Honda's Exotic RC213V-S
Some Sobering Parts Costs And A Dyno Run Video
Some Sobering Parts Costs And A Dyno Run Video
If you'd been fast enough with your checkbook several months back, you may have scored one of these race machines in street clothes. But like a new pet puppy, the initial buy-in is just the tip of the iceberg. If you plan to run this beast in anger, here's a partial list of the cost of spares.
Exhaust System = $24,000
Fuel Tank = $5000
Oil Change = $565
Forks = $22,600
Throttle Bodies = $16,300
Oh, and after about 2000 miles of race use plan on replacing the major engine internals. Ouch.
At Performance Engineering (http://performance-engineering.co.uk) they've prepped an RC213V-S for some endurance racing next season. Here's a video they shot during the initial run-in on their dyno. This was a break-in session, but if you skip to 3:45 they give the machine its head. The fire breathing exhaust on deceleration is pretty cool.
