2010 NSX (HSV-010 GT)

Closest thing we'll get to a new NSX for now. I've been a bit out of the loop in keeping up with these new events, but looks like Honda wants to be more competitive in Super GT racing so they're doing development on this NSX so that teams can run a newly developed car from Honda. Damn this thing looks beastly. At first when Japan looked like it was going to stop with super cars, but then we saw LF-A come back to life and now this NSX? I'm sure plenty of car guys will eat this up. It has a striking resemblance to the old 2003 Honda HSC concept.

Probably the fastest treamill ever

Haas Automation and Jacobs Engineering has built a treadmill for cars, why? Because it's meant to go inside wind tunnels. Sounds extreme right? But according to them totally worth it. This is because for aircraft, which wind tunnels were designed for, don't have any surfaces around them to mess with the experiment. However a stationary car in a wind tunnel does. And this causes some errors in engineer's calculations. So how to solve the problem? Built a treadmill capable of supporting a car and that can spin fast enough to have a car moving (stationary) at over 180mph! This way their is a road surface that is moving and the tires are also spinning, now engineers can more accurately measure wind that moves around a vehicle's underside, which is VERY important especially to race cars, which this whole bonanza is meant for.
