HONDA NSX Turbo GT1 Le Mans

[J30A1TypeR]

@QuertrGTRR ....we have different definitions of "beast"...

[mrchuck151]

Honda is an Engine Company.. no other company compares.. I believe Honda is the Best Car/Engine company in the WORLD!! the American Car companies should throw in the towel already.. American cars are garbage and always will be.. I'm an American and was born and raised in the U.S.A. American car companies lack creativity, innovation, and experience. The old "muscle, gas guzzling car" days are over.. Shit-can the Chevy Volt or any other shitty American car these companies come up with.

[TheSimonaz]

honda nsx 1994 year for le mans

[R4v3D34th]

why is the driver's side on the left?

[tank2g2]

@R4v3D34th preference ?

[Brandic2020]

The Chevrolet Corvette C6.R can outrun this effortlessly.

[QuertrGTRR]

@Brandic2020

Sorry, thats typical american bullshit.

The C6.R is nearly a DECADE younger...

[omardinoc6]

ok this might sound noobish but i was wondering how come there is a manual clutch if the sequential gearbox does not require one?

[Nontas1993]

@omardinoc6

The clutch is there so the car can get moving :) also used for downshifts.

Rest of the time it's just foot off the gas - shift, all that in the blink of an eye.

[Koenigslilie69]

VTEC and Turbo is the best!

[J30A1TypeR]

Has anyone ever heard oh the hsv-010?... That thing is a fucking beast...

[QuertrGTRR]

@J30A1TypeR

since when are cars with more downforce then HP beasts?

SGTs are like LMPs with more weight and less HP. At around 200KmH they deliver more than 1000Kg of downforce. Nothing beasty, just grip grip grip.

[SCwrestlerTTSB]

this guy can shift like a fucking monster

[ballistik209]

@m6205 thats y they came out wid the k-series engines btw I'll take u for a spin in my civic ek ..youd prob shit n ur pants aftrwrd. ...talkn bout s2k n NSX only..psshhh

[remuaja84]

Twin Ring Motegi?

[m6205]

this and the s2000 are the only real honda perfomance........since honda races n f1, they should be producin much better engines then the shit engines they have now

[treeman001]

I wish I could shift like him.

[rcdelatorre98]

I'd love to have that car in my garage!

[Arai4lpinestars]

The Drift King mentioned in the end that the LHD Le Mans car handles like a proper road car whereas the JGTC NSX handles like a "Formula"

[mauownage]

VTEC JUST KICKED IN YO!

[inboundDMC]

LAME

[JPTorres2694]

High revs + turbo = win

[luljan]

this thing made so much fkin revs in it stime and still does unbelievable !: >

[luljan]

@raidacaipo probably only car of honda worth mentioning and the S2000 ofc :P lol

[Drivinfast247]

Mr. Fancy Footwork!! Nice driving!!

[massimilianomarone1]

aaaaaaaaaah siiiiii

[TheChinkaDink]

to think this is only a v6

[carmodifire]

you can see the same vid on gtchannel in english

[NigMac34]

@carmodifire post link

[carmodifire]

@NigMac34 It said on his Wikipedia entry, and a few other places I think. He had the fastest lap, but a teammate crashed.

[sooperfukker]

Wow .. this footage was made 10 years ago :ß

[madman8718]

for those who don't know that NSX's r....ACURA'S!

[tasis2]

@madman8718 Wrong, NSXs are project of the racing part of Honda. Ayrton Senna was also a developer of the NSX project. ACURA is just Honda, changing the name for the American Domestic market.

And if you know, in 1991, Senna was racing a McLaren-Honda formula. And when McLaren wanted to produce the McLaren F1,asked Honda for engine,but secretive Honda said polite... NO !!!

[LS7TT]

Ferrari wonder what you would have done If the nsx didn't come out you'd still be making lame 80s Ferrari cars

[ADTR913]

this is the only honda i will ever like

[NEWanjingkepala3]

1 gay dislikes this video...

[Arai4lpinestars]

@NEWanjingkepala3 that would be TypeDoubleR

[carmodifire]

KT got the fastest time when he was in Lemans but only got 2nd place cuz a teammate had an accident. Would have been cool to see him in F1.

