turbocharged, it was an easy job tod demolish all the overpriced European cars off the map.

De-Go!

Yeah, That new Miata is just as light as the very first one, Which is incredibly impressive considering the weight of todays cars, Not many cars today with big performance are under 3000lbs, Hell even todays small hatchbacks are 3300lbs..

that's why the Alfa 4c is a breath of fresh air, and so is the mazda mx-5.

but they aren't for sheer lap times. good tire/suspension/computer tech has allowed weight to be less of a factor. But power, however, theres no replacement for that. so cars aren't gonna get much lighter, but certainly more powerful

I wish to see more car manufacturers come out with light weight cars such as the nsx :(
