If you’re a fan of Super GT you would know that Honda has retired the NSX from the race and have replaced it with the new Honda HSV-010 GT race car, a model that’s not available for production as of yet. The HSV-010 is a front engine, rear wheel drive car and competes in the GT500 class. It’s powered by a 3.4 litre V8 engine. In case you’re curious, HSV stands for Honda Sports Velocity.
The car is definitely production ready for sure as Super GT is meant to be for production cars. Honda has actually managed to find a loophole in the Super GT rulebook that permits cars that are production ready to be fielded, so the car doesn’t actually have to be in production, although I’m sure a lot of you would like to see such a car in production!
We’ll be having a joint interview together with Zerotohundred with the Honda today at 3 PM on Honda Racing Malaysia’s Facebook Fan Page. It should be very interesting as this is not a car in production so there won’t be any “test drive reviews” to read from the world’s media. The only information we’re going to get are from Honda themselves.
Perhaps we can grill them to put the car into production :P Come drop by and watch the interview and participate in the Q&A section later.
UPDATE: Read the full interview here.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
It’s about time they replace the NSX… though the NSX will remain as a very very good supercar.
I HOPE HONDA WOULD MAKE THIS CAR PRODUCTION READY !! MAKE IT ON THE ROAD… IF TOYOTA AND NISSAN COULD DO IT …HONDA SHOULD DO IT AS WELL !!
agree! :-)
Double Agree!
what an awesome machine!!!!!!!!!! this makes knight rider look like a child’s toy! damn! i would piss in my pants if i saw this coming up from the rear
can’t wait!
Sooner or later , the HSV will have to be produced if the interests are growing. Hopefully with the same high revving V8 unit! :)
We all want the HSV in production….who doesn’t? the NSX was awesome… The HSV — “Awe-Inspiring”…Yes…we all want to see it on the road.. :)
But what we want, may not be inline with Honda’s global business direction. If the HSV generates a good enough following and interests…there may be a glimmer of hope for the HSV to hit the roads.
Does not matter if Toyota does it or Nissan does….I don’t think Honda does things for the sake of doing it…read their history, there’s always a story behind their feat.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCqY-vAX4EA <- listen to the sound it makes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! holy cow, really pumps up the adrenaline if you hear that in a road going car!
yup!!!!but without wing
ugly
u ade duit belikah? org miskin
Don’t relate this to Proton please…
i crazy about new honda HSV GT500 it blow out unbelievable vtec and F1 exotic sound. as i i know max rpm scream until 12,000rpm as limit. Vtec ROCKSSSSSS
Compare this one, Nissan gtr is only a toy!!
Look at that wing! Looks like a dinning table.
Judging from the F1-like sound, the engine’s rpm could be more than 11,000 rpm at least :) . Roadcar’s engine displacement, should be a bit higher than 3.5 L, maybe 4 L.
the sound of the engine makes me think that, they are really using their know how on producing F1 engine to produce engine for this beauty…this engine is not roaring, it is screaming like hell…
I reckon under the hood is actually a F1 engine!
guys, the engine under the hood is use widely by IZOD indy car series teams.
