Honda has finally revealed official details and pics of the HSV-10 GT, its new Super GT racer - the car that was originally destined to become the road-going replacement for the NSX.

Climate change panic and the small matter of a global economic meltdown put paid to the new NSX, leaving this as that car's only 'living' relative.

Power comes from a Mugen-assembled engined V8 originally designed for Formula Nippon single-seaters, the body is built by Japanese racing specialists Dome, and the whole thing has been designed by Honda's in-house R&D team.

Spec fans can dribble over the finer points of the HSV-10 GTs technical attributes below, while everyone can enjoy the pictures...

What a mighty car! So, will it kill the Gozilla (ie. Nissan GTR) in the Super GT series? How "sexy" -- in automobile terms -- is it?

Sound like a F1 car with a bit less power, love it

Go go, Godzilla!

Heh, love that on GH5.

Wow that's loud.

This is "meh".

Looks great!

Love that car, but I prefer the sound of the NSX or S2000
