Spoon Sports To Transform NSX Into U.S. Spec NSX-R
August 21st, 2008
Spoon Sports is a motorsport partner with Honda and has been for quite some time. They will be producing a U.S. specifications NSX and transforming it into the NSX-R’s. The new modifications include larger anti-roll bars, stiffer shocks and springs, forged 17” alloy wheels, slotted brake rotors, shorter final-drive gear ratio, and a rear diffuser.
Part of the NSX-R’s appeal was a product of Honda’s desire to keep weight in check, so in order to get as close to the JDM version’s 2,800-pound curb weight, Spoon will replace the hood, rear spoiler and seats with carbon fiber pieces, fit a smaller battery, manually-adjustable mirrors, thinner rear window glass, lightweight carpets and will rip out all of the sound deadening material.
