The NSX sound at 7:06-7:08 sounds absolutely amazing. However, he downshifted a bit too early to the second gear in order to take over the Lamborghini. But, that downshift is what caused the NSX to overheat.
the lamos wont the race due to imence horse power.. if the nsx had a turbo aplication and some few minor parts for durabilaty ... it would of won the race easy... and you would still save a lot of money in comparison to buying a lambo.... love Honda.. like all the cars on this vid... nice race..

I just think that Best Motoring favors japanese cars in some of their videos and this is the best example. The other cars would have swallowed the nsx if they would have realy raced all out.
i don't think it's just that they favour them. the NSX-R simply is that good handling. but there is one thing that may favour the japanese cars, and it's that the drivers are more familiar with them than the european cars. plus, i wouldn't be so confy crashing a 200,000 supercar... bet they also aren't.
PS: the camaro would have spun out in the first lap trying to catch up.
I love lambos and the NSX is a masterpiece, but Ferrari's don't suck. How can you compare a 360 modena with those 2 lambo. Obviously, this lambos are better. Compare the F50 vs Murcielago and the F430 vs Gallardo. You'll see that Ferrari's are better even that both are very expensive.
The HSC (Honda Sports Concept) has been revealed as the NSX replacement. None the less, the NSX-R and the NSX are two totally different cars. The NSX-R is basically a track day special similar to the 360 CS, GT3 RS, and M3 CSL... The normal NSX is nothing close to that and would easily fall to the back of this back (hence BM's use of the NSX-R in most of their comparisons where an NSX is needed).
ur wrong, the point of honda R cars is not massive power increases but weight reduction and thats where the nsx-r's true power lies. reworked suspension is only a small part of this equation.
the nsx-r is also lighter than a base nsx or a type s and it does have slightly more power than a base nsx also true about the suspension it corners much faster than a base or type s and might as well me a ssemi racing suspension ....you would see the difference in a drag race about the power to weight
I've been a Best Motoring Fan for a long time. But I never figure out whet the fuck is wrong with the fucking NSX-R. I've owned a NSX they are good but the NSX-R make a U.S spec NSX look like shit.
and the NSX could outrun from the Turbo or Modena because of manual gearbox and weight.Especially Porsche's tiptronic s sucks on this track This is a track for lightweight cars and obviously, on the straight Lambo's and Turbo use their extra horses. Although NSX has 290 horses it can beat Turbo and Modena because of the aluminum chassis and having no airbags, radio etc.
Honda has got the power. And it not a `simple` Honda, it has all aluminum chassis and mid engine for optimum balance. Which is Porsche or BMW does not have. So no one can call it a `simple` Honda. It was overheated because of the driver exceeded the redline when he brakes. It a car which is introduced 1989, it was soahead of its time. Go Honda!
No way an NSX can be faster than a 911 turbo? Yeah - well educated comment - you might wish to connect your eyes to your brain before typing. It WAS faster, that's why it finished in front (thats how racing works by the way). You think the extra horse the 911 has helps the fact that it is an overweight fatboy?
Actually, the extremely stiff aluminum monocoque construction of the second-gen NSX-R is why it performed so well. Take a look at the track; Twin Ring Motegi is an extremely flat circuit with almost no banked gradients, perfect for GT500-esque stiffness characteristics. The Porsche is suited for European road types, such as the Nordschleife. Also, it's difficult to corner in switchbacks with its RR platform, especially at the double chicanes where the weight transfers are become unsettling.
If ran with my yugo i suppose i woud be the fastest, ahahahahaha!! Well this "battle" is the silliest thing I 've ever seen, no way a csl or an NSX can be faster than the 911 turbo or ferrari...
The development of this car into the next evolution of NSX appeared to stall for two years. However, the July 2005 announcement by Honda CEO Takeo Fukui indicates the 2003 HSC was only a test concept in the bridge from the existing platform to the next. Fukui revealed the new car will be powered by a Honda Racing F1 Team-inspired V10 and could be ready between 2007-2009"(wikipedia, search honda hsc).
Its the drivers..the Gallardo should of won...its made for the corners and the Murceilago is for straights.... the NSX is too slow so the braking is not as bad as the others...making it easy to turn corners at speeds....everyone else breaks harder...notice how the BMW and the NSX BREAK late...they shoot to the corner...so yup its the drivers... Gallardo should of won....thats a go-cart! Should of had the Zonda out there...or the Koenisegge (sorry could not spell it)
Sorry it aint the drivers, the fact is that the lighter NSXR out brakes everything there due to its lower weight. The Lambo's are fighting understeer most corners and are also being pushed hard. If you guys see the actual DVD of this whole eppisode of BMI they show all the measurements and stats of breaking distance etc. of the cars involved. The NSXR is a hugely under-rated car as it destroys big name euro cars often in this series
This video sucks. That is not a Ferrari Modena it's a Ferrari F430. Then, the F430 and 911 turbo are both faster cars then the Gallardo. But all much faster then the NSX-R. Much faster. So the final line up is a set up. Or the drivers can't drive.
You're just making a fool out of yourself.YOU suck,since you can't see the difference between a modena and a 430,jisez..The f430 didn't exist at that time!And why should the 911turbo be faster than the gallardo?Yes,those cars are faster than the NSX-r on the straights,but racing is all about lightness and balance!And the nsx in itself is a symbol of those two factors.The final line was not set up,it was purposefully meant to convince all you fools;THOU SHALT NOT HAVE DISBELIEF IN THE NSX-R!
That Honda overheats because of its design, and because the driver over-rev the engine everytime he brakes! The Rev limit is 7,800 rpm and he goes over 9k!
Umms, you guys do noticed that these guys are some of the BEST drivers this world has to give... THE DO JGTC all the way to F1 series and ofcourse, they are from BEST MOTORING! soo, its all about the cars potential... and it seems that the NSX has more on this battle...
wtf r u guys talking about this vid sux. the drivers arent good at all xcept the the driver in the nsx. the comontater was a fag, I'm a better driver than these guys i mean ive got state cup but i know ppl that r way better than these guys and there not pro. they have had this type of race hundreds of times and the ferrari always wins u have to drive 1 to belive it. there in there own catagory. so who evr said that there overrated should shut up cause he hasent driven any of these cars
damn, that NSX has some serious handling.. although his race strategy may not have been the best. i think im in love with the cls for some reason though.
oooohhh yeah, you gotta love them italian cars... i think the nsx is much more nimble round corners and i think there lighter too, but just remember the lambo's are worth much more. so for value for $$ id go the nsx, oh and by the way where did the porsche +ferrari go??
hey lets not start namecalling here. the honda is there because its japan's supercar. they have to be represented by their own japanese car. those japanese seem to prefer less horses and more... reliability???
Reliability? The NSX overheated on the track. Some "Supercar",waste of money for a Track spec car if it can't post more that 3 hot laps without dying.
The NSX sound at 7:06-7:08 sounds absolutely amazing. However, he downshifted a bit too early to the second gear in order to take over the Lamborghini. But, that downshift is what caused the NSX to overheat.
