Towards Raybrig NSX
At the end of 1998 All Japan GT Championships, four Honda NSX automobiles exhibited overwhelming speed over their rivals. Within the initial heats, one of the NSX vehicles invariably took the pole-position. Also, both in the opening battle plus the 4th preliminary heat, the NSX vehicles swept 1st through third place.
Although the each Japan GT Championships primarily features automobiles advantaged by powerful turbo machines, the NSX, whilst the flagship for Honda, uses an obviously aspirated engine installed on the commonly marketed NSX base chassis. Additionally, the NSX, with a high traction during the midship plus a located gas tank, guarantees continuous, stable control despite changing fuel levels. Using benefit of these factors, the chassis was developed with a high cornering speed as the major theme. Built with a roll cage, and a carbon-fiber covered floor, the Raybrig NSX, when compared to the widely marketed Honda NSX, has 6 - 7 times the structural reinforcement. The Raybrig NSX is equipped with double wishbone suspension system and an inboard kind damper device. Needless to say, through wind-tunnel test, the body has been given a winning, aerodynamic type.
With a 3.5L-V6 engine tuned by MUGEN, the Raybrig NSX pumps out 459hp. Besides to achieving a pole-position in both the 4th round associated with Fuji Circuit and the starting battle associated with the Suzuka circuit, the Raybrig NSX got the checkered banner in the 6th round of the Mine circuit.
