In this Hagerty video, we dive into the world of the legendary second-generation NSX-R, a true rarity with only a handful of units ever made. This beast, set to grace the auction block with just 16,000 kilometers under its belt, embodies the essence of raw driving pleasure. Despite its modest 276 brake horsepower output, this Japanese gem offers an unparalleled driving experience like no other. The NSX-R's stripped-down design, featuring manual wing mirrors and a focus on weight reduction, sets it apart as a true driver's car.
Behind the wheel of the NSX-R, enthusiasts are treated to a symphony of unassisted steering and a gearbox that feels like a precision instrument. The car's aerodynamic enhancements, including a unique front vent for airflow management, contribute to its exceptional performance on the road. The heart of this machine lies in its 3.2-liter V6 engine, meticulously balanced for optimal performance and delivering a thrilling ride with its shorter final drive ratio. This driving experience is akin to wielding bladed irons on a golf course - pure skill and finesse without the crutch of electronic aids.
The NSX-R's design exudes a timeless appeal, reminiscent of a bygone era where driving was about the connection between man and machine. Every aspect of this car, from its aerodynamics to its engine dynamics, culminates in a driving experience that transcends mere numbers on a spec sheet. As Hagerty explores the nuances of this automotive masterpiece, it becomes evident that the NSX-R isn't just a car; it's a symbol of driving purity and unadulterated joy on four wheels.
