2001 3.2 Circuit Blue Coupe with pop-ups!
"If you want to argue that The Best Car in the World is a supercar, go ahead. But there is only one that makes the grade. Only one that's built properly.
Gordon Murray knows.
Rowan Atkinson knows.
It's the Honda NSX."
(J. Clarkson)
Yikes! From teh thread of the day itself:
"You know the NSX got properly mangled right at the end? The driver was ok as far as I know. Looked like quite a big off. Right on the very last open lap I think."
"Having seen a picture of the NSX embedded in the trees, it certainly looks like it went in pretty hard. Did think it was inevitable though, the way some people were driving yesterday was verging on ridiculous given the weather. I was nearly wiped out by a muppet in a Wraith who was clearly travelling way over a ton..."
"Very sad to see that beautiful NSX buried so far into the undergrowth, obviously we don't know if it was a car/track/tyre problem but everyone else made the corner without crashing and it did bear all the hallmarks of a last lap hero"
Hope the driver is OK.
This is probably why they needed to borrow my car for FoS.
2005 NA2 NSX, Berlina Black with full red leather interior.
2016 NC1 NSX, Casino White Pearl with red semi-aniline leather and alcantara.
Was it the same car - "MY05"? If so, it only sold last year, and it probably wasn't the new owner driving it.
Hope there's insurance to help get it sorted.

Shame, it looked a pretty good example at the Goodwood super car Sunday event.

Although, that shot is Definitely the Hill route at Millbrook (location of the SMMT event).
That NSX was in lovely condition: it was at Donington in 2013 and was for sale in this thread: http://www.nsxcb.co.uk/showthread.ph...range-2005-NSX
Maybe Honda bought it for demo purposes?
Daily driver: Jaguar iPace HSE
2000 NSX Coupe, Circuit Blue, was W2NSX now V6NSX
Renault Megane RS Trophy R
Other interesting mode of transport: Bell JetRanger
Looks like it was MY05 from this pre crash Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8FV6NLxRUQ
That genuinely is tragic, waste of a great example. Mine will not be leant out ever!
