ARTA has continued to modify the current-generation Honda NSX even though the car is approaching the end of its useful lifespan. The vehicle they presented to Tokyo Auto Salon, dubbed "Legavelo," is a carbon-bodied NSX restricted to just 5 units.

Even while the blacked-out Honda NSX may seem edgy and rough, its design is claimed to be inspired by the function-over-form philosophy of GT racing cars. The body package comprises new bumpers, fenders, a new hood, side skirts, a new tailgate, a new wing, a new roof, a new B-pillar, as well as a new fuel door, all of which are carbon fiber strengthened.

New suede upholstery, as well as carbon and silver trim, have been added to the inside. ARTA's racing expertise, on the other hand, ensures that Honda NSX's kit is more than just a showpiece, as it includes a functioning diffuser and fender air vents to alleviate pressure in the wheel wells.

Additional performance enhancements include custom-designed forged aluminum wheels and a quad-barrel exhaust system inspired by the Pagani Huayra. Apart from that exhaust, the car's 3.5-liter hybrid V6 engine produces 573 hp (581 PS / 427 kW) and 476 lb-ft (645 Nm) of torque.

It's also worth noting that because all of the car's body panels are now made of carbon fiber, the vehicle is likely lighter and more dynamic. The package costs 25,300,000 Japanese Yen  (USD 222,511) and does not include the cost of the donor Honda NSX, according to ARTA's website.
