Honda HSV-010 - Click above for image gallery
With the exception of a signifier effort and a brief advise release, Honda is predictably incommunicative on info most its GT500-bound NSX replacement. Thankfully, one fan in Nihon was healthy to snag shots of the HSV-010 undergoing investigating at the Suzuka Circuit ahead of its first race in May, and judging by the pics beneath and videos after the jump, SuperGT fans have plentitude to be agog about.
Based on reports from the ground, Honda module crusade four HSV-010s in the 2010 season, apiece of which was investigating at the racetrack New last week (check the differing window banners in the room below). The driver line-up hasn't been officially disclosed yet, but the newborn coupes module bear the drawing 8, 18, 32 and 100 at their entry May 20-21 at Suzuka.
Powering the HSV-010 (which stands for Honda Sports Velocity) is a 3.4-liter V8 mounted in face and sending noesis to the side wheels finished a six-speed sequential casing -- the aforementioned transmission utilised by Nissan and Toyota on its GT500 contenders. The styling bears some resemblance to prototypes that ran the Nurburgring in past years, but it's decidedly curvier, more aerodynamic and -- to our eyes -- damn sexy, particularly in change black with the angry LED eyebrows.
As previously reported, Honda has no plans to sell a road-going version of the HSV-010 to consumers. Instead, the Big H has found a loop-hole in the SuperGT regulations that allows the automaker to crusade a automobile in the program that's "production feasible" but not in production. So unless Honda reverses course and pulls an LFA, the closest you'll become to sight and chance the all-new NSX is in the videos after the jump.
UPDATED with more videos after the move and high-res images in the room below. Thanks Enzo!