[blaknagi]

anyone know the horsepower of this gt1

[taystew]

@blaknagi 650ps is around 640hp.

[blaknagi]

@taystew thanks dude, wish i could see this baby live before it went away

[Ximon1986]

@taystew

Wrong. PS=HP => 650 PS = 650 HP

[taystew]

@Ximon1986 PS( or "Pferdestärke") does not = horsepower

[chucksterrr]

I meant tapping the gas and not just keeping it floored while shifting up.I know about heel toe:)sorry for the confusion!

[TheBladeofaDemon]

I never knew the NSX GT2 & GT1 had their engines mounted longitudinally, and not transversely like the stock car

[MrVinnievtec]

ok how the fuck is he shifting up with no clutch lol

[fcguy7]

@MrVinnievtec sequential transmission. Some you can up shift without even lifting the throttle. Notice the arm movements. The transmission inst shifted in a normal H pattern. Pull back for upshifts and push forward for downshifts (it returns to center naturally).

[GuideLightt]

@MrVinnievtec matching the RPM's at the top of one gear to the Bottom of the Next, therefore not having to push in the clutch.

[chucksterrr]

perfect shift?that`s a sequential man.only clutch down when you match the revs with the road speed.he`s tapping the gas on the changes because he is one badass driver

[fcguy7]

@chucksterrr though he may be one badass driver ... its not because he is 'tapping the gas'. Its a common downshifting technique called "heal toe downshifting". Its fairly easy to learn.

[cross56442]

he only clutches on the downshift. cuz when hes shifting thru gears he does a perfect shift. which doesnt need a clutch if u do it right.

[fcguy7]

@cross56442 as chucksterrr pointed out you are very wrong. Its a racing sequential. The clutch is only required on downshifts for rev matching. Notice the arm movements ... no normal H pattern.

[StatusQuo209]

u do understand that a majority of the "engine Sound" is actually the transmisson rite??...

Well thats mostly what i hear.... but the car still sounds good regardless.

[staticCable]

He only use's the clutch to shift down.Intresting.

[G2IntegraDA]

@staticCable I found that interesting as well. Do you know why he only clutches on the downshift?

[armorgeddon]

@G2IntegraDA: You can upshift flat with a sequential gearbox, which is used here. The electronics cut the ignition for a split second. Not sure about this car but in more modern racecars with sequential you can downshift without the clutch, too, but sometimes it is better to still use the clutch when downshifting to have the rear of the car more stable going into a corner (talking about rear-wheel-drive cars of course). This is often done in wet/slippery conditions.

[c312eal]

The N/A version of the NSX got 1st place in its class, this TURBOed one didnt finish the race cause it broke down. Turbo's usually kill engines much faster than N/A. It was fast but it broke down so no good

[tougecolt]

@c312eal True, it also has to do with the fact that the honda engine revs pretty high

turbo's don't handle high rpms well

[c312eal]

@tougecolt Yeah turbo's aren't good for high compression high reving and a 3L V6 turbo @ 600+hp. I think it'll be tough for that engine to run 24 hours at lemans

[toubanoxxx]

the track is twin ring motegi and not le man

[Mrpartyallnight101]

sounds bad ass!!

is it a twin turbo? and do these type of cars have anti lag systems? ive always wanted to know.

[taiwanlong]

is this the fastest and best NSX ever build????

[supertrex2]

I have the same Center H logo woot

[Nelso90]

Holy shit! 3rd is CLOSE! I cannot imagine the need to have 3rd gear that close on a turbocharged car, especially considering how much longer the other gears are.

[op3l]

Yea, honda engines sound really good, especially the 3.5 liter V6s. I have a Honda Odyssey van with that 3.5 liter V6 and it sounds way better than the engine in the Infiniti i35.

[RotaryCrossType7]

@op3l lol an odyssey you are sooooo cool...

[op3l]

@RotaryCrossType7 Perhaps you missed my point... my point is the engine is really good, back when this first came out, 270hp from a V6 was insane. I dare you to drive an odyssey and a infiniti I35 and rev the engines, I guarantee you will also think the honda engine sounds better. And yes, I have driven both cars. btw, how's the torque from your rotary engine treating ya?

