No more NSX besides the possible Mugen RR NSX, but say hello 2 Hondas new HSV-010 GT

[Backwoodz Tuner]

January 18, 2010 - Honda Motor Co., Ltd. introduced the HSV-010 GT, which will compete in the GT500 class of the 2010 Super GT Series.

This is the Honda HSV-010, a V8-powered monster that’s set to take on Nissan’s terrifying GT-R in Japan’s GT500 series this year.

It looks astonishing. Based on the chassis of Honda’s stillborn NSX revival, the HSV-010 (HSV, by the way, stands for Honda Sports Velocity, not Holden Special Vehicles) weighs in at 1100kg and packs a 3.4-litre V8 hoofing out around 500bhp. As per GT500 regulations, a sequential manual gearbox channels all that power to the rear wheels.

The HSV-010 will race for the first time at the GT500 season opener at Suzuka on 20-21 March. We’d expect it to gain a whole bunch of decals and sponsors and stuff by that time, but Honda, please, we beseech you: leave the HSV-010 exactly as it is: naked and matte and carbon-fibrous and generally amazing.

[CD5Accord]

It's soooo sexy. I would take out a loan, make outragous payments every month, and live in my parents basement for that car. (maybe not so much the last part). I'd mooch off friends' houses lol

If I were going to get something funky like that, I'd get a Gumpert. But I mean, I wouldn't complain if given one of these ;)

Well it IS a Honda, so it miiiiight be a little more reasonably priced. Somewhere around the nissan Gt-r's and Evo MR's. Hopefully if they do decide to sell they dont price it like a supercar :frown5:

[Bmer89]

Yes but the base model Gumpert makes 650 hp, top model makes 800. If you're spending a lot of money on a race car, might as well win the race ;)
