A new dual-exiting exhaust has been installed alongside bespoke wheels, while the adjustable suspension is meant to improve the handling of the sports car.

The NR-A Racing Spec on the other hand is more focused on track use, featuring a racing-inspired white, silver, red and black livery, a prominent tow hook and a roll cage. Inside there are racing bucket seats and Takata seatbelts.
