Feersty Wrote:$500,000 though? That is just ridiculous. Even if only 5 are being made. That is just wack.
Well...
If the car is significantly different mechanically from a regular (or even Type-R) NSX then it brings up several issues.
*Dealer support. If they sold 100 or more of these cars then they'd have to roll out a support program to the dealers which of course would cost at least few hundred thousand dollars or a few mil
*The cars are probably one-offs so all of the parts are custom fab, which means no economies of scale
*The cars are being built to meet homologation requirements which means they're not really concerned about selling them to the public.
$500k is super steep, especially if the cars don't have inboard suspension or something similarly wild. But at the very least they should be very fast. If they weigh less than the NSX-R II they'll probably be able to get to 60 in the 3 second range and crack a quarter mile in the 11's FWIW (assuming it has enough tire under it).
