第二代讴歌NSX登陆纽约车展,不过这次亮相的是GT3规格车型。该车基于2017款NSX道路版,GT3版本采用更具侵略性车身和硕大尾翼及车底散流器,更大引擎盖散热孔为3.5升V6双涡轮引擎进一步降温。讴歌表示,该引擎设计和规格与标准版车型一样,但搭配的是六速顺序式变速箱。虽然标准版NSX采用全轮驱动,但GT3版本则是后轮驱动,而且并没有配备电子辅助系统。NSX GT3并没有最终完工,讴歌还将对该车进行进一步的测试和调校,预计今年秋季将完成最终测试,该车将参加2017赛季的比赛。
RWD Acura NSX GT3 breaks cover ahead 2017 race debut
The second-generation Acura NSX has landed in New York in GT3 specification, prior to its racing debut slated for next year.
Based on the road-going 2017 NSX, the GT3 version features a considerably more aggressive body with a massive rear wing and an underbody diffuser. It also boasts larger hood vents to cool down the biturbo 3.5-liter V6 sourced from the regular model. Acura says the engine will have the same design and specifications, but in the GT3 car it will be linked to a six-speed sequential-shift gearbox, thus replacing the nine-speed automatic transmission.
While the regular NSX has an all-wheel drive system, its racing derivative will come with a RWD layout and without the electrical assistance. Such a setup could be offered on a hardcore NSX Type R set to arrive in the years to come, but it’s too early to say whether it will actually happen.
Getting back to the race car at hand, the NSX GT3 is currently undergoing development, testing, and final homologation to comply with the FIA GT3 global racing specifications. Honda Performance Development is in charge of getting the car ready for racing and it is estimated the NSX GT3 will receive the necessary homologation this fall, with the racing debut slated for the 2017 season.
