Not to be outdone by
Lexus and its
new LF-CC racecar,
Honda is also bringing a little more excitement to the
Japanese Super GT racing series with its NSX Concept-GT. Yes, just like the original
NSX, this racecar will wear the Honda badge in its home market when it replaces the current offering in that series, the non-production
HSV-010 GT, which itself
replaced the NSX in the series back in 2010.

Suzuka Circuit before running the full 10-race 2014 season.
