Honda NSX-R and Autozam AZ-1: driving the pinnacles of Japanese mid-engine performance.

, but the new car could never evoke the same kind of revolutionary fervor as the original. The MR2? It died in 2006 after languishing in a dried-up market segment for years. And no new car under six figures in the year of our lord, 2022, can rev to 9.

The first-gen NSX set a new standard for mid-engine performance, balance, and steering bliss. The NSX-R takes that one step further in a masterclass of road-holding and driver involvement. The lack of power steering is the first thing you notice, as it is in all NSXs. Even at a standstill it doesn’t take a huge amount of effort to turn the wheel, and at speed, I don’t think I’ve ever felt a better rack.

Honda built just 483 copies of the “NA1” NSX-R. According to the plaque on the door sill, the car you see here is number 96. Making it even more special is the Brooklands Green exterior hue. It's exceptionally rare on the normal NSX, so we can only imagine how few NSX-Rs were sold in this shade. It’s not the color you envision when you think of Honda’s halo car, but it’s stunning nonetheless.The Autozam AZ-1 is on an entirely different spectrum from the Honda.
