No fewer than three Honda NSXs will ping their way up the Pikes Peak hill climb next month. Well, we say Honda, but held as it is in Americaland, the NSXs will wear Acura badges for their journey to over 4,000m into the sky. Most exciting is the NSX Time Attack, the car with the ginormous rear wing and jutting front splitter. So, there"s extra downforce, and extra power to justify it. This NSX continues with hybrid power but a pair of larger turbos yield another 43bhp, peak power now sitting at 616bhp. It"s also lost 90kg over a standard, road-going NSX, via a skimmed-out interior, while there are lighter forged wheels wrapped in super sticky Pirellis. It"ll be driven by James Robinson, a man with numerous Pikes Peak podiums to his name. Last year, he took 14th place overall, blitzing an NSX to the top of the hill in 10m 02.448s, a hybrid production car record.
