    Default The Greatest Honda Never Built

    Quote Originally Posted by Autoblog
    After a single teaser, a slew of spy shots and a handful of videos, Honda has finally released all the official details on its new GT500-bound HSV-010 racecar. Based on the discontinued NSX successor, five HSV-010s will hit the track at the SuperGT season opener this May, with 10 drivers, including Ralph Firman and Yuji Ide.

    While the road car was believed to have been powered by a new V10, the HSV-010 uses a 3.4-liter V8. The engine is likely a derivative of the powerplant used in the Acura ARX-01 LMP2 car in the American Le Mans Series over the last three years. With 496 horsepower and 289 pound-feet of torque propelling its 2,425 pound mass, Honda's new team of GT500 racers has the chance to take the Japanese series by storm. Make the jump for the official specs.

    I just meant at the consumer level. It's based on the canceled, production ready, NSX replacement.

    He didn't post a vette. Don't be an ass. If you actually read the picture, the link is broken.

    *Sigh*

    When you hyperlink to an image to www.netcarshow.com, any image at all, it displays the corvette image you see on the above post. If you look at the image, it says the it was hyperlinked and that the poster needs to use the imbed code. If you actually look at the source code, however, you will see that he was trying to post the TVR that I so graciously provided.

    Honda/Acura talked all that shit for year after year after year about RWD, V-8s, moving up to Tier 1 etc etc. Then they blame the economy and cancel anything of interest.

    This car was maybe to battle the Lexus LFA. Not anymore.
