Acura ARX-05 DPi and Acura NSX GT3 Evo - Swap Meet at Sebring!

Championship-winning Acura-powered drivers Ricky Taylor and Trent Hindman are no strangers to high-tech, high-performance Acura racing machines, but neither had driven the other’s class of IMSA race car. With a shared desire to try different equipment, each racer made the most of a unique opportunity to swap seats in the Acura ARX-05 DPi and Acura NSX GT3 Evo. In early February, before social distancing guidelines went into effect, the two Acura Motorsports champions met at the famed Sebring International Raceway and climbed behind the wheel to drive a mile (or several) in the other’s race shoes. Taylor normally pilots the Acura Team Penske ARX-05 in the IMSA Daytona Prototype class, while Hindman races the Acura NSX GT3 Evo in the IMSA GTD class for Meyer Shank Racing. Both drivers led their teams to class championships in the 2019 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar season. Race Car Highlights The differences between the two cars are stark. The NSX GT3 Evo is based on the production NSX supercar, sharing more than 80 percent of its underlying component parts, including the engine block, turbochargers and multi-material space frame. The Acura ARX-05, on the other hand, is a purpose-built race car constructed of lightweight carbon fiber, capable of generating 3,000 lbs. of downforce and powered by a 600-horsepower twin-turbocharged V6 based on the production J35-series engine found in the Acura MDX, TLX and RLX. While vastly different in terms of speed and capability, the two race cars share a track during most of the IMSA season, with DPi cars regularly passing the GT3 machines during races.
