Honda NSX Type-S Zero

The Honda NSX Type-S Zero reaches 60 mph in 4.86 s (100 km/h in 5.09 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.13 s, tripping the lights at 108.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.06 s and the eighth mile in 8.50 s, reaching 100 mph in 11.29 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 Type-S Zero

The 1997 Honda NSX Type-S Zero is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,280 kg with 286 bhp, which works out at 223 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 223 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.06 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,026th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 5th quickest of the 191 Hondas here. Its 108.5 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 4 of 7 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Honda NSX Type-S Zero 0-60 time?
The Honda NSX Type-S Zero reaches 60 mph in 4.86 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,026th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Honda NSX Type-S Zero quarter mile time?
13.13 s at 108.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.50 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.06 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Honda NSX Type-S Zero have?
286 bhp and 1,280 kg, which is 223 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 270 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Honda NSX Type-S Zero?
Closest here on pace: Opel Lotus Omega/Carlton (4.87 s), Subaru Impreza 22B STI Version (4.80 s), BMW M135i F20 (4.76 s). Each one can be raced against the Honda NSX Type-S Zero 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 Type-S Zero is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 4 of its 7 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
