Chassis Number: NA11300252
Just 483 examples of the laser-focused, right-hand-drive NSX Type R are understood to have been built exclusively for the Japanese domestic market, distinguishable by their unique 10-digit chassis-number sequence. Chassis number NA11300280 is one such example, finished in the only available color of Championship White complemented by matching 16-inch front and 17-inch rear seven-spoke Enkei wheels. Red-backed Honda badges serve as the only hint of the sweeping mechanical improvements that lie beneath; otherwise, the Type R is a true wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Stepping into the driver’s seat, the vibrant red Alcantara upholstery lining the Recaro bucket seats immediately gives the Type R a distinctive, sporting appearance over its standard counterpart. This particular car is also desirably appointed with air conditioning and a stereo which could be optioned at the factory for an additional cost, suggesting the original owner sought a more daily-usable Type R.
Showing just under 7,000 kilometers on the odometer at the time of cataloging, this outstandingly preserved NSX Type R surely represents one of the finest examples of the model extant. The car retains all of its correct and intact factory markings in Japanese, as well as a Japanese Compulsory Insurance (JCI) inspection sticker in the windshield, dated November 2019. Further complements to this Type R’s superb overall presentation are its gleaming original paintwork, impeccable upholstery and interior plastics and pristine engine bay. One of the most exclusive variants to be born out of the 1990s performance-car development war which embroiled all the major Japanese manufacturers, this Honda NSX Type R would make a fine addition to any collection of cutting-edge modern supercars.
