2002-2005 Honda NSX-R
Body Style: 2-door coupe
Engine: 3.2 liter Honda C32B naturally-aspirated V6
Power: 290 HP
Torque: 224 ft-lb
Weight: 1,270 kg
Transmission: 6-speed manual
Drivetrain: Mid-engine, rear-wheel drive
Additional Information:
This nomination only includes the 2002-2005 NSX-R and is a separate entity from the base-model NSX that has already been nominated.
The second iteration of the NSX-R was released in 2002 and it was sold exclusively in Japan. As with the original NSX-R, weight reduction was the primary focus for performance enhancement and over 100 kg has been reduced from the car in the process. Carbon fiber was used to a large extent throughout the body components to reduce weight, including a larger, more aggressive rear spoiler, vented hood and deck lid. Additionally, the audio system, sound insulation, air conditioning, and power steering have been removed from the car. Each NSX-R engine was hand assembled by a skilled technician using techniques normally reserved for racing programs. Components of the rotating assembly were precision weighed and matched so that all components fell within a very small tolerance of weight differential. Then, the entire rotating assembly was balanced to a level of accuracy ten times that of a typical NSX engine. This balancing process significantly reduced loss of power due to inertial imbalance, resulting in a more powerful powerplant with excellent throttle response. The result of the NSX-R was a vehicle that could challenge the latest sports cars on the track. For example, Motoharu Kurosawa drove a 2002 NSX-R around the Nurburgring in 7:56, a time equal to a Ferrari F360 Challenge Stradale despite the Ferrari outpowering the NSX by over 100 HP.

1994-2001 Mitsubishi 3000GT/GTO (Z15A)
Body Style: 2 Door Coupe/Convertible
Engine: 3.0 DOHC V6 (3000GT/SR/SL), 3.0 DOHC TT V6 (TT/MR/VR-4)
Power: 160 BHP (3000GT), 218 BHP (SR/SL), 276 BHP (TT/MR), 320 BHP (VR-4)
Torque: 184 FT-LBS (3000GT), 204 FT-LBS (SR/SL), 315 FT-LBS (TT/MR/VR-4)
Weight: 1430 KG (SR/SL), 1530 KG (MR/VR-4), 1670 KG (Spyder VR-4)
Transmission: 6 Speed Manual
Drivetrain: Front Engine Front Wheel Drive (3000GT/SR/SL) & Front Engine All Wheel Drive (TT/MR/VR-4)
Additional Information: Following the success of the HSR and HSX concept cars in 1989, Mitsubishi developed the new GTO as an advanced 2+2 sports car designed to compete with the Honda NSX, Mazda RX-7, Nissan Skyline GT-R and Toyota Supra. They resurrected the GTO name, and the car went on to serve as Mitsubishi’s flagship for the remainder of the decade. However, despite the cachet of the badge at home, it was marketed as the Mitsubishi 3000GT and as the Dodge Stealth outside Japan, as the company was concerned that connoisseurs would object to the evocative nameplate from the highly regarded Ferrari 250 GTO and Pontiac GTO being used on a Japanese vehicle. However, regardless of its badge or eventual target market, every car was built on the same production line at Mitsubishi's plant in Nagoya, Japan.
The 3000GT went into it's second generation in 1994 where it recieved a number of visual changes as well as a 6 speed manual transmission. There was also a limited run convertible model, the Spyder VR-4, of which less than 900 were sold in North America, and not being sold in European or Japanese markets, but the extra weight interfered with handling, so the Spyder was discontinued in 1995 due to low sales.
There was another facelift in 1998, with a small number of cosmetic changes as well as the base 3000GT getting the SOHC engine from the Dodge Stealth, while the 1999 model got a huge "combat wing" for the final year of production. Production for Japan and Europe ceased in 2000, while the final 2 3000GT's were sold in North America in 2001.
As with other Japanese supercars of the 90's, the 3000GT became immensely popular with tuner's, with a huge variety of visual modifications available.

