That will surely be one amazing car. When you think about it, a normally aspirated Honda will match a 911 Turbo's 0-60!

230 ft./lbs torque from an engine making 360 hp?
Something tells me this is just a hoax.

Nope, that engine has an insane redline (9000rpm!) and the 360hp is at 8300rpm. On top of that, the thing is lighter than a Miata!
