Drift Honda Element w NSX twin turbo engine!
The Honda Element-D Drift Car
Powered by a twin turbo longitudinally mounted C32 from an NSX putting out over 500 BHP through a custom rear end and unspecified transmission. Honda R & D NA will be putting together a team to compete in the 2007 Formula D season.
This thing is awesome!

The element 5 speed is very similar but they did change the dash a little for the SC trim level. It very well may be but I can't tell.

Re: (monkeyboy8me)
only 500?
No, seriously. You have kids putting out 500 on a B18. Then you have a HU NSX running on the west coast putting down around 700. And Honda R&D only came up with 500 on a twin turbo?

not sure if they were coming out with the highest HP ever though.
a balanced vehicle is what is needed for a drift vehicle.

are you kidding me? I rarely visit this forum. But you tell me at what boost, and show me a power band. My guess is that those 500-700hp cars are purpose built and I'm PRETTTY sure Honda did their homework before building this as to what would be the best setup, as far as response, overall power, power to weight ratio, engine placement, weight distribution.
500hp in a van? (what ever sort of vehicle you want to call that) that looks to be around 2400lbs.
There are 100,000hp diesel generator piston engines why don't they use those in top fuel drag cars???

Re: (lookoutdriftS13)
See, I knew my point would be taken wrong. I'm not talking about the car or the chassis or the type of "racing" it's going to be doing. I was just going by the title of a "twin turbo NSX" and I was a little puzzled as to the 500 number. I'm sure for that type of chassis in that type of race, they probably work well for each other. But you have local tuner shops putting out purpose built get-the-chit-beat-out-of-them track cars with 700 hp. My point was that with the resources of the Honda R&D department and the hype of a twin turbo, I just expected something a little bit more.

500 ponies on a stripped chassis sounds like more than enough to me
****...200 ponies in a strpped chassis is enough for a drifter if you know how to drive it right
it ain't all about the high numbers but usable numbers for their purpose

The Honda Element-D (D for drifting) racecar shows what can happen when enthusiastic Honda associates raid the company parts bin. Built for the racing sport of drifting, the Honda Element-D racecar replaces the stock 4-cylinder/Real Time(TM) 4WD drivetrain with a custom-designed and longitudinally-mounted 3.2-liter Honda V6 and rear-wheel-drive.
Producing 500-horsepower, the lightweight twin-turbocharged powerhouse is guaranteed to light up the rear tires and accelerate sideways at full opposite lock. Associates from Honda R&D Americas, Inc., in Ohio plan to campaign the Element-D in the 2007 Formula Drift Series.
