Honda Cars : 2015 Honda NSX to Become Non-Hybrid Racer | 2013 New Honda Car Reviews 0

Automakers are trying to convince us they can make hybrid sportscars that are as economical as diesel econoboxes on tiny wheels, but still offer all the thrills. We’re not so convinced, because once you actually do want to get on the gas, that power, be it electric or fuel-based, has to come from something.

But Honda doesn’t seem to be going back on its word and is making the next NSX into an all-wheel drive hybrid.

The NSX has been off the radar for a number of years now, and the Japanese have to actually prove their car is worth our attention. And to do this they will unleash it onto the track.

But the racing version of the NSX might be a conventionally-powered, non-hybrid car, at least according to an AutoGuide report.

According to them Honda will race their sportscar in the American Grand Am series, which currently does not allow hybrids. However, a new class could be created soon, as Mazda has announced a diesel racer for next year.

What’s more, the NSX will race in Japan in the Super GT Series, which would also forbid a hybrid AWD car under current regulations.
