HONDA in Japan SuperGT 2010!
Honda HSV-10 GT All Set To Replace The NSX In The Japan SuperGT!
Its still hard to digest the fact that the gorgeous Honda NSX is gone but if what you see here is to replace it, then it wont be missed for long. It looks nothing like its predecessor and even drops the NSX name, the Honda you see above is known as the HSV-10 GT and it has been tasked with continuing the NSX legacy at the Japan SuperGT Championship.
No official details are available as yet and the picture above is currently the only one circulating the net but expect that to change in the next few weeks. The HSV-10 GT (or Velocity Sports Honda) is built to the 2010 GT500 regulations and packs a new front/mid positioned 500+hp, 3.4-liter V8 powerplant. All that power is put down via the same Ricardo sequential manual gearbox that is fitted to the 2010 SuperGT cars from Nissan and Toyota.
The HSV-10 GT is also the same car that Honda was originally working on as an NSX replacement. Underneath all that carbon fiber is the very same chassis Honda has been working on for the last two years. If this car ever makes it to production, expect it to do the same thing the original NSX did in the early 90s. Shake up the supercar competition and slap them around.
Watch it perform at the SuperGT season opener scheduled for March 20 and 21 of 2010.
