2011 The Honda-HSV Racing cars

The Honda HSV-010 is believed to be a unique supercar unavailable for production. Honda had deposited an application to the Super GT organizers for the HSV to go off-production. This exemption made it even more distinguished. There was another reason why the HSV was selected to be the racing model because Honda did not have any ready supercar to compete in the series. This is profoundly due to the decision to stop the NSX Super GT production hence Honda was struck with the sole alternative of HSV.

Of why Honda decided to put off an end to the NSX production, it is because this Honda supercar uses mid-engine while the regulations only allowed the use of front engine rear drive. Speaking of the HSV, its nomenclature stands for Honda Sports Velocity which makes a more glamorous name compared to Honda Service Vehicle. The racer comes in availability of front or mid engine, equipped with 3.4 liter V8, marking 370 or more worth of horses. It sends power via the Ricardo sequential manual gearbox, similar to that of others 2010 Super GT cars produced by Toyota and Nissan.
