This is a Honda NSX. No, scratch that, it"s an Acura NSX, which is basically a Honda NSX with an Acura badge. And it intends to contest the Time Attack 1 class at this year"s Pikes Peak hillclimb.Which means it needs to be fast and pointy and oh heck, forget all that, just look at the wing. It"s massive. We"ve decided: it"s not an Acura NSX, it"s a wing with an NSX attached to it.Acura hasn"t specified exactly what type of aeroplane they stole the wing from, but we suspect it"s a big un. All they do say is that the NSX "has been lightened, and aero elements have been added including a bigger wing and front splitter". Yeah, it"s big alright.No word on power, but we do know Acura have "taken learnings" from last year"s Pikes Peak run where an all-electric, quad motor chassis with an NSX bodyshell raced up the mountain along with ideas taken from the rear-drive only, NSX GT3 racer.
