The Acura NSX GT3 Is Delicious Carbon-Fiber-On-Carbon-Fiber Beauty
The Acura NSX GT3 Is Delicious Carbon-Fiber-On-Carbon-Fiber Beauty-November 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:30

Acura released photos of its newest NSX GT3 racer out at Michigan’s Gingerman Raceway in all its naked carbon glory. That’s the best kind of glory—let’s be honest. Please, come drool with us.

The NSX GT3 is expected to enter into competition in 2017, with Pirelli World Challenge team Realtime Racing often mentioned in the same breath. The car, which is produced alongside the road-going NSX in Ohio at Acura’s Performance Manufacturing Center, is due to be homologated and approved for competition in the GT3 class by the FIA this fall, per Acura’s latest

The car itself has several clever custom body tweaks besides enough carbon fiber to drive your average Honda fanboy insane, including an underbody diffuser and large deck wing spoiler. Enlarged hood vents keep the car’s 3.5-liter twin-turbo DOHC V6 happy and cool. The GT3 racer’s 75-degree twin-turbo V6 shares many components with its road car counterpart, too—including its dry sump system.

That V6 is hooked up to a six-speed sequential racing transmission that powers the only rear wheels for maximum post-race donut potential.

But man, this this is pretty. I don’t think there’s anything I love more on a car than light hitting the gentle waves and varied textures of exposed carbon-fiber weave. More photos like this, please. Liveries are nice and all, but look at it.

This Little Front-Wheel-Drive Renault Race Car Is A Donut Machine
Be surprised: the tidiest donuts I’ve seen in ages are from a front-wheel-drive car. Behold one Renault Clio IV RS 200 EDC smoking its front meats in a set of amazing pirouettes. Man, there are ballet dancers clumsier than this car. The Clio IV RS 200 EDC is the racing...

Alexander Rossi Wants Competitor Conor Daly To Find An IndyCar Ride Because Their Rent Is Due
Sometimes, people want the best for others out of the kindness and love in their hearts. Other times, it’s because time’s come to pay up. That seems to be the case with Verizon IndyCar Series driver Alexander Rossi, who (probably jokingly) said Tuesday that he really wants fellow driver Conor...

Stop Trying To Make The Women-Only F1 Series Happen
Here’s some exhausting garbage about women in motorsport to ruin your day: organizers are still trying to make that ridiculous happen in 2019. They’ve scrapped the goofy “SHE Championship” name, but it’s still the same infuriating, patronizing idea that no one really needs. The series plans to run a short,...

Hey BMW, Go To World Rallycross
Dearest BMW, purveyor of be-roundeled four- and two-wheel goods. There is a magical land where cars fly through the air and bounce off each other like angry little pinballs! It’s World Rallycross, and if you’re thinking about it, you should do it. Two-time DTM champ Timo Scheider confirmed to that...

Alfa Romeo Is Back In F1 With Sauber
