DOME is a legendary Japanese constructor for many different race series, but also manages two Honda NSX racers in the Super GT series. The #18 TAKATA car is one of them. Utilizing a twin-turbocharged transverse V6 descended from the unit found in the road-going NSX, the car makes right around the 500 horsepower limit of the GT500 class. Wearing an attractive green, white, and black livery, the NSX’s unique shape has adapted well to the aggressive aero package common in Super GT racing. In 2006, the efforts of the DOME team with the NSX would pay off, as the car won outright at Okayama. It’s worth noting that the substantially similar sister car, the #8 ARTA NSX, took second place overall in the class championship in 2005.
