Honda Acura NSX Type R
In spite of the fact that the NSX already had rivals in Ferrari and Porsche, Honda came to the conclusion that it could accomplish even more with the NSX. As a result, they came to the conclusion that the NSX needed a variant that was more focused on performance and included an engine that was more potent as well as a lighter body. Engineers from Honda began with a standard NSX coupe and immediately began an intensive program to cut the vehicle's overall weight. Some of the sound deadening material, the audio system, the spare tire, the air conditioning system, and the traction control system were removed, as well as some of the electrical equipment.

The lightweight carbon-kevlar racing seats made by Recaro for Honda replaced the motorized leather seats that were previously in the vehicle. Nevertheless, the electric windows and the electric seat adjustments have been preserved. The standard forged alloy wheels on the vehicle were switched out for Enkei's lighter forged aluminum wheels, which resulted in a reduction in the unsprung weight of the vehicle. A carved piece of titanium took the place of the stock leather shift knob in this vehicle. Overall, Honda was able to shave off around 120 kilograms of weight, bringing the total weight of the NSX-R down to 1,230 kilograms.

During certain types of cornering maneuvers, the mid-engine configuration of the original NSX and the rear-end link travel caused the vehicle to be prone to unexpected oversteer. This situation occurred quite infrequently, although it was significantly more often on race courses, where the speeds were significantly greater.

To solve the issue and make the Honda NSX-R more stable when cornering at high speeds, Honda added one aluminum bracket under the front battery tray and one aluminum bracket in front of the front radiator to increase the chassis's level of rigidity. They also replaced the entire suspension with one that featured a more rigid front sway bar, more rigid suspension bushings, more rigid coil springs, and more rigid dampers.
The First-Generation NSX-R is the lightest of any of the NSX versions at 1,230 kg, and it is capable of scorching track performance. However, the ride may be jarring and noisy due to the stiff suspension bushings, stiff spring rates, and lack of sound insulation. Beginning in the latter part of November 1992, Honda began production of a total of 483 different NSX-R models that were intended solely for sale on the Japanese domestic market.

Air conditioning, a Bose stereo system, carbon fiber trim center console with carbon fiber door trim, and beginning in 1994, championship white painted larger wheels were among the factory optional items that could be purchased for a hefty premium price. Other factory optional items included a Bose stereo system. The last episode was filmed in September of 1995.
