Honda HSV-10 GT
http://www.autoblog.com/2009/12/21/n...ce-in-supergt/
Looks like a Nissan I thought, can't wait to see more information & pictures as they are released.
The Honda NSX might be gone, but it's set to live on as the HSV-10 GT in Japan's SuperGT championship.
Although we don't have an official release or specs yet, we do have the image above and some preliminary details on the HSV-10 GT or Velocity Sports Honda. Built to the 2010 GT500 regulations, the new front/mid-engine racer from Honda is packing a 500+ hp, 3.4-liter V8 and sending power through the same Ricardo sequential manual gearbox fitted to the 2010 SuperGT cars from Nissan and Toyota. Underneath all that glorious carbon fiber is the same chassis Honda's been working on (originally as an NSX replacement) for the last two years. The SuperGT season opener is scheduled for March 20 and 21 of 2010, but we expect more details and a host of high-res images to hit soon. Stay tuned...

I pray to the Lord Jesus Smith that Honda is still planning on making that thing a production car... they're just being secret about it.

Re: Honda HSV-10 GT
i like it... but im a homer.... on the 'looking like a nissan' note, dont most Super GT Cars have a very similar line and appearance? looks pretty much like an upgrade GT NSX also (which it is basically)
i'd love to see a honda v-8 go into production also but for some reason, i just dont see it happening. what would the honda haters have to say after a v-8 with less displacement kicked their ass?
