Can somebody help? I ve looked at the yank resource on the site regarding models & spec. In an ideal world I'd like the very latest NSX-r but as my funds can't reach that high, I'm thinking of the JDM R's. There is a guy near me in cardiff who has an "R" with the red stitched dash & all... very nice. The one below did it ever happen? & how many of the last Type R where officially brought in to the uk? Is It One?

NOTE: This is not a second generation NSX Type-R, rather Honda's second Type-R for the first generation NSX. However, almost everything that differentiated the original NSX-R from the standard NSX has changed with this new version, so it seems appropriate to class it as a separate NSX model. As with the original NSX-R, it is unlikely many of these changes will ever make it to the US, though the headlights will probably be here soon.
NOTE: At this point Honda is still referring to the car as a prototype.
The new NSX Type-R debuted in October, 2001 at the Tokyo Motor Show.

The key concept guiding the development of the new NSX-R is "evolution and strength". As the first to benefit from Honda?s greatest achievements on the racing circuit, the NSX could almost be called the original TYPE R, and Honda has once again boosted its sporting spirit. A major factor in the NSX?s premium handling and performance is the lightweight aluminum body, and for the new model carbon fiber and other ultra lightweight materials have been used wherever possible for even lower weight. In addition, the revised craftsman-built interior further accentuates NSX-R?s sports credentials.
Major equipment: ? Carbon fiber hood air outlets ? Carbon fiber rear spoiler ? Carbon fiber engine compartment cover ? MOMO genuine leather-wrapped 3-spoke steering wheel ? RECARO carbon fiber Aramid bucket seats ? Type R dedicated 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels ? 215/40ZR-17 low profile tires (front), 255/40ZR-17 low profile tires (rear)
Specifications: ? Overall length/width/height: 4430mm/1810mm/1160mm ? Wheelbase: 2530mm
