Honda NSX Type-S Zero

The Honda NSX Type-S Zero reaches 60 mph in 4.86 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 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,308th quickest to 60 mph, and the 4th quickest of the 41 Hondas here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 108.5 mph, the 1,112th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 4 of 7 published acceleration figures for this car.

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 1,308th quickest of the 2,929 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.
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.
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.
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.
