Pininfarina styling for JAS Motorsport’s first road car

Milan & Turin, 21 July 2025: After 30 years of international success in motorsport as a manufacturer of winning cars in Touring Car, GT and Rally categories, JAS Motorsport is proud to announce that, for the first time, it is to produce a high-performance road car bearing its name.

For this exciting challenge, JAS Motorsport will collaborate with the legendary Pininfarina design house to reimagine one of the most iconic sportscars of the past and offer it to the world of car enthusiasts and collectors.

Pininfarina will design and style the car, which has been created on a mechanical platform embracing the very latest automotive technology. Construction of what will be an extremely limited-edition production model will take place at JAS Motorsport headquarters in Arluno, Milan.

The collaboration between JAS Motorsport and Pininfarina will create a sportscar respectful of its origins and its distinctive appearance, but with modern styling cues that will dress a chassis at the forefront of cutting-edge construction technology embracing immersive driving and dynamism.

Further information about the project will be announced in stages during the lead-up to the project reveal in the first half of 2026.

Please use Honda JNC1 V6! That engine deserves another chance in something more performance oriented.

Will this be a wheels up new vehicle or will they go the lazy route and build it off a Lamborghini or Ferrari chassis?

I agree, the NSX could have been a much better car.

Who knows. I would guess a lot of it will be bespoke, with JAS Motorsport wanting to showcase what they can do.

It's crazy that they only sold 3,000 cars. Imagine the development costs for all that tech, which didn't get reused in other models for the most part.

I am surprised they haven’t built a Type-R or a roadster.

JAS Motorsport and Pininfarina bring iconic NSX back to life

Arluno & Turin, October 27, 2025: Important new details can today be released regarding JAS Motorsport’s first high-performance road car, developed in collaboration with Pininfarina. This will be a derivative of the 1990-generation Honda NSX and will offer enthusiasts and collectors a modern definition of the Grand Touring concept that underpins the NSX's DNA: high-performance, perfectly-balanced and safe on the road, yet equally at home on the track.

JAS Motorsport’s cooperation with Pininfarina - which has styled the car - is proceeding to schedule and is moving toward the ‘dressing’ of the working development prototype, which will result in an ultra-limited series production at JAS Motorsport’s Atelier in Arluno, Milan. The modern body, created by Pininfarina, will be constructed entirely of carbon fibre. Beginning with a donor car (a production vehicle from the early 1990s chosen for its chassis and mechanical base), it will be available with left- or right-hand drive and fitted with refined mechanical elements derived from the world of motorsport, in which JAS Motorsport-built or prepared cars have won World titles and more than 900 events.

Pininfarina has also transferred its historic ability to blend beauty and functionality to the cockpit of JAS Motorsport's first high-performance road car. Starting from the layout of the first NSX series, the redesign extolls the original philosophy announced at its debut in 1990. "A car functions through a direct connection with the driver and passenger, wrote Honda 35 years ago. “Its quality is determined by whether or not it inspires enthusiasm in the driver." The engine will be an original NSX-inspired, naturally-aspirated V6, engineered and developed to obtain the highest levels of power, torque and responsiveness, and mated to a six-speed manual transmission to enhance performance, dynamism and driving pleasure. Further details of the project, including its name, will be revealed in due course, leading upto the first public unveil of the car in the first half of 2026.

Looks gorgeous, I am curious what was done with the engine.

My favorite automotive news this week. I look forward to seeing it.

Everybody wants to be Singer

There is plenty of demand for expensive and exclusive cars. Pininfarina’s involvement makes this project extra special. Demand should be good from fans of Japanese cars who have zero interest in European supercars.

 

[SNB]

They’re right to turn to the 80s and 90s now. You have the awesome HWA EVO, Singer’s Carrera Coupe, this JAS NSX, and Guntherwerks is working on an E30 project.

The modern body, created by Pininfarina, will be constructed entirely of carbon fibre.

This shits all over the what the NSX was all about, it should be aluminium like the original. The NSX was the first general production car to feature an all aluminium semi-monocoque.

Yes, and I think it’s great to see so many of these restomod shops giving these old cars a second life by restoring them to their former glory and making them even better. I love what JAS-Pininfarina are doing with the NSX. The styling mods are very elegant and not over the top, and there is plenty of scope to upgrade the original NSX’s powertrain, brakes, and suspensions.

Another restomod shop I admire is Automobili Maggiore and what they are doing with the Ferrari 308GTS/GTB. Their top of the line GranTurismo in collaboration with the late Ferrari 288GTO/F40 engineer Nicola Materazzi looks fantastic with performance to match. But I’m not sure how many have been built and sold.

Studio Fioravanti is engineering the Ferrari F40 to make it less of a handful by giving it new modernized suspension and brake setup.

I just love how these passionate engineers and craftsmen pour their heart and soul into their amazing creations. But OEM’s such as Porsche and Ferrari are becoming much stricter with how these restomod shops “reimagine” their products. I understand they may view these creations as sacrilege or undesired competition for their in-house restoration business, but hopefully they will not suffocate these restomod shops.

And none come close in execution.

This is blatantly clear if you watch the top gear video of Mate, Chris and Rob testing each other's hypercars.

I singer Porsches had everyone spell struck.

It's funny how both Pininfarina and Italdesign are doing a similar type of project rn.

Reminds me of when GTO Engineering announced their 250 SWB Squalo, only for RML to barge in with a much less ambitious but cheaper 550 based restomod, and steal their thunder, to the point where we've never heard about Squalo ever again.

This could end up in a similar way.

I like Officine Fioravanti because they don't f#ck with the design. You can barely even tell a difference between stock Testarossa and OF modified one.

Did the GTO Squalo ever get made? I feel like I’ve heard nothing about it after they announced it.

Also, Officine Fioravanti are appearantly doing a two tiered approach to restomoding; cohesive upgrades (Alfaholics-esque) and a more insane overhaul package (Singer-esque).

I've seen an Eagle Speedster and a Singer, I don't think you could say the Singer is better executed. The Eagle looks special, its clearly not a standard E-Type, but for the majority of people a Singer is just an old Porsche.

The carbon work and the engineering on the Singer is above and beyond even Eagle (and I love them), add to that all the engineering partners Singer has had in the past; Cosworth, Williams, BBS etc.

 

[KiwiRob]

I saw the Eagle and the Singer when we were in the UK a few years ago, my wife clocked the Eagle first, she's not a car person at all, but knows what an E-type is and could see it was far from a standard E.

Unless the Singer is one of these

Which is effing cool, most people won't take much notice.

I'm pretty sure this is the Eagle we saw. Which brings me to my next point there are hundreds of Singers and very few Eagles.
