Simoni Racing NSX Project debuted in November 2015 at the legendary Monza circuit,

the Team AP Motorsport famous for its “race” projects that describes

the project: "We started from the concept of the aircraft "zero" that at the time of

the Second World War was considered the best fighter in the world; his fame comes

from the fact that combined excellent handling at very high fuel range economy.

The chief design engineer of the time believed that the requirements could

be met only by making the aircraft as light as possible; It was so applied

every method available to save weight, and that's exactly what we did.

We have worked towards one direction: make the car as light as possible... and fast obviously! "

How its made

The starting point chosen for the Simoni Racing project is a Honda NSX 1993.

When the NSX was developed for the first time, the objective of Honda was to achieve

the performance of noble European sports cars and also to approach them in the aesthetic style, especially the Italian's.

The NSX was supposed to unravel many of the technical solutions from the program Motorsport Honda and

in fact was the first production car with innovative technical solutions: the chassis, suspension and car body made entirely of aluminum.

After studying the style and performance of Ferrari and Lamborghini the engineers planned the Honda NSX looking

for a perfect balance between power use and reliability, which is why they produced a powerful naturally aspirated engine with VTEC technology.

The main resource of Honda, however, was the pilot Ayrton Senna,

which at the time had already won three championships in Formula 1, which convinced the engineers to stiffen the chassis.

The body of Simoni Racing NSX project has been completely replaced with the wide

Rocket Bunny body kit and brought to a total width of 192 cm at the rear, it was fully-wrapped

with Simoni Racing film “Chrome RED” here was born her name #Rossana.

Frontally stands out the hood, made in a single piece with the bumper,

the hole in the center is the access to the fuel tank, which is also fully reconstructed and housed between

the front suspension for a better balance of the weights.

All windows, including the windshield, have been replaced by lighter Lexan.

The chassis has been cutted in the rear of 20 cm because Rocket Bunny wide body required.

On the back stand out the tail lights, are completely reconstructed using technology LED by Simoni Racing,

and the big carbon wing to give the down force necessary for the rear wheel drive car.

The engine wiring harness and race electronics was mapped by Evosystem uses the standard engine

with six-throttle air intake body driven by Drive by Wire system, with a custom exhaust that makes a creepy sound.

The exhaust sound is important and when accelerating from a standstill, at the closure of the throttle,

the intake sound effect recalls the real race car of the 80's.

Finally the RAYS forged wheels feels comfortable staying in 4 Slick Pirelli P zero that have grip to sell.

Driving sensations

It's a car crafted for the track with a setting of extreme driving, very low. Everything is all around you with minimal center console,

few buttons allows the switching on and switching off the engine and headlights,

also a nice "knob" allows the selection of 3 engine maps for the ideal use in every situation.

When you are seated the view is limited in the front, but the rear visibility is next to nothing,

so the installation of a back view cam has solved every absence.

A car that everyone turns to see. Is impossible not to notice it because

with its soft contours hypnotizes you and with its sound reminds that besides being beautiful, but also terribly fast.

Driving it is like freeing a wild animal from the cage.

No need to say more: just have 415 horse power on a car that weighs just 1000 kg, completely free of controls,

has direct and perfect steering, it requires great caution and is mandatory firmly grip

on the Simoni Racing steering wheel "X2 Competiton" with two hands since it tends to follow the trend of the asphalt.

We're talking about pure driving, old racing stuff, for real drivers only.

Final conclusion

Our driving experience onboard the Simoni Racing NSX was short but very intense.

Aesthetically it is a beautiful drive and success in all respects, some would argue the design

of the rear lights defining abnormal, but we genuinely liked.

To drive is just as extreme and pleasant but must pay due attention because it is a car that wants to be driven.

So always firm hands on the steering wheel and attention!

The vehicle to achieve this weight / power ratio of primacy, was built with the highest quality materials,

such as carbon and aluminum, which gives it the dynamic qualities of the first class.

The standard transmission modified with short gears ensures quickly shifting

while the 3000 cc engine provides plenty of power available immediately.

AST Suspension and big rotors AP Racing brakes, adapted to "bite" the asphalt, are a complete

package able to appreciate every kind of track.

The driver

"Speed is a state of mind and it is the only important thing."

Word of one person who has spent 12 years on tracks around the world competing in

the more famous one-make championships.

Alan Simoni in recent years has improved his driving skills by adapting to different types of cars discovering

all the variables that contribute to achieving the perfect lap, which he reveal whispering "does not really exist"
