Watch The New RWD Honda NSX GT3 Race Car Receive A Thorough Track Spanking
The new NSX GT3 car is seen (and heard!) undergoing testing in glorious naked carbonfibre form, ahead of its assault on the 2017 motorsport season
Due to FIA GT3 regulations, the racing version of the new NSX is rear-wheel drive as opposed to all-wheel drive, having lost the road-going car’s hybrid system and trio of electric motors.
However, what it loses in hybrid power it gains in carbonfibre bodywork, seen here and in recent official images without any paintwork getting in the way of the glorious weave.
It also has a huge rear wing, an underbody diffuser and larger vents to cool the turbocharged V6 engine, which sends its power to the rear wheels via a six-speed sequential gearbox.
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.
