Im sure your wondering wtf HSV means? As did I! The meaning being Honda Sports Velocity. Honda found a loop hole in the Super GT rules that's pretty much came down to they only needed to produce one production model of a car they could compete in the Super GT series and so here we are. Honda's 2010 Super GT contender the HSV-010 GT. Powered by a 3.4 liter V8 most likely making 500bhp and using a 6 speed sequential transmission as all the other teams. Honda stopped development of their NSX replacement back in December of 2008, and shortly after pulled out of the F1 racing due to the hard times in our economy. Now more than 2 years later the new rules in Super GT are that all cars on the gird must have a front engine rear wheel drive layout. Which kicks the mid engine NSX straight to the curb. So Honda not missing a beat found the loop hole and here we are... the race car HSV 010 that never was nothing more then ONE prototype/development/production sports car!
