Honda fans have been in the dark for years – “will we ever see another Honda/Acura NSX in North America?” Well all, cheer up, you may have one as early as 2011. For lovers of Honda in Canada and The United States we have fantastic news: 2011 may bring a production model Honda Supercar.

An unsourced report says that a road-ready version of the HSV-010 GT race car, which will be redubbed Honda NSX (and an Acura variant as well) is being developed to fight the Lexus LFA.

The Honda HSV-010 GT uses a 3.4-liter V8 engine generating 493 horsepower. Honda’s production NSX would come with a 5.0-liter V8 engine. The production version would likely be both narrower and less defined than the race model, and be sold without a rear spoiler.

A new version of the supercar was officially canceled during the peak of the auto industry’s economic crisis. With stiff competition rising up, Honda figured it was time to fight back.

The Honda/Acura NSX was a popular yet hard-to-find sports car built for competition in Japan’s Super GT event. Now, Honda has an all new replacement for this race – 2010′s HSV. The Super GT face off is a rare event – featuring production cars as racers. Honda (Acura’s in North America) NSX was a favorite of the Japanese Super GT scene. Since that ride has gone to that big parking garage in the sky it was time to belly up and design a new production competition car. Honda seems to have done so with their HSV.

The new model uses a 3.4-liter V8 engine, as required by race series rules. The Honda HSV-010 GT will debut during the March 20-21 season opening race weekend at Suzuka Circuit in south-central Japan.
