If nothing else I nostalgic for the NSX not entertain any illusions. Honda has not decided to change his mind and remains firmly of the idea of not giving an heiress to the supercar that left a deep mark in the nineties. The HSV-010, which the Japanese will line up at the start of the Super GT Series 2010 will be in spite of the tangible evidence. The machine is achieved by drawing it with both hands by studies and experiences at the time, when the outdoor types of road project still seemed destined to take off. A material of the highest quality, which was in danger of ending up straight and spun into the bin and instead will be good for at least contend in Nissan and Toyota the national title in the GT500 class.
Although it has been carrying out looking aerodynamic efficiency rather than the aesthetic end in itself, the car has oodles of charm. Are almost shining eyes to think of it as an evolution of the concept that HSC took off in Tokyo in 2003 or the 2007 Acura ASC Detroit. Leaving regrets behind and focus on HSV, it could be mesmerized by his sculpted forms. Resting on glistening gold rims, the body seems made from a sheet of carbon by the skilled hands of a master of origami, seeing how they intersect the various flat surfaces.
Looking from the front of the HSV (an acronym that stands for Velocity Sports Honda) affects mainly the shape of curved front fenders, headlights marked by deep holes and a boomerang-like gills of sharks and identical to those that tear open the bonnet. Queued dominate a wing the size of a dining table and modern, geometric shape of the lights, which extend from side to side, for the two meters wide.
Long instead almost four meters and seventy, HSV hides a proven chassis derived from that used by Honda in the last two seasons of racing. The engine is a V8 instead aspirated 3.4-liter twin brother that used by Acura fielded in the American Le Mans Series. The power is declared more than 500 hp, while the couple speaks of more than 40 kgm (corresponding to 392 Nm). The gearbox is sequential Ricardo, operated by levers on the steering wheel.
