The Benchmark for Track-Tolerant Engineering
In the high-stakes supercar arena, pure horsepower is no longer enough to claim supremacy.

If you want your kids to think the Honda Passport parked in your driveway is more than a run-of-the-mill three-row mid-size SUV, show them a picture of this new race truck, which not only wears the Passport name, but features a front end that faithfully resembles the crossover’s mug. “Daddy’s/mommy’s car is based on a race car,” you can tell them.
