The Insane NSX With A Sideways Motor!?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 мар 2024
- Ever since shooting the Mugen NSX-RR in 2009 I’ve been waiting for someone to replicate the JGTC/Super GT NSX race cars and run a longitudinally mounted engine.
Esprit have done it to their twin turbo NSX but Alan Simoni of Simoni Racing stuck to the purist’s approach and kept things naturally aspirated.
Find out how his 10 year build came to be…

I love how in every part of the world there is a Japanese Beast Hidden in someone’s garage!
And I try to discover them lol
@@dino_dc that is true!! And we thank you for that :)
Honda did it for their JGTC NSX's so these guys are on the right track 🥁
Grazie Dino per farci vedere queste realtà in maniera così approfondita.
The Simoni Racing HQ is some of the best modern architectural design I've seen in a long time. Highly modernist without getting too heavy into brutalism. And I have to say kudos to Alan for building such an interesting NSX.
Thank you very much 🙏🏼 appreciated
That’s how I want to build my 80x100 garage. Very European.
I can still remember when Alan, one day on the track, told me that he wanted to do this madness of sequential gearbox and engine rotation! we were even thinking about a swap perhaps with an already turbo engine! this car is crazy! but I already know that the legendary Alan... will make it turbo sooner or later!! We are ready to fly 😂
So sick seeing such a nostalgic legendary JDM piece of history car the NSX on its own then to upgrade it to a Rocket bunny NSX with 2piece TE37'S 👌 then build it it to an absolute Time Attack monster 👌 and it looks and sounds incredible what a car 👍
The Racing Footage from the Legendary Bozzy 👌👌👏👏
That makes sense. Basically, it's the same layout in top fuel dragsters. Awesome YT coverage, Boss Dino. Stay safe, stay blessed, y'all ❤
Thank you 🤙🏻
Same layout as almost any supercar.
The Clio 16V brings back so many happy memories!
Lovely thing. It actually looks kinda nice without the rear diffuser. Very unique build for sure.
Dino this is why your at the top for Car Culture content in my eyes every vid is always incredible cars and so entertaining to watch and what a great collection but that NSX 👌 amazing their such a nostalgic legendary piece of JDM history and that one with the Rocket Bunny kit the livery and of course the 2piece TE37's and cant forget the engine scoop just incredible and huge fan of those on the NSX and the Time Attack look its so crazy that its just a V6 and they competed and beat super cars and then to go and build it and change the engine position insane but seem like it works well and it sounds absolutely amazing 👌 specially when wide open and backfiring and shooting the flames what a car and as always nice job and keep up the great work 👍
Thank you 🙏🏻
"Stock is boring" riassume tutto! Fantastico seguirti dall'Italia e visitare virtualmente aziende italiane. Tu parli ovviamente un inglese perfetto ma col tuo "accento" capisco il 95% di quello che dici. Se non capisco è perchè proprio non conosco quella parola o il costrutto verbale che usi. Quindi coi sottotitoli in inglese mi fai anche da insegnate di lingua, parlando ovviamente di cose che mi appassionano! Due piccioni con una fava 😁
Che bello, mi fa piacere!!
I love the sound of that v6 . Great choice to keep it . 👌🏻
I would definitely buy that MUGEN spec’d NSX all white too 😍
Love seeing the Italy coverage! Always a good day when Uncle Dino drops ⭐️
🤙🏻
Such good content from Italy. Thanks Dino, Larry, and teams.
Greta video.
What a really sound fella, Alan is.
You can tell he is a real petrol head.
That Clio 16V is in an amazing condition as well, love the wheels on it
as well, you don't see that style too often these days.
Its amazing the difference, shortening the rear end makes, kind of makes
it look like one of those Can-Am racing cars, from back in the 60's 😉
Its an amazing part of Italy around that area, I hope to get back over there again
someday. The amount of businesses, dedicated to car manufacturing along with car parts
and design, is just unreal.
That NSX is absolutely nuts
albeit a fully dedicated transformation
The Renault Clio a classic in its own rite everyone in my family has owned it at some point 👌
Amazing build, love the NSX. Wouldnt want to work on that thing though haha. That engine was tucked. Beautiful
Beautiful classic NSX!
Cool people. Cool company. Cool NSX!
the thumbnail car looks crazy
24:44 that picture in the background is FIRE!!!
thank you so much for these shop tours Dino! so much info that you cant get anywhere else in these videos, pure knowledge!!!
Glad you like them!
Impressive! Nice work, great interview
DDDAAAMMMNNN !!!This is NICE NICE NICE !!!!
The two engines are different. The Alfa is a 2891cc of 86.5x82 mm while the Maserati is a 3000cc 88x82mm with pre-chamber injection. It's not an F158 V8 with two cylinders, but it's the same engineer who designed them
And the tribute to Ayrton Senna sealed it for me.
Love the NSX, it would be a great track car.
Awesome video Dino! I really liked your review on the Stelvio. I like that it’s very Italian, and I honestly would take over a urus. Amazing car that is!
Thanks happy you enjoyed it!
Beautiful red color.
