Since Spoon's marketing it here in the States, I thought you guys would be interested in seeing more on the LHD NSX-R. For those of you that weren't aware of the fact, Spoon's building the U.S. market NSX-R models since we never got the chance to purchase them here. Here's a first look at it:

Spoon's LHD NSX-R

 

Are they purchasing used chassis from the US or are they new?

 

im not really feeling the front lip/bumper,who knows it might grown on me. I think they are converting rhd to lhd but im not sure. If you follow some links they have a red nsx all gutted (RHD) then it has a Lhd dash in it.

 

Wow, seriously not feeling the front bumper...or really the back bumper. Other than that, not too bad I guess...

 

nice nsx!!!

 

those recaros are bangin'

 

LHD Nsx-R? lol
replica more like it.
i like the rear but the front is fugly.

 

My understanding is that they are regular models tarted up to look like R's. Actually, not even real Type R,s; they have some of the GT body parts glued on.

I'll pass. . .

 

Good friend's conversation cut and pasted from his IM a while ago:

"It seems there is alot of misinformation about the NSX-R from Spoon. Alot of "I heard this or that". decided to just call Spoon myself and see what they had to say. I spoke to Edmun Lauren who is president of Spoon Sports in the U.S. for about 20 minutes."

"They are making 5 cars. And that's it. They are chassis that they bought from Honda and will have whatever U.S. VIN was assigned to them at the time that chassis was produced. They do all the mods on the car."

"Anyway, he emailed me some info on it. Pics and a sheet showing some specs for it. $125k too. That's for a 5 speed with a 3.0 engine that's balanced and blue printed by Spoon."

So they start at 125k and I'm sure you can mod w/ their parts list to your hearts content. I like my car better even though it's not an "R." Then again, these aren't either. Close though.

 

Ichishima claims the car weighs 2425lbs - that is pretty hard to believe with a full interior and AC.

 

this is pritty much a sports car for the racing enthusiast and honda lover..... the bumper is not eye candy.. it helps the car turn !
