NSX GT3: Honda's gauntlet for GT racing

Thanks to strict technical regulations ("Balance and Safety"), GT3 racing offers private teams with the necessary small change the opportunity to compete against really big racing drivers and teams (including Emil Frey Racing) with almost equal spars.

The competitiveness already proven
The brand-new GT3 completed over 85,000 race kilometers and test drives. Twelve race-ready vehicles are ready for the start of the 2018 season. Already in its first racing season at the North American IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in 2017, the Honda NSX GT3 won several times, qualifying for many other FIA racing events around the globe, including the Blancpain GT Series and the 24 Hours of Spa and Nürburgring.

JAS Motorsport is now taking orders for the race car and is responsible for sales and customer support in Europe, Asia (including China) and South America. HPD looks after the market in North America and Mugen that in Japan.

Technically close to the series model
The near-production 3.5-liter V6 twin-turbo engines are produced in parallel with the production model at the Anna engine plant in Ohio, USA. The race engine is virtually identical to the standard NSX, including engine block, cylinder heads, valve train, crankshaft, pistons and dry sump lubrication. A racing transmission with six-speed sequential shifting, state-of-the-art suspension and aerodynamic package round out the impressive performance features. The suspension points are also the same. In terms of safety, Honda already adopted various standards during development that will only become mandatory in the next few years.

Competitive price
JAS Motorsport offers the race-ready carbon version of the NSX at a retail price starting at 465ʼ000 euros. Additional options and customer support, including spare parts and distribution, training and engineering services are also on offer. By way of comparison, around 100,000 euros more is due for a comparable Ferrari 458 Italia GT3.
