This just might be the baddest, most in-depth, technologically-sound build-up yet — An LS7 NSX with one purpose: Win.

Don’t get me wrong… I love the NSX. In stock form it’s a great car with perfect weight distribution, but the stock 3-liter six is definitely lacking in the power department. Some people might freak out at the thought of tearing one up, or give the “why does everyone put an LS everything?” Well, I’ll tell you why. They’re great motors that make gobs of power, and they do it reliably. Plus, they’ve been around long enough that parts can be found anywhere.

If you’ve made it this far, I’ll go ahead and say you’re not one of those people, and if you can’t tell by now, I’m a dude that appreciates insane amounts of fab work and a fine piece of automotive engineering. Now, on to the details.

The official name for this monster is the Ultimate Hybrid LS7NSX. Ben of Ms. Badwrench Racing decided to set out and build the ultimate hybrid, but not in the typical sense of the word. In short, this car is comprised of a Japanese chassis, an American engine, a German drivetrain and some Italian brakes. There’s no electric motor here — simply a combination of great parts.

At the heart, there’s a 750hp / 700 ft.-lbs 500ci LS7 tuned on E85 (less emissions, more timing, more power and better for the Earth!). The ethanol-drinking block is mated to a Porsche G50-50 5-speed box, custom built by California Motorsports and geared for road racing — this is considered Porsches strongest transmission… ever. Obviously, no cost has been spared thus far, so why not blow $8,000 on a Tilton triple disc carbon-carbon clutch with a 9 lb. flywheel? Pocket change.

To make this transplant work, while ensuring high speed stability, the chassis was widened to 78″, while the rear axle was pushed back 3″ and the front was moved forward 2″ — all together, a 5″ stretch for an end result of a 105″ wheelbase. I know, that’s a ton of numbers, but what this all equates to is a car setup eerily similar to a GT1 Corvette. With some Penske shocks and a prototype front end, this NSX will be off the wall insane. And about that front end, it’ll allow the driver to adjust front camber by plus-minus 7 degrees from inside the car. Crazy? Hell yeah.

To top it all off — and we’re beyond money growing on trees at this point — weight has been kept down to a miniscule 2600 lbs. Utilizing carbon fiber tilt front and rear ends (like the Ford GTs clam shell), carbon fiber half doors (like the Saleen S7) and 3/8″ Lexan glass for the windshield, side and rear windows. It doesn’t hurt that the new LS7 and Porsche transmission weigh 35 lbs. less than the original engine and tranny.

When complete, this NSX-derived supercar will do 200+mph, take turns effortlessly with its 50/50 weight distribution and it might make you studder a bit. I mean, the suspension alone is worth more than… well, probably whatever you’re driving now. I’ll keep an eye on the build for updates, but for the original thread, click here.
