2012 Pike's Peak Challenge NSX
I talked to the Honda R&D team for quite a while. This car is full of rare parts. All the body panels are the carbon fiber LeMans pieces. It's now a twin turbo. Rev limit of about 8k. Spherical bearings all around...custom rollcage (quite hard with an aluminum body).

Yeah I think so. This is it's first time in public. I will attempt to get some video footage of the climb also. They said if it garners enough support and they do well enough they will try to improve on the current design and go again next year.

i find it amazing how they're still utilizing this same chassis, unchanged (to a certain extent), 20 years later and still competing with their competition of today.
of course there's other cars in different classes and/or other forms of racing that are doing the same but this is a honda forum and the nsx is our supercar.

Nice to see the car is getting some attention. Potentially a great car, but needs some different gearing and a properly oriented engine (longitudinal). Cruddy part was that it was on it's way to a really good time, but in the last segment it was wet. Engine is basically from the old LMP car.
Cheers!
