2009 Mugen NSX RR Concept

**YoTa_BoX** · 01-15-2009, 08:21 PM

At the 2009 Tokyo Auto Salon (TAS), Mugen surprised everyone by unveiling this extreme NSX. Called the RR, it comes almost four years after production of the regular model was cancelled.

The biggest modification was made to body with new carbon fibre and aluminum panels that both widens and lengthens the standard NSX body. Attached to this is a new fixed rear wing, front splitter, rear diffuser and hood scoop.

As one would expect the powertrain and chassis were also upgraded but at the show the engine was not functional. Mugen said that the RR was strictly a showcar to celebrate their upcoming anniversary.

**Sixth_Vang** · 01-16-2009, 12:22 PM

It's a 2000 accord on crack.

**YoshiFD3S** · 01-16-2009, 01:07 PM

Am I the only one that thinks it looks awesome except for the (even though it's functional) roof/rear-windshield scoop for the engine??

It isn't functional in the way a roof scoop should be used.

I know it's not connected to the engine on this car but what do you mean?

I finally found a pic of what i have been on about!

F1 Technical: Cooling

Just above the driver's head there is an air inlet that supplies the engine with air. It is commonly thought that the purpose of this is to 'ram' air into the engine like a supercharger, but the airbox does the opposite. Between the airbox and the engine there is a carbon-fibre duct (1) that gradually widens out as it approaches the engine. As the volume increases, it makes the air flow slow down. The shape of this must be carefullly designed to both fill all cylinders equally and not harm the exterior aerodynaimcs of the engine cover, this all to optimize the volumetric efficiency.

The following picture displays the uncovered rear part of the championship winning Renault R25. The element marked with (1) is the airbox that guides air into the engine (2) to be mixed with fuel in the cylinders. If is therefore not an aid for cooling but simply a requirement for the engine to function.

I still don't get what you mean? lol. I've always known that. But what's that apply to the NSX?

**chuck** · 01-16-2009, 03:14 PM

I'm thinking the roof scoop is functional...it's not a rally car.

I like it all except the exhaust exits...I LOVE the front fenders!!

**AirMax95** · 01-16-2009, 03:18 PM

Car is awesome....those who oppose can kick rocks.

**Humphrizzle** · 01-16-2009, 03:19 PM

wow.. i like it much more than the FR concept i've seen earlier.

huge aston martin front end lookin ugly thing.

much better. just ditch the roof scoop.

**dabuilding** · 01-16-2009, 05:12 PM

yea the roof scoop is ugly as hell i hate those things but everything else is sex

**AlliRae** · 01-16-2009, 05:20 PM

i like it... but does anyone else think that exhaust is kinda ricer like?

**J13eck** · 01-16-2009, 05:43 PM

still a honda

**MSP1660** · 01-16-2009, 05:48 PM

Make the hood scoop a little less "shark fin" and it'd be just ok in my eyes. Seriously, that hood scoop is rather distracting... re-post or not.

**chinitoxamor** · 01-17-2009, 09:43 AM

shut up and lick my meat from the back. lame ass concept. looks like the old nsx, and this is a repost. go find something else to post.

**Juggernaut** · 01-17-2009, 10:03 AM

I guess I am the only one here with enough common sense to know it is ugly as shit.

**DC2NR** · 01-17-2009, 11:30 AM

Don't like the orange on the taillights ... but other than that i'd take one.

**Elbow** · 01-17-2009, 12:22 PM

A whale penis is a decent example for street car owners on air flow lol.

That it is.

**Echonova** · 01-17-2009, 12:27 PM

Looks like something you'd see at Hot Import Nights.

Yuck.

**GetFRESH!** · 01-17-2009, 11:43 PM

Meh.

Looks like one of these:

**DC2HiGh** · 01-18-2009, 08:05 PM

crazy looking car.......but pretty nice

**speedminded** · 01-18-2009, 11:17 PM

I'm sure the car would look incredible in race livery but may be a little too radical for a street car.

Is anyone else baffled by the engine, is it longitudinal?! The intake manifold seems to be turned 90 degrees from any NSX i've seen...

*edit*
Upon a little research just discovered the JGTC NSX engine was longitudinally mounted, learn something new every day! I've always wanted to build a replica JGTC NSX and paint it a solid color...just think it may be as radical looking as this one and might be too much going on for a street car. I'm really curious how much room, as in the exact dimensions of the engine compartment.

As were the 1995 Le Mans GT1 and GT2 race cars.

ah, I love that car! High revving turbo...

This vid shows the NSX GT-2 Le Mans car as being transversely mounted...

Well that clears me up on the GT2. I found many links that list that car as if it was longitudinal.

It would make sense as it was built to 90's GT2 specs. Thanx

You can read all about it's overpriced uslessness in February issue of SCC. Looks the part though.
