HPD new P2 engine might be delayed until 2016 because of recent production NSX development problems(fire in Germany and crash in Japan).

MagVanisher · 25 Jul 2014, 15:40 (Ref:3437753)

Bad news! Looks like the production model of the NSX will be delayed, as well as GT3/GTE aspirations. I hope it's not electrical problems that caused the fire.

There is no new P2 engine.

The NSX is not an HPD project.

Do you work for HPD?

Articus · 25 Jul 2014, 17:04 (Ref:3437789)

No one said the NSX was an HPD project because it isn't. However when racing is involved HPD would do the GTE NSX if it ever comes, and they would modify the NSX engine for P2 duty if it was required. Nothing here sounds unreasonable.

I'm eager to see the HR28TT dumped...

Production NSX has two teams working on it with two teams working on the Racing NSX.

Honda Co(HondaRacing and Dome working with them) and HNA(HPD is working with them).

So the engine I work on doesn't exist?

Articus · 25 Jul 2014, 18:50 (Ref:3437819)

Honda sure has the alphabet soup of working groups...When will they rename Wirth research

^ Two of these things are statements.

The third was a question which, of course, you are under no obligation to answer but I think I have established that you do not work for HPD. Perhaps you work for Honda in some other capacity but it certainly isn't in Santa Clarita.

All kinds of rumors and stories abound about who is doing what with which car, anything could be partly true but bear in mind that companies such as Honda have very strict rules about confidentiality and are very serious about breaches of that confidentiality. Anyone who has attended one of their mandatory courses will know that and won't be on the internet telling the world about which engines may be in production and their potential uses.

The existence of any engine you may be working on is not reliant on my response to your question.

The point is I know who you are but you don't know who I am.I could be looking at you at the moment(laughing inside)and you wouldn't know it!

AHM has been turning the shop down looking for me for the last two years!

They thought I was in HPD.

They know me by RolledaNSX.
Ask your boss about me?

Christian Mogami · 25 Jul 2014, 19:59 (Ref:3437837)

Think...... If I was looking at the racing version engine of the NSX.

Why would I be in a shop next too Magic Mountain?

"So the engine I work on doesn't exist?"

We really hate to break it to you ...

Is the HR28TT in the HPD a stressed member?

ARX-04b update

ESM has bought two but might only race one in TUSCC with the other race WEC.(wild card....Rahal and ESM might become one team in Indy and WEC)

Andretti bought one and the other is pending and they haven't decided if they will race TUSCC or WEC.

SPM bought one and will race TUSCC.

Of the two ARX that was going to a WEC team(Krohn changed is mind and bought a Ligier)and the other team is still a secret.

Articus · 7 Aug 2014, 19:58 (Ref:3442308)

What's the benefit to Honda calling these things "HPD Coupe's"?

Why not call it an Acura again? or even just a Honda?

Is it to avoid the whole manufacturer in P2 debate?

So Ford can throw it's own body over it in 2017 and still claim it's a Ford! (And not a Fonda - or Facura)

Yeah apparently they bought one. It would be silly of them not to run TUDOR. but i think the main motivator is all of these Indy teams are getting help from Honda because of their ties.

I have the feeling that the Indy teams will get the same treatment as any other team buying a chassis. But maybe already knowing hpd staff will just make the relationship easier.
