There isn’t two vehicles that are polar opposites to each other than a Kei truck and a Japanese supercar yet this mad genius happened to combine them.

Twitter is a wonderful and strange place at times where I come across mostly car related oddities that most of the time I throw a like at and nothing more. But this, this is something that I have to write some words about. As per twitter user @kilin_rc and a series of images he shared yesterday he somehow managed to combine a Honda Acty truck and Acura NSX into one vehicle, and, at twenty feet from my computer screen, the darn’d thing sort of makes sense.

Consider the NSX, a fine supercar in its own right. The NSX is reliable enough, powerful with a legendary C32B VTEC engine capable of 270 HP and 210 lb-ft, and quite the looker taking styling cues from Italy’s best. To some, it’s perfection.

On the other end of the spectrum is the Honda Acty, it has one purpose, to haul stuff in tight spaces. A car mostly styled by function, its cab-over design makes it easy to drive and the space in the bed out back gives you room to haul stuff. It’s the antithesis of a supercar with just enough power from its 650cc engine to prevent it from rolling back, stopped at a hill. With 43 HP and 33 lb-ft. I reckon if you turn on the factory AC, you might overstress the engine.

But, for one brief moment in someone’s mind, they thought that combining the two would achieve some greater purpose. It’s a cab-over NSX with all the performance of a supercar but the utility of a truck. Nevermind that they left out the most imporatnt bit, the engine. Perhaps it’s relocated underneath the bed or under the rear cover.

Oh, and there’s gull-wing doors to further add to the absurdity. It’s a design practice at best of someone who’s either tired or hungry and, as they say, an effort was made.

I’ve given this chap a follow and hope he comes up with more beautiful mashups like this one.
