Mugen NSX

Has anybody ever heard anything about this car's performance? Did they tune it at all? I found these pictures on the web, all by themselves. What year is it from?

I like so many things about it.
  • Flush-mounted headlights
  • Floating Honda emblem
  • Hood vents
  • Beefier wing
  • Real exposed gas cap
  • Appropriate application of useful air vents on rear quarters
  • Badass exhaust pipes
  • Awesome wheels

I'm confused by the grey shelf-like rear bumper.

I'd love to learn more...

I think that rear bumper is just designed to move the NSX into more contemporary styling circles, with the exhaust tips protruding from the rear bumper. I kind of like the way it looks.

What I'd like to know is why the vents in the front hood? I'd like to think that they serve a purpose.. but I can't think of a practical reason for them, since the NSX is mid-engined. Possibly that these vents aid in brake cooling, generation of downforce, or perhaps feeding some crazy custom intake design (i.e. with the induction devices mounted in front of the crew cabin).

The radiator is usually in the front. Perhaps it's turbo'd and there's an intercooler up front. I dunno...

I'm fairly familiar with the bodies of the JGTC NSXs, and I don't see much shared between them and this...

For the most part these provide an exit path for air, creating additional downforce on the front end. This reduces lift at speed, and helps plant the car in high speed corners.

THe front area also houses radiators for engine cooling and A/C, and that hot air has to go somewhere too. Better it flush out through a smooth path, then go through the (more turbulent path) undercarriage

Also, they look COOL

The headlight conversion reminds me of RX-7.
