    LoveFab to use an Acura NSX-based car at Pikes Peak

     

    Testing begins next month

    LoveFab has prepared an Acura NSX-based racer known as "Turbo by Garrett/LoveFab Pikes Peak Enviate" for this year's Pikes Peak.
    Except for the suspension and subframes which are taken from an NSX, all the other components were removed as LoveFab fabricated their own parts. Powering the car is a V8 LS1 engine wrapped in a full carbon fiber body and a chromoly-tube chassis.
    It offers 800 lb-ft (1,083 Nm) of torque and tips the scales at less than 2,000 lbs (907 kg), a combination which should be more than suitable for the challenge. Testing is scheduled to begin next month, before Pikes Peak which will be organized on June 30 in Colorado, U.S.
    As a reminder, Sébastien Loeb will race a Peugeot 208 T16 at the event.
