In this way it troleó Porsche to Honda during the development of the NSX
When developing a new model, the manufacturers do not hesitate to buy cars thathis model will have to compete. They buy them to see how the opponent has solved X problems. For example, how to pass emissions testing at the same time that it retains the level of benefits. Obviously, they also serve to compare performance, dynamic behaviour, etc.
Honda is not different from the others and between the models purchased during the development of its NSX were the McLaren MP4-12 c and the Porsche 911 GT3.Obviously, these cars are bought anonymously and generally no manufacturer knows which of its units will stop a possible rival.
As you may recall, the Porsche 911 GT3 was the subject of a call to very serious review. Porsche advised even customers not circular with the car until it is replaced by full engine. Logically, the call to review also came to the "owner" of the 911GT3's Honda.
When the 911 GT3 was in the workshop, Porsche engineers reviewed the data registered by the control unit of the car, as they did with all 911 GT3 engines replaced,as they are collected precious data in the face of future models (behaviour in jam,experienced temperatures, possible past of revolution, etc).
A unit were given says that the car had reached the 328 km/h, they checked otherdata and tied ropes: the guys at Honda had bought this unit. And Porsche returnedthe car to Honda.
"GOOD LUCK HONDA, PORSCHE PART." "WE SEE ON THE OTHER SIDE"
Again open the hood of the 911, Honda discovered in the plastic cover that covers the engine a message for them: "good luck Honda, part of Porsche. See you on theother side". Nick Ronbinson, Chief Engineer on the dynamic section of the NSX, recalls the anecdote: "wanted to know where had put the car to 328 km/h and what circuit." Officially, the Porsche 911 GT3 has a top speed of 310 km/h.
By the way, Robinson confirmed that they had also bought a McLaren 12 c, but theboys from Woking never realized at the time that the car was going to the workshop or they do not have the same sense of humor that the Porsche and fell silent.
