The 1992 Honda NSX Type R (NA1), shortened to NSX-R, is a track-oriented variant of the first-generation Honda NSX sports car.
It was sold exclusively in limited quantities for the Japanese domestic market, with production lasting from November 1992 to September 1995.
A key focus during development was maximum track performance with little consideration for driving comfort, which prompted the removal of luxury features found on regular models, bringing it to a total weight of only 1230 kg.
As the standard NSX was known to be somewhat tail-happy, the entirety of the suspension was overhauled to give the car a stiffer ride.
