Acura NSX

Description[]

The Honda NSX-GT is a grand touring race car built by Honda Racing in collaboration with Dome for use in the All Japan Grand Touring Car Championship (now known as Super GT). Racing in the GT500 category, the NSX-GT shares few parts with its road-going counterpart and only bears a passing resemblance to it; the car is powered by a 3.5L V6 derived from the roadgoing C32B V6 using in its road-going counterpart.

A predecessor of sorts to the NSX-GT was privately entered in the All Japan Grand Touring Car Championship by Team Kunimitsu in 1996, based on a GT2 car entered in the 24 Hours of Le Mans the year prior. Honda would officially enter the championship in 1997 using these Dome-built cars; while initially not competitive performance began to pick up and it eventually became one of the most successful cars in the series. The NSX-GTs would long outlast their road-going counterparts; after the NSX was discontinued in 2005, the NSX-GTs continued to compete. Four further revisions, colloquially named Phase 2 through Phase 5, were introduced in 2000, 2003, 2005 and 2007. When the NSX-GT was retired in 2009, it had won 36 races and achieved two drivers' and three teams' championships. For 2010, the car was replaced by the Honda HSV-010 GT, a bespoke racing car developed for Super GT by Honda with no road-going counterpart; the NSX would return to compete in the GT500 category in 2016, based on the then-new 2017 Honda NSX.

This casting is a hybrid of a number of different NSX-GT models, featuring the general shape of the Phase 2 NSX-GTs but the top air scoop of the Phase 3 and onwards NSXs. This casting features a lightly sloped front bumper to allow it to negotiate loops and a different rear wing when compared to the real life NSX-GT. The casting was retooled in 2013, losing its plastic wing and having it cast into the body. The casting was given a wider stance and larger side splitter and skirts to resemble a racing NSX for its 2017 Race Day release.
