Welcome to Project NSX!
Thanks for visiting. This site is dedicated to our UK based
Honda NSX, which has evolved from a road car, to track day car, to
a full blown race car. There is also information on the NSX's
history and other notable race NSXs from around the world. This
is a 'work in progress' and we are always looking for help on
filling holes when it comes to the history of the NSX. So far we
have had help from people in American, Japan and even a mechanic
that worked on the Le Mans NSX.
The Honda NSX - or Acura NSX - was built between 1990 and 2005
in a dedicated factory built by Honda. The company wanted to prove
their engineering ability and take on the likes of Ferrari and
Porsche, with the aim of beating them at their own game.
Despite it's extraordinarily long life cycle, the NSX survived
with surprisingly few changes. In Japan, they were lucky to get
many types of NSX including the NSX-R, Type S and Type S-Zero. In
the USA, there was the Alex Zandari edition, based on the JDM Type
S. No other markets were fortunate enough to get their own special
NSX.
The NSX competed in Le Mans for 3 years running. Honda Germany
have also supported cars for the German ADAC GT series. Some
modified production NSXs have been raced in some parts of Europe
and the USA too. In Japan, the NSX has competed in the Super GT (née JGTC)
since 1997. Last year, it won the 2007 championship.
