Winston Wolfe was the 'fixer' in "Pulp Fiction" and drove a 1992 silver Honda NSX. That same year, the 265 lb lighter NSX-R was released with a lot of the creature comforts deleted, carbon fiber/Kevlar Recaro seats, a beefed up front suspension and extra stiffeners under the battery tray. The origin of the NSX was based on the 1987 concept car that was a collaboration with Pininfarina. I assume, as all other modifications are correct that AUTOart modeled a very early NSX-R model as it still has the 5 spoke wheels rather than the 7 spoke replacements. Its blueprinted 3.0 liter V6 and rear axle ration gave the car a 0-60 in 4.9 seconds. The NSX-R was produced from 1992 to 1995.

I see a bit of the "ol-Rich-dry-brush-to-enhance-detail-technique"Â on this model. And yes, The Wolf would be proud. Just remember he drives fast!

Love the NSX & the Type R is the ultimate performance version.
I missed out on the AA (both regular & Type R), unfortunately. Still have an old Revell, that is decent for its age (released in the early 90's), but the wheels/tires are horrific.

@marty-johnson At this stage, I can probably quote the entire screenplay when I can't remember where I put the car keys.
