As reported before, Honda’s “new NSX” will see the light of day not as a production road car, but as replacement to the long serving NSX-GT in the Japanese Super GT series. Honda Racing has confirmed this by releasing info and a picture of its 2010 race car.
Called the HSV-010 GT, the front engine, rear-wheel drive Honda competes in the GT500 class and will be powered by a 3.4-litre V8 engine, as per Super GT regulations. HSV stands for Honda Sports Velocity.
Super GT is for production cars, but Honda has managed to find a loophole in rulebook that permit cars that are production ready (which this prototype NSX is), though not necessarily in production.
The 2010 Super GT season starts on March 20-21 at Suzuka and we will be able to see the HSV-010 at Sepang in June.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Wonder how it really looks like
wow, only if Honda were to mass produce it….
more shots would be lovely!
I agree more photo's would be good.
fuiyooo….i tot dat honda gonna be focusing more on the environmental align vehicle but this is totally awesome.
guessing they are doing "killing two birds with one stone", testing preproduction NSX and leading in GTseries. just wait and see lah..
P.s: i'm first!!!!
i think after this, the ruling might change to become only for cars IN production, rather than production ready.
much like the M3 CSL issue back then.
Huh…. Dammm will hit the market if they produce it even for limited edition quantity. Hope will appear in any game console (As Gran Tourismo=PS3 ?). That the chance only to drive & feel it…
CAN DRIVE IT, CANT FEEL IT
Strangely it reminds me of the 350Z :-P I guess the angle of the shot is the reason why…
Now everyone Flat Blacked.
7th…
Looks kinda shitty to me… Honda what happened to you?
You sure that is not some TVR Honda took it after the company went bankrupt?
way to go HONDA…awaits you at sepang..
Looks like a dream…
thats one ridiculously good looking car
the front looks like a tvr sagaris
why no production T.T
make it into production, then bring it to TG's test track, then held a race with GT-R and LFA…
waiting to see that happen…
if the rule changes then kantoi lah honda.
VTEC?
it is powered by VTEC Turbo.
It will be powered by the same 3.5 L V8 N.A, engine as was used the last few seasons..
3.5L V8 is Super GT Engine regulation..so i rekon if they put this car into production it could be a V6 with IMA motor..hybrid?..hehe.the power of Eco..hehe..
Damn, it looks mean!
