The HP-X or Honda Prototype Experimental was the first concept car from the brand and used the concept as a soft introduction for the coming NSX. 

The carbon fiber and Kevlar bodywork also utilized airbrakes and active aero to stretch the motorsport-derived 2.0L 24-valve V6 to its limit. The engine was derived from a Formula 2 engine.

The car was recently restored by Pininfarina in preparation for the event.