2000-2006 Mini Cooper S Hatch (R53)
Body Style: 3 Door Hatchback
Engine: Tritec 1.6 Supercharged Inline 4
Power: 160 BHP (S) 200 BHP (JCW), 220 BHP (JCW GP)
Torque: 160 FT-LBS (S), 180 FT-LBS (JCW/GP)
Weight: 1,215 KG
Transmission: 6 Speed Automatic or 5 or 6 Speed Manual.
Drivetrain: Front Engine Front Wheel Drive
Additional Information: The new Mini Cooper was first introduced in 2000, now built by BMW but still sold under the MINI brand. The new Mini Cooper featured a 1.6 Tritec Inline 4 that was supercharged for the sportier "S" model, producing 160 BHP. This was launched alongside the Mini One and standard Cooper in 2000. The Cooper name comes from the involvement of John Cooper, whose involvement is further emphasised by the "John Cooper Works" edition, which features a tuned version of the supercharged Tritec engine producing 200 BHP. There was also a racing model the "Cooper S2" that competed in the Belgian Belcar series while there is also several one make race series for race modified versions. Right before the Mini went into it's second generation, John Cooper created a final evolution model called the Works GP. It was only sold in the UK and featured a boost to 220 BHP and a top speed of 150 MPH, all while still costing just £22,000. The R53 Cooper S was the star car in the 2003 reboot of The Italian Job, where 3 JCW tuned Cooper S's were used in the film, and critics have said that the film was a brilliant use of product placement, which resulted in a 22% increase in Mini sales for that year.

1962-1965 Apollo GT
Body Style: 2-door fastback coupe or convertible
Engines: 3.5L or 4.9L Buick V8
Power: 225-250 HP
Torque: 335 lb-ft
Weight: 1030-1150kg
Transmission: 4-speed manual, 3-speed automatic
Drivetrain: Front-engine, rear-wheel drive
Additional Information: This car was born out of an American engineer's desire to build cars to rival European GT cars of its time among the likes of Aston Martin and Ferrari. Milt Brown (the American engineer in question) made an agreement with coachbuilder and tuner Frank Reisner to build bodies for his car. Production was sporadic and ultimately led to less than 90 examples being built by multiple nameplates due to funding issues.

1992-2003 Ferrari 456 (M)
Body Style: 2-Door 2+2 Coupe
Engine: 5.5L Tippo F116 V12
Power: 436 HP
Torque: 406 LB-FT
Weight: 1690 KG
Transmission: 6-Speed Gated Manual, 4-Speed Automatic
Drivetrain: Front-engine, Rear-wheel drive
Additional Information: The Ferrari 456 was designed to be Ferrari's more refined GT option compared to the F355 and 360. Production began in 1993, and after a series of refinements continued on through 2003 with the introduction of the 456M. The 456 was less hardcore than the 550 Maranello and 575M, featuring rounder styling and two additional seats in the cabin. Yes, this Ferrari is the 90's equivalent to the GTC4, featuring two more seats the every other Ferrari in it's range. For practicality, this was the most practical Ferrari of the lot in it's day. Although the 456 shares its engine with the 550 and 575, this version of the F116 is significantly de-tuned compared to those versions.
Once production ended in 2003, the 456M was succeeded by the 612 Scaglietti, followed later by the FF and GTC4 Lusso. The 456 was the car which set the trend of four-seater GT Ferrari sports cars for nearly two decades and counting.
(fun fact: this is the only Ferrari I've ever had the opportunity of sitting in.)

1970-1977 Mitsubishi Galant GTO
Body Style: 2-door coupe
Engine: 1.6 liter 4G32 naturally-aspirated Inline-4, 1.7 liter 4G35 naturally-aspirated Inline-4, 2.0 liter 4G52 naturally-aspirated Inline-4
Power: 96-125 HP
Torque: 103-127 ft-lb
Weight: 980 kg
Transmission: 3-speed automatic, 4-speed manual, 5-speed manual
Drivetrain: Front-engine, rear-wheel drive
Additional Information:
The Mitsubishi Galant GTO (Gran Turismo Omologato) was first shown as the Galant GTX-1 showcar at the 1969 Tokyo Motor Show. Sales began in November 1970, when it was the flagship hardtop variant of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries's then-new Colt Galant sedan. The Galant GTO was designed by Hiroaki Kamisago and it incorporated a number of stylistic cues from contemporary American muscle cars of the era, including a long hood, raised cut-off ducktail rear, and rounded quad-headlamps and tail-lamps. The GTO was the third Japanese car to have a pillarless hardtop design after the Toyota T40 series Corona of 1966 and Mitsubishi's own Galant Hardtop launched earlier in 1970. Mitsubishi Racing Development intended for the Galant GTO to compete in the prestigious JCCA Grand Prix circuit. However, the oil embargo of 1973 caused the demise of GP racing, so the GTO race program was cancelled. Nevertheless, GTO's were successful in rallying, including the famous Japanese Alpine Rally. The Galant GTO was replaced by the Galant Lambda/Sapporo in December 1976, though production continued until 1977. The nameplate was revived in 1990 for the Mitsubishi GTO, although this name was only used in the Japanese domestic market.
