Highly functional accoutrements further improve
ease of operation for increased speed and driving
pleasure
The relentless pursuit of
vehicle control quality in the New NSX-R extends to all
cockpit parts within the driver's reach. No matter how high
the car's dynamic performance has been raised, if precise
operation is not possible its potential can not be fully
realized. Items like the ball-shaped shift knob offer superior
fit and contribute toward a new approach in vehicle control
quality throughout a wide range of driver
positions.

Titanium
ball-shaped shift knob suits a wide range of driving
styles
Shift knob shape
was tested on the circuit, resulting in the selection of a
ball-shaped design for its superior operating feel and
adaptability to a wide range of driving styles. The knob is
sculpted from pure titanium for a simple, sturdy feel. Such is
the attention to detail that, when hand carving the yellow
shift pattern, we polished the edges down so that the driver
would not be distracted by the feel of the numbering while
griping the knob.
The shift knob is also complemented
by a lightweight mesh jersey boot that matches the new
interior design. Weight reduction is pursued right down to
this level of detail.

Shift
indicator uses green and red flashing lights to inform the
driver of proper up-shift timing
The shift indicator uses
green and red lights which flash then light up to indicate the
power peak and rev limit, respectively, promoting more precise
up-shifting and a more exhilarating driving experience.
Standard power peak is 7,100rpm and standard rev limit
7,700rpm, with each light set to flash and then light up as
the standard value is reached. The standard rev limit for
first and second gears, however, is set 200rpm
lower.
Operating parameters require that the
transmission be in gear and the throttle open 17� or wider.
Control of the lights'flashing and lighting up is carried out
by the engine's ECU. Operating parameters are set for circuit
or other spirited driving conditions.
The gauges employ
yellow needles unique to the new NSX-R, with a red ring around
the outside for an exhilarating design befitting a car built
for speed. The orange numbering on the dials is illuminated
for a unified look day and night.

Seats
upholstered in perforated suede with mesh jersey side
supports, for improved hold
The full-bucket
Recaro seats employ a carbon Aramid shell for superior hold
and weight reduction. The side supports are upholstered in
light, breathable mesh jersey, with the seat and seatback
covered in perforated lux suede, for reduced sliding of the
driver's racing suite during high-G conditions. This seat was
selected to help the driver perform to his maximum potential
on the race circuit.

A
small-diameter, leather-wrapped Momo steering wheel and other
high-performance cockpit accoutrements
The 360mm small-diameter
leather-wrapped Momo steering wheel* helps the driver respond
quickly. Other features include side panels and shift plates
made from real carbon fiber, an instrument panel made of
high-matt rubber to minimize reflective glare on the front
windshield, and aluminum pedals available through the Custom
Order Plan.
* In cars equipped with
the manufacturer's optional dual SRS airbags, only the
leather-wrapped portion is made by Momo.