[RotaryCrossType7]

@op3l well op3l I'm one of the lucky ones who have found a 3r tt and with a little money and some time on the weekends, my torque is plenty for the street and track enthousiast, but even stock i wouldnt compare it to your mini van.....noooo i wouldnt dare.

[op3l]

@RotaryCrossType7 Ok. But I still think the van engine sounds good.

[RotaryCrossType7]

@op3l sorry to be technical but its actually your exhaust and cam setup..... i know what ya mean though ;)

[UR2H]

The tunnel pass at 3:40 sounds sweet.

[supertrex2]

650ps? lol.

[raidacaipo]

for those who say that hondas sound like shit. This video will prove them wrong..

[JTthestreetking]

@raidacaipo when people say hondas sound like shit i think they are talking about those honda civic tuned by highschool kids who dont know shit about tuning real hondas sound phenomenal with their high reving vtech they sound like motorcycle engines when i was watching this video i kept on waiting for him shift it takes a long ass time it probably revs up to 9500 rpms thats crazy

[raidacaipo]

well alot of the shitty sounding hondas have to do with cheap ebay exhaust systems and cheap no cat piping.. there are 2 type of people.. one who like the loud, fart type of exhaust and ones that like the quiet but racy exhaust. I like the quiet racy ones like the apexi ws2 which makes a honda sound a little nicer.

[raidacaipo]

besides this has 6 cylinders.. so it sounds alot better. Ever seen a j32 swap into a civic? sounds totally different and nice because the j32 is a v6

[RotaryCrossType7]

@raidacaipo honda only has two cars worth looking at. so comparing this to any honda is a ridiculous concept..... idiot

[raidacaipo]

@RotaryCrossType7 its a honda fucken retard. Thats all that matters.. 15 thumbs up so whos the idiot again?

[raidacaipo]

@RotaryCrossType7 btw don't bother looking at this video if your just going to hate on a honda. Your probably a nissan fan boy anyways... idiot

[RotaryCrossType7]

@raidacaipo lol some one has a hard on for honda, ya i hate driving fast cars too.

[JesperKyd47]

@raidacaipo the standard nsx is a true master piece, it's a shame it didn't have the success it derserves.

[theundeadx]

@raidacaipo the new honda hsv-10 sounds even better!!

[aech123]

@theundeadx ... i think the nsx sounds is the best

[davidzzz94]

@raidacaipo anything sounds like shit to those who r LOSING thats right smell the dust XD

[redsmurf02]

@raidacaipo clearly they are refering to civics and stuff, nobody in their right mind woul mock the performance-cost the sound the race ability an such of the nsx at any level

[Pendemic]

@raidacaipo

No other Honda's sound like this.

[idiotman76]

They never went racing with this did they?

[bliatay]

DOHC VTEC + Twin Turbo = : )

[lilcez3]

can someone plz explain wat the pilot does at 3:21 . seems cool!!

[HEKTIC458]

do you mean where he "blips" the throttle?

it's called "heel/ toe" it's a technique race car drivers use when downshifting =)

[ManuelDr]

"Heel-Toe" downshifting, an awesome downshifting technique

[ddongbap]

whoa, the beginning looks like a gran turismo intro. epic.

[jaycruz02]

the roar sounds so fucking sweet

[jordanr1504]

no clutch?

[spawn5yo]

sequential gearbox

[lukesimmons101]

What confuses me, then, is why there is still a clutch pedal? Do you know why?

[IAMSO619]

It's a sequential box. Clutch for starting and downshifting, lift off gas for upshifts, or stay flat on the gas for full-throttle upshifts.

[spawn5yo]

japaniesse driving tehnique, keeps the turbo spining in the corner sections

[dstrcto]

By matching the revs while downshifting, the engine doesn't brake the car and upset its balance in the turns.

[c312eal]

@spawn5yo no, this isn't japanese. Ayrton Senna was the most famous driver for feathering the throttle to keep the boost up. He wasn't the only one but he was the best.

[gamwpanagia]

@lukesimmons101 launch,downshifts

[ricardofcarvalho]

Awesome car

[germade]

wow that nsx turbo is fast, and with keiichi tsuchiya is better :D

[uncabronusername]

It is, he actually got 1st place in his class!