Amazing car, great review 👌
8:05 also Pagani, Dallara and Ducati 🤗
Insane build❤🔥
This NSX is 🔥🔥😎
I have seen this NSX in The Netherlands for Time Attack a couple off years ago still have lots off pics
With a transverse mounted engine you can cancel out some of the angular momentum from the wheels/brakes/axles with the crankshaft/clutch/flywheel - which would be a significant technical advantage to the layout. The motor torque that twists the chassis is also oriented longitudinally, which will help handling stay about the same when you are on or off the throttle. Ever seen a FR drag car lift a front wheel on launch? That's the motor torque twisting a soft chassis/spring setup. A transverse engine (with the typical gearbox layout) won't do that, even with soft springs.
Ok, I'm done, that's it!
The perfect car do not exi.......
sic dude what a dream to be driving a alfa on those roads where you grew up, fun fact in my last video I spotted a Alfa Brera never seen one before oh and wiesmann mf4 but ya the Alfa romeo brera was cool to see
Man that thing is serious! Hope you can swing back around for another look should he ever turbo it.
Yo whats up ma boi Dino Dc. Lookin sharp on that alpha romeo green.
This reminds me the esprit NSX,
Ah yes, but that is twin turbo. NSX should stay NA
Its a very lovely presented and well thought about racecar. Thank you Alan for letting us see your fabbo vehicle.
i can't remember if this car was featured on speedhunters. i can't believe it's been soo long
Another great video Dino 👌
I do have a question about the nsx. What about the Esprit nsx? I thought that had its engine turned and mated to a sequential, but I never read up on it back in the day, just articles from Japan tt events.
Yeah like I explained in the video description it has the same layout but it’s twin turbo do just not a purist take if you get what I mean
@dino_dc I see.. I missed that info in the introduction. NA sounds soooo good 👍
I actually didn't know they turbo charged the Esprit car.. but increased power to weight ratio makes sense.
Hey please don't take anything I write as being negative. As most of my information actually came from a certain DDC contributor to HPI and DB magazines in the naughties.. yes sir 👏 I am always learning from you in the world of cars, and not just JDM.
I'm probably not coming across properly, it's because after 2&1/2yrs as her personal carer, my mum has just passed away on the 11th. It's a little difficult to get it together lately.
Please keep up the great content 🙏
That NSX is killer 🔥🔥 on thebl track seems but too much camber
dreamy build
This unlocked a memory from an old Grip Video DVD of the Top End NSX. Do you know if they’re still around Dino?
Oh man bringing back some memories! No I don’t think they are
Does the longitudinal engine layout have any advantages over the transversal layout?
Transverse engines are whack 😂
34:13 any idea why he taps the break while in full throttle from time to time?
I tap the brake pedal quickly on straights just to make sure to have a perfect brake bite at the next braking zone
@@SimoniRacingOfficial that makes sense. thanks for the reply!
Whenever it shows his footwork on the track, you can see him tap the brakes with his foot still on throttle. I wonder if this is to load the suspension? I’ve done that on a track I got to at Hallett to keep the front wheel down over a hill but that’s it. Interesting
Prepping pads/rotors prior to hard braking
Il suo inglese è in linea con la qualità dei prodotti che vende 😂 PD
Ti sbagli!! Il mio inglese è molto peggio 😅 rispetto alla qualità dei prodotti che invece è in costante miglioramento e ti invito a provarli
Almeno lo parla …
But would you have the Stelvio before the Giulia with the same engine?
In Italy yes as B roads are pretty crap. In Japan I’d take the Giulia but am I still the only one waiting for a wagon version?? Come on Alfa!
@@dino_dcAgreed. Come on already!! What are Alfa waiting for? The M5 wagon...🤪 I would love a slightly raised version like the Audi allroad or Tycan Cross Tourismo.. 🤩
wow😁👍
🤘🏾⚡️
Dang
curious, why does he brake with his left foot on a straight even though he's pressing on the gas?
Clears pads & rotors
ohhhhh@@dino_dc
@@AkinaSpeedStarsAE86 In his words, he taps the brake pedal quickly on straights just to make sure to have a perfect brake bite at the next braking zone
Mr Simoni shares a birthday with my papa 🤔small world 🧿😀
👍💪✌
why does he quickly left foot brake after he shifts?
I tap the brake pedal quickly on straights just to make sure to have a perfect brake bite at the next braking zone
He still has a clutch pedal?
Yes, must keep to use with 1st gear
How reliable are alfas?
Haven’t owned a modern one so I’ll let someone that has chime in
Reliable as any other car. There are no particolar issues in modern Alfas.
Needs a DIFFUSER
why does he tip the brakes on the straight?
I tap the brake pedal quickly on straights just to make sure to have a perfect brake bite at the next braking zone
You speak great English
Why cant japan use slicks?
Well HKS has, and it makes that time not really count for much as everyone sticks to semis. It’s like an unwritten rule
First half video is about an suv 50-75 is about guys fruity history last 25% is about the car. Good job
Appreciate the summary 😂
Maserati n Gulia husband and wife who has unlimited money to pay and fix their car.
It's a combination of MONEY PIT CAR. UNRELIABLE INDEED!
lol
15 MINUTES before we get to the point of the video.
Anyone from India🇮🇳
Yes
Gotta fix the title.
Why?
@@dino_dc Strictly speaking, a transverse-mounted engine is already sideways. Not that I want to split hairs - it's a great car, and I've often wondered why Honda didn't just mount the engine and gearbox longitudinally in the first place.
Subaru is copied from Alfa
Unreliable Italian suvs tho
Had a bad experience?
Reliable as any other car
