You realize that, that car is honda's GT car built only for the GT races, it has a V8 and is completely made of CF, I think it puts out upper 400's maybe even 500 hp, and Honda has already said this will never see production, although if they wanted a big seller I garuntee this thing would sell like a GTR or be just as popular given a descent price range for this slick Lil ride
If they redo the NSX I at least hope it looks like this, looks alone I give it a 10

iirc Super GT regulation require hp to be less than 500hp & weight 1100kg or more. Gotta agree this car should be base line for next NSX

Thank you for the correction, I would love to drive this thing down the street, I wonder how hard it would be to build this thing, or what frame to use....

this is what the CR-Z should have been...Id even be trmepted into buying it if it was a factory option. K20 CR-Z

No shit!!

I could see it now, buy the CR-Z, get the Hybrid discounts and thumbs up from all tree huggers, get the K20 swap and never worry about a cop every giving you trouble!

Have you seen how easy it is to make power off the k20 now?

This one was managed to get 588hp @ 33psi before blowing up.

Back when I was a Honda guy,this guy I talked to on our forum did one of the first full rebuild & custom turbo kits for the K20Z3, came out at mid 700's whp on 35psi, but was Still pretty bullet proof, that was back In 2008, I went back on the forum not long ago and it seems like all the Turbo Si's(k20z3's) are all at 400whp and up, back when I did it there was just a handful of us

Damn I feel ol skool! My era were ZC's then B18's, B16's on B20's in EG and EK's and H22's in CRX's.

seems im a little behind the curve...just recently geting into Honda. I would love to swap in a k20 or k24 into my civic. I love the old hatches and would like to build one with a b18 from the ITR...just need a real job first

I was all about the clean JDM EK's back in the days! IMHO that was the best looking body style... next to the DC2's!

Correct. CF tub, aluminum subframes for the engine and suspension, must use the roadcar roof and a pillars. 500hp limit. Hose engines in Formula Nippon Spec make over 600hp (pretty much similar to the Toyota units).

I've her Honda is considering a low production run. I'd bet that it would cost upwards of $150K, so re:boost junkie, I don't see it selling like hot cakes.

It's a real pity though, would have loved to have see it come out, probably would have had a v10, that V8 is straight racing spec stuff.

As long as they didn't call it NSX that would have been fine by me.

If it was v10 and pushing around upper 500hp, I bet ya tons and tons of people would of bought it for that price tag.

If you check my post isaid given a fair price, would have sold like hot cakes, or cup cakes
