NSX-r and NSX-r concept: the difference?

From a quick scan, all I see is the front tow hook cover on the production car. No mods on the concept so I don't know if it beats the production 1050kg. Asking of GTP, what do I need to know about these? TIA

edit: bit of hype r goodness

The concept, for me, has somewhat dumbed down feeling to it. It goes where you point it and never puts a foot wrong no matter how hard you push it into a corner. Also setups that are made for it tend to be fairly aggressive exploiting this feature.

The type R handles nicely but still requires some control and setups for this tend to be more smooth allowing an exaggerated feeling of the natural handling. Both on Spa, I managed to achieve a faster time in this car than the other.

Thanks for the input, I'll get the weight down on the concept to see how it compares for my driving style.

The picture above is of the NSX-RGT homoligation special, by the way.

Nope thats a Spoon NSX-GT.

Is the R-GT based on the standard NSX chassis or the NSX-R?

I agree, but it has to do with something else in my opinion.

Although I am 100% convinced how both Standard and Premium models share the same physics engine, I really do not think how they also share the same "complexity of physics".

In my personal and 100% subjective opinion, Standard models can't resemble the complexity of handling as Premium models does, especially with suspension geometry and something related to factor I vaguely describe to myself as *basic grip value*.

I could be wrong of course, but my impression is how Standard models handles more *simplified* than Premium probably because their *input values* are more simple than on Premium models.
