The NSX-R GT, I know that not everyone is going to agree with me on this but the GT version is one of the sexiest cars ever built. Though the rear air scoop may not be functional, my first mod if ever I owned one is to make it functional. Dreaming of owning one, I searched the Internet for pictures from proud owners and wasn’t really lucky with that. The NSX-R GT was a homologation special so there was a minimum production to be met.
Rumor has it that there were only 5 built to meet the minimum requirements inorder to complete. Where did the 5 go? I believe they were sold to specific prospects for almost half a million dollars. Who were these prospects if you ask me? My guess would be; Spoon Sports, Raybrig, Takata, Epson and Autobacs.
I am still dreaming of owning one, or at least a replica of the R-GT. After market kits were available for enthusiasts and I actually found a picture of an NSX owner from Seattle who had the same dream and built his NSX R-GT almost to complete spec.

Whew, Props to the builder.Now the conflict is, would you build at least an NSX-Zero ground up to make it greater than the NSX-R GT or would buy an NSX-R GT for half a milli? A true Honda fan boy would definitely rather purchase this rare mythical creature,why? because racecar.
