Honda HSV 010 GT New Photos and Video

New video of the Honda HSV-010 GT, Honda Racing's replacement to the Honda/Acura NSX, has surfaced online. The nearly 11-minute long video shows two mean, all-black racecars running test laps on the Suzuka Circuit in Japan.

The car is slated for the GT500 class of the Japan Super GT Race Series. This series typically requires manufacturers to provide production cars, but production-ready vehicles are also allowed. Class rules mandate the car use a 3.4-liter V8 engine.

South-central Japan's Suzuka Circuit will play host to the race debut of the Honda HSV-010 GT. The race season kicks off on March 20th.

Thanks to Kengi and Wayne for the tips!

New Super GT rules specify that the cars must be front-engine, RWD.

Perfect...How can a V8 can sound like a V10? If it is a mid-engined, it will be another classic.

I think mid-mounted engines are no longer allowed in 'SUPER GT', the only series this is set to compete in. Otherwise they may well have stuck with the good ol' NSX. Either way this is an FR car. Sounds almost F1-like, though.

Amazing, this car needs to be produced in a road version, because many people will rather have this bad ass machine then the goofy looking Merc SLS.

Love the sound, interesting large single exhaust at the back. I wonder if they are having any legal issues naming it HSV 010 GT, since Holden has a lineup under HSV (Holden Special Vehicles). Honda's HSV= Honda Super Veloce? Honda Special Vehicle?

Fantastic. I love that the Japanese are keeping the pressure on the German car builders. The buying public wins!

Jaw dropping awesome! That exhaust note is like a symphony of angels screaming with joy; couldn't sound any better even if Beethoven himself wrote it. Realizing it's a GT car, I still admire the overall posture, the ergonomics, and intimidating stare/stance of it's design. Tone down the fenders wells, throw on some street tires, lose the spoiler and you have one very handsome looking production car; even more so than the Lexus LF-A or GT-R (yes, I really said that... and meant it!). After everything Honda has accomplished over the past several decades, it's nice to know that it hasn't completely abandoned or given up on it's racing heritage.

I'm going to call it. Didn't anyone notice that the sound and video don't match at all whatsoever?

It's probably just you, maybe your computer/internet connection can't handle it. Unless you're trying to insinuate that they faked the sound of the engine of the car in the video... Sounds just like when watching F-1 cars, magnificent high revving engines!
