Honda’s already-strong presence at this year’s Pikes Peak International Hill Climb has been boosted with the official unveiling of its NSX supercar-inspired EV concept.

Called, not surprisingly, the NSX EV Concept, the new racer joins two ‘regular’ NSX hybrids as competitors at the 100th running of Pikes Peak, both of which were unveiled earlier this month.

The EV Concept will race under Honda’s Acura arm in the Electric Modified Class, powered by a newly-developed version of Honda’s all-electric, four-motor Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) powertrain.

The SH-AWD racer won last year’s Challenge Exhibition Class at Pikes Peak, and a pair of EV racer claimed first and second positions outright for the first time in the event’s history.

Handling the SH-AWD technology on that occasion in the body of a Honda CR-Z was Tetsuya Yamano, who will front up for Honda again this year to drive the NSX concept.
