As you know we’ve already featured Honda’s new GT racer, the HSV010. We also had images of this car flexing muscle on the race track, but now the Japanese released official pictures and details of this truly awesome racing machine. It replaces the current NSX in the Japanese Super GT series. We just wish they could make a road-going version as well, if only!
