This is the '03 Honda NSX Type R, also known as the NSX-R. Designed by Ken Okuyama, Masato Nakano, Shigeru Uehara and James Stevens, this was a highly-tuned version of the original Honda NSX, initially introduced in 2002. Weight reduction was also repeated, including carbon kevlar racing seats and the removal of any air conditioning, sound insulation and the stereo system. The car's 3.2L C32B V6 was given special attention and built by a skilled technician to maximum precision. The engine is said to put out 290 BHP. The NSX-R was only produced for one year; only 140 were produced, making this one of the rarest Honda NSXs.

Now this casting was introduced in 2020 in the Quick Shifters sub-series of the Fast and Furious Premium Series. This casting was designed by Ryu Asada. This casting has had one known release but with two wheel variations; one using 6-spokes and one with 5-spokes. I don't know which is less common but I think it's probably the 5s. Mine has a small imperfection but it probably can be removed.
