wow that's incredible. I'm really liking it and that orange they used is great. Probably the most exciting thing to come out of Honda since the s2k.

Just a "look what we can do" exercise by Mugen.

The race engine ain't production spec and probably won't last more than a few thousand miles. But this is pretty exciting for Honda fans who has long for an V8.

Japanese always wear mask when they carry cold/flu. Nothing to do with SARS.
