Yahoo Autos The Honda NSX-GT Is the Pinnacle Of Evil
Long before the Acura NSX could prove that it was worthy of Road & Track's Performance Car of the Year Award, Honda turned it into both a rear-wheel drive GT3 racer and a quad-motor electric Pikes Peak monster. All this was done partly for our viewing pleasure, but mainly to prove that the NSX's platform is as flexible as a Russian gymnast on a warm summer day.
The NSX-GT is the real world manifestation of the GT Concept from 2013, built to 2017 GT500 racing specifications for Japan's top-level sports car racing series. That means it has less downforce than current Super GT cars, and no hybrid system like the street version. Instead, this rear-wheel drive collection of wings packs a 2.0-liter turbo four producing more than 600 horsepower, delivered by a Hewland six-speed sequential gearbox.
Is Volkswagen leaving the World Rally Championship bad? Sort of. Is Audi leaving the World Endurance Championship sad? An end of a glorious era, for sure. But cheer up, because Honda built this!
Just look at it! This thing will cut the air like a Hattori Hanzo blade, no doubt about it.
Now, all we need to do is imagine it with a Hello Kitty livery. Because that should happen.
