As the Honda NSX Concept-GT in this video->ke278 will demonstrate, the days of an actual painted livery on your racecar->ke148 seem to be largely over. And while we might miss the Gulf Oil Ford GT40s and John Player Special Lotus->ke49 F1->ke190 cars, the amazing speed of the transformation of this NSX->ke307 is difficult to deny. Admittedly, the vinyl is going on over a base of white paint, but not much of this is left uncovered by the end, and there are certainly some cars that hit the track wearing nothing but vinyl over carbon-fiber bodywork.

Motorsports->ke447 are going to be a very important part of the life of the 2016 Honda/Acura NSX, as the original version of the car was developed with help from none other than F1 legend Ayrton Senna. And indeed the black, white and red color scheme on this car's livery may well be intended to evoke memories of the Marlboro livery on the Honda-powered McLaren car in which Senna won all three of his world championships.
