About the avex Dome Mugen NSX
The Japanese GT Car
Championship were inaugurated in 1993, and are becoming more popular with
motorsports buffs throughout Japan.
¡@
The avex Dome Mugen NSX,
developed from Honda NSX, was entered by "mugen + Dome Project" for the 1997
season. It was developed and tuned by Dome Racing, which has built unparalelled
esteem in Japan for producing high performance racing cars. The original
monocoque made of aluminum was reinforced by roll cage, and most parts of the
body shell, such as front hood, fenders and doors were replaced by ones made of
carbon fiber. The distinctive silhouette with unique front spoiler, "Canard"
wings, side skirts and large rear spoiler were the result of extensive wind
tunnel testing. Additional air intakes/outlets and oversized fenders added even
sophisticated appeal. The transversely and amidships mounted, 6-cylinder
3,450cm� powerplant was developed by Mugen to yield over 450 horsepower without
turbo charger. Four wheel double wishbone suspension was equipped with A arms
and horizontally mounted shock absorbers activated by pushrods.
During the 1997 season,
the NSX competed the JGTC under sponsorship of avex, a large music distributor
in Japan. Painted in a overall blue color scheme with unique markings, the avex
Dome Mugen NSX fully displayed its outstanding performance to the Japanese
motorsports fans throughout the season.
