"Honda NSX Type-R (+facelift)
More information trickles out of Honda Japan with regard to the upcoming facelift of the venerable NSX. To maximise its image potential, especially in light of the deadly 350Z competition, it will be introduced as a Type-R version.
To be unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show in October, the facelifted NSX will be sold in November of this year at Japanese Honda dealers. Honda is determined to put up a good show with the facelifted NSX before it can finish work with the true new NSX, to be debut in 2004.
The facelifted NSX Type-R will retain the 3179-cc V6 engine (C32B) and still produce an official 280-ps. Expect Brembo brakes, 17 inch front tires, 18 inch rear tires, BBS-designed alloys, Recaro sports seats, simplified interior, and a price tag of 10 million Japanese Yen (approx. US$83,600).
To the left (various colors link) are Best Car magazine's estimates of the different colors available at debut time. I would also expect silver and metallic blue to be part of the export versions' palette, as the Europeans hardly order any white colored models, even if it is a Type-R Honda model."

My thoughts? Looks good, although the body now reminds me of a Silvia from the back for some reason. Back still looks good, but I wish they would keep the old lights, or at least hints of it.
