Ebbro 1/43 scale version of the Autobacs Racing Team Aguri Honda HSV-010 which competed in the 2012 season of Super GT in the GT500 Class...

"On October 23, 2009, Honda officially announced the end of the mid-engine NSX-GT's participation in Super GT racing, as it was only allowed to participate as an exception in the 2009 season. In principle, Super GT's 2009 regulations allowed the use of only front-engine rear-drive cars, and Honda did not have a FR successor car ready due to the economic environment at the time.

On November 15, 2009, Honda announced that, despite withdrawing the NSX from Super GT competition, it would campaign a car for the 2010 season. Honda revealed that the car would be based on the cancelled 'New NSX' production vehicle. Unlike typical Super GT cars, the vehicle is not based on any production vehicle that is made available to purchase by the general public. It is reported that although the Super GT normally requires racing vehicles to be based on production cars, the use of a production-ready car is also allowed. The 3.4 L HR10EG V8 engine was based on the HR09E built for Formula Nippon. On December 22, 2009, Honda announced the HSV-010 GT as the successor to the NSX Super GT in the Super GT series."
