It’s finally here and its officially official, after the teaser shots and handfull of “spy” videos, Honda has finally released all the details on its new GT500-bound HSV-0100 racecar. As known for a while now, the car is based on the shelved NSX successor project but will not utilise the V10 powerplant designated for the next-gen NSX, instead it will be powered by the 3.4-liter V8 which also powers the Acura ARX-01 LMP2 car in the American Le Mans Series.
