Get A Load Of This Naked Carbonfibre 2017 Acura NSX GT3 Race Car

It’s pretty much science fact that cars look cooler in pure, naked carbonfibre. With that in mind, we were more than a little excited when Acura dropped these images of the 2017 NSX GT3 car testing at Michigan’s GingerMan Raceway in - you guessed it - pure, naked carbonfibre. Can I get a hnnng?

It’s expected to receive its FIA GT3 homologation this autumn, and it’ll be a much simpler beast than the road-going NSX. It features neither a four-wheel drive system, nor a hybrid powertrain.

You do get the same 3.5-litre, mid-mounted V6 found in the road car though, which sends all of its power to the rear via a six-speed sequential gearbox.

The racing version also features a massive rear wing, an underbody diffuser and larger vents to cool the V6 engine.

The car will get its first taste of competition in the 2017 motorsport season.

Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

As it is naked so censor it.

I think I’m looking at the Metal Gear of race cars.
When is that NSFW mark going to be made?

At first i was like…

But then I remembered this

It’s the Dinka Jester!

So uh… how is this going to match up power wise to the giants? CF is nice and all, and I want 3 of these in my garage yesterday but that 3.5 L seems way underfed for GT3.
