VIDEO: More Honda HSV-010 track action from Suzuka

<!-- sphereit start -->
If you didn't get enough of last night's video and image onslaught of the Honda HSV-010 testing at Suzuka, we've got 20 more minutes of high-revving, carbon fiber cloaked SuperGT hotness below the fold.
Although Honda hasn't released any more details on its new GT500-bound racer, last week's open testing session had its fair share of lens-wielding onlookers, so we've included two more videos and a handful of high-res images to the gallery below. Make the jump to get another earful of the awesome 3.4-liter V8 shrieking down the straights and exploding out of the corners, but save your pleas to Honda to bring the HSV as the next NSX... it's ain't happening.

Update
Honda today dropped official details and additional high-res photos of its new HSV-10 GT race car, which will compete in the GT500 class of the 2010 Super GT Series.
Power comes from a 3.4L V8 making 500-hp with a maximum torque of 289 lb-ft. It is mated to a Ricardo sequential gearbox with steering wheel paddle shifters.
Makes us wish even more that the Honda / Acura NSX was a real production car.

God damn, that looks very great. I hope Honda will come out with the street version in 2-3 years. We need that on the road! It looks all the way better than the R8 and all those new edge designed sports cars

I hope this thing gets into production lol. It just looks so bad ass I might just set my sights to the new NSX replacement vs the old if it comes out with those looks.
Isn't it kind of funny though. Now that Honda has basically shown this supposedly race only version of their latest efforts on the ceased production model people are basically loving it, when previously people were basically hating on it.

Its definatly crazy looking, but THIS is Japan's second supercar? I mean I love the NSX as much as the next person, but its got those horribly disgusting headlamps. Why did this trend continue? The ropelighting. Its started with Audi and the Porsches and its infecting lots of cars on the road. They shoulda made the HSC back in 2006 if ya ask me.
...the exhaust does look like a cannon though...

Guys......ITS A SUPER GT CAR!!!
Most of the stuff like the exhaust, fenders, wings etc wouldnt be on the production car. If they did make this thing for production, u wouldnt see it looking like this on showroom floors.

Strip away the race fenders, racing lowered hood, and the damn thing looks like the same ugly shit many were all bitching about.
Any production version of this car will still be ugly.

Now that we see the race version.....that was actually the most accurate rendition sketch
One minor point is the rear side window, I think the actual car looks better. :smile:
But as I said when I first saw this rendeing, it will do me fine - not as a replacement for the NSX, but certainly as Honda's next "halo" car. Especially when mated to the SH-AWD drive train. Sigh!

By rope lighting do you mean like the headlights on this pic? I was never a big fan of LEDs & have often heard to them referred to as Xmas lights but never thought that till the new Audi headlights. This pic is not too bad bc @ least they are in a str8 line:

This one maybe Raybrig. Notice the blue LEDs. The other HSV has no LED.

I disagreed, you actually could pick up the wheels color and which wheels they used for the team.
I bet the gold wheels and HondaRacing sticker is the SuperBacs team. (could be the takata team but then there's a red sticker and no takata cars don't have red sticker on them, usually green and yellow)
The one with Dunlop tires is Epson.
the one with black TE37 is Raybrid.
We'll see.

Some similarity I can see from the front bumper.

None of those are HSV's
