Not by half.

So now we know why they told Ross he could have the team and the factory and the chassis but not the engines...

[TheArchitect]

ohh thats nice!!!

What a car - what a noise. It has to be an F1 derived engine. I hope a 'soft' version makes it onto the public roads in the end (and I secretly believe that this is the intro to a road going programme aimed at whipping the GTR).

Thanks for posting.

Wow what a noise, one question though, how can they race this but not make a road version, unless that series has a prototype class?

[snorkel sucker]

whooooaahh! fantastic - the noise; f1 in a GT car ... mmmm!

honda just have to put this car into production

[Mini1275]

Best sound i've heard for a while.

[philmorris]

Indeed - but will it pass 105 dB static at Oulton on my next track day???

[Killer2005]

The Japanese Super GT series will allow specials built to the series spec. Since, with the demise of the NSX Honda has nothing to race, the series will let them build a few of these for the series. Honda's press release:

PRESS RELEASE

Honda to compete in GT500 class of 2010 Super GT Series with HSV-010 GT

December 22, 2009―Honda Motor Co., Ltd. announced today that it will compete in the GT500 class of the 2010 Super GT Series (managed and run by GTA Co., Ltd.) with its HSV-010 GT.

The HSV-010 GT was developed exclusively for racing with the hope of offering thrills and dreams to fans through an unremitting focus on speed-the starting point of all motorsports. The model conforms to the 2010 GT500 Regulations, (including a 3.4-liter V8 engine and an FR layout) issued by the Japan Automobile Federation (JAF), having earned JAF-GT500 basic vehicle registration.
The HSV-010 GT is slated to debut at the Super GT season opener at the Suzuka Circuit, held on March 20–21 (Sat.–Sun.), 2010.

• The letters "HSV" stand for Honda Sports Velocity.

Since joining the All Japan Grand Touring Car Championship (JGTC) in 1997 with its NSX-GT, Honda has competed in a total of 106 races during 13 years through the end of the 2009 season. During this time, Honda has taken the pole position 50 times and won 37 races.
