Honda NSX-R facelift

The Honda NSX-R facelift reaches 60 mph in 4.13 s (100 km/h in 4.78 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.78 s, tripping the lights at 111.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.99 s and the eighth mile in 8.26 s, reaching 100 mph in 10.53 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the NSX-R facelift

The 2002 Honda NSX-R facelift is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,270 kg with 290 bhp, which works out at 228 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 228 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.99 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,209th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 3rd quickest of the 191 Hondas here. Its 111.3 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Honda NSX-R facelift 0-60 time?
The Honda NSX-R facelift reaches 60 mph in 4.13 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,209th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Honda NSX-R facelift quarter mile time?
12.78 s at 111.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.26 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.99 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Honda NSX-R facelift have?
290 bhp and 1,270 kg, which is 228 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 280 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Honda NSX-R facelift?
Closest here on pace: Jaguar XE S Mk I facelift (4.26 s), Ruf 3600S (4.17 s), BMW 1 Series 5dr (F20) LCI M140i 340 (4.13 s). Each one can be raced against the Honda NSX-R facelift in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Honda NSX-R facelift is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-16. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
