V8... Hmmmm I know Honda tried a number of engine options in the NSX but wasn't aware of a production unit existing?

I wonder if this is a derivative of the old RA806E F1 engine or something a little less potent?? Either way Amo should buy it for his NSX - LOL!! ;)

If i had loads of money i'd get in touch with Vemac who mount the NSX engine longitudinally in their Elise like cars. With some nice throttle bodies and bigger displacement it would be quick, better balanced and the engine bay would actually look attractive...

a K20 in one of those alone is a fast car.

The 320 has quite a different body, a normal one is in the background:

Not sure if they've actually made any but you'll notice that has a UK plate.

Thanks Rob, link dead slow!, but just read about the said car in Evo! They reckon its as good or better than a Lotus Exige S!, but to import one into the UK, cost £45k! Thats alot a dough for an kit car to me abeit with a 217bhp K20 unit! :eek:

I'm having real trouble finding information about them... i know the company that makes the car is actually the Light Car Company, you may remember the Rocket they produced which was designed by Gordon Murray of McClaren fame.

The NSX engined version of the Vemac is used in the JGTC in the 300bhp class with 4 teams using it. There is also a 408R. 320R suggests it was a 3.2, so i'm not sure if they've moved onto a different engine since the NSX is no longer made.

I'd love to know how many NSX parts it's used.
