NSX???? Weird engine??

So long story short. My parents know the guy that invented photoshop and hes a multi millionaire. And I went to his house and this is the car I found in his garage.


And this is the odd engine that was inside it. I didn't get the chance to talk to him to question it BUT I took a picture.

I guess I can't edit my post. Or atleast I dont know how too but what I'm trying to get as is... I don't think I've seen this type of engine. Or spare tire. or w/e the heck that thing is inside an NSX??? I googled the car and everything and couldn't find anything close to that.

No, thats actually the alternator pulley on the front of the engine. Its so big because they make so much HP they need a large one.

it's okay. Not everyone knows about the NSX. My friend got pulled over in his MR2 once and when the officer told him to pop his hood, he popped the frunk, and the officer went over to look. When he did, the cop told him to stop trying to be funny and show him the engine

Sorry OP, we know it was an honest mistake, but you'll be ridiculed for a fairly long time for this

theres a little tiny motor attached to the spare tire to make it turn the drivetrain that accelerates the car, but every now and then you need to change the tire. moreso, if you're running negative camber or hellaflush fitment.

The real question here is....
Why is the multi-millionaire inventor of Photoshop driving an NSX?
LOL.

Oh right! The pulley and a hamster torque steer reducer wheel look so alike I totally didn't catch it, but now that you've mentioned it, I do believe your right. In fact, I have an idea of which hamster that Photoshop Inventor hired to do the work, this guy
