Honda officially introduced its all-new HSV-010 GT racing car. This car will compete in the GT500 class of 2010 Japanese Super GT series. The HSV-010 GT, which will replace of the racing variant of the NSX, is all that has been left from Honda's V10 powered supercar project that got canned at the end of 2008 due to the recession.
Instead of trashing the entire project development of the NSX replacement model, Honda decided to use the supercar as a base for its Super GT contender. Honda's engineers replaced the V10 powerplant with a naturally-aspirated 3.4-liter V8 engine that output more than 500-horsepower and over 392Nm of torque.
The entire HSV-010 GT racing car approximately 1,100 kg and features a double wishbone suspension all around, steering-wheel mounted paddle shifters for the transmission and a rack and pinion system with electric power steering.
