SUZUKA, Japan — Honda has yet to unveil any further details on its HSV-10 GT racer, but thanks to a fan on the ground at Suzuka Circuit it's now possible to watch videos of the multiple NSX successors in action on the tarmac.
Four different HSV-10, or Honda Sports Velocity, vehicles were caught at Suzuka, meaning the Japanese automaker will most likely be using all four in the upcoming 2010 season of the Super GT Series. It's not yet known what drivers will be piloting the four racing cars, but there is confirmation that the GT500-class cars will wear the numbers 8, 18, 32 and 100 when they debut.
The video above is just a quick tease of the HSV-10 hitting a corner on the circuit; both YouTube users UltimateSnakeProject and scivi1600 have many other videos uploaded on their respective channels.
As already announced, Honda will use a 500-plus-horsepower front-mounted 3.4-liter V8 under the hood. Power will be sent to the rear wheels via the same six-speed sequential manual transmission that both Nissan and Toyota are using in their Super GT vehicles.
The vehicle will hit the Suzuka Circuit for real at its introductory race. The event is March 20 and 21.
Inside Line says: Stay tuned for more details as we approach the Honda Sports Velocity's debut March race. — Mike Lysaght, Correspondent

I saw 3 of these Honda HSV-10GT on you tube.there is a 10 minutes video on you tube.these cars mean serious business and its unlikely to be future NSX.because these cars have v8 that probably cost 250k just for engine alone.If or when the NSX come will have a v10 that is already production ready and tested numorous times.and v10 will cost alot less than this v8 in these cars.anyways if everybody go on you tube and type Honda HSV-010 GT, they will find an amazing 10 minutes video,make sure turn up your speaker volume and hear the sound of these cars.Iam impressed.
