Overview
It never was called “Godzilla” or “Widowmaker” but deep down it really needed a nick. It was a man’s car. You had to feel everything and respond pretty quickly which the car let you do both. The Type-R was 100 kgs lighter than the standard one and was really like it was prepped for only track use. You have to see Senna drive one of these.. The colour white, comes from the Japanese racing cars (Honda race cars in this case) and is named “Championship White”
The Scale Model
Way better than the previous NSX. This even makes them look like a 90s Bburago. The wheels of the model somehow seem out of scale. Not having seen the Type-R version in person, the wheels of the model look too small. It might just be me.. Interior and engine details are fair enough. The paint is fine but the colour also seems like it doesn’t catch the 1:1 model.
