Before hitting the showrooms across the world later this year, Acura’s much-awaited all-new NSX will serve as the official pace car in the 93rd running of the Pikes Peak hill climb on June 28. With a racing-inspired livery, the twin-turbo charged pace car will lead the field of 140 entrants to the top of the 14,110-foot Colorado Mountain.
Powering the NSX through the 156-turn course is a twin-turbo V6 engine mated to a 9-speed dual clutch transmission and all-wheel drive system. The pace car has been prepared for the race by Honda R&D Americas, which is also leading the global development of the NSX which delivers in excess of 550bhp and has a sub-4 second acceleration time of zero to 100kmph.
The NSX is one of four Acura models making the Pikes Peak run, which also includes the ILX and TLX sports sedans and a previous generation NSX
