"While most GT500 cars are front-engined, this baby has the 2.0-litre inline 4-cylinder turbo engine in the middle, and a hybrid system that adds 50 hp to the 550 horses produced by those controlled explosions. Being a silhouette racer, the list of common parts with the upcoming roadgoing NSX probably ends with the lamps

Honda unleashes NSX-GT for 2017 Super GT
Honda unleashes NSX-GT for 2017 Super GT - Racing News
To conform with Super GT rules and regulations, the NSX gets a powerplant overhaul. It loses the 3.5-liter bi-turbo V6 and instead gets a highly-tuned 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four with direct injection. Honda expects the engine to produce 590 PS to the rear wheels. With the driver inside, the NSX-GT weighs in at 1,049 kg (no fuel).
