The Acura NSX was built and tested on the legendary racing circuits of Japan, Europe, and North America, the NSX GT3 made its debut in 2016 and has tackled the world’s most iconic GT races with its 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged V-6 NSX engine, modified to meet current FIA requirements.
The Honda NSX, marketed in North America as the Acura NSX, is a two-seat, mid-engine sports car manufactured by Honda/Acura. The origins of the NSX trace back to 1984, with the HP-X (Honda Pininfarina eXperimental) concept, which was a mid-engined 3.0 L V6 engined rear wheel drive sports car.
NSX versus NSX GT3 Evo: Watch Acura stage a road car/race car throwdown
What’s quicker from 0-60 mph: A modern supercar or a race car based on that supercar? What puts down more power? What brakes harder? And, most importantly, which one can lay down a faster lap time? In the case of the Acura NSX and the NSX GT3 Evo race car, the answers aren’t always obvious.
Then again, sometimes they are. Spoiler alert: The NSX GT3 Evo is faster around a track. That’s kind of the point.
But when it comes to everything else, this video does a great job of breaking it all down.

Watch How The Acura NSX Stands Up To Its GT3 Sibling
They share 80 percent of the same components, but the last 20 percent is significant.
In an effort to highlight the close similarities and major differences between the Acura NSX road car and NSX GT3 Evo racer, the brand puts them both on the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course to see which sets the quicker lap. This test isn’t as absurd as it first appears after you see how much more quickly the roadgoing machine can hit 60 miles per hour (96 kilometers per hour) than its track-spec counterpart.
At their most basic level, the two cars have a lot in common, including the space frame, engine, and production location in Marysville, Ohio. They share 80 percent of their components, but the devil is in the details. Racing regulations mean that the GT3 Evo can’t use the road car’s three-motor hybrid system, which also means that the track version is rear-drive only. Instead of a nine-speed dual-clutch, the racer packs a six-speed sequential gearbox. In addition, the GT3 uses iron brake discs and can’t equip the optional carbon-ceramic pieces from the showroom-spec variant.
