"Project 96" Honda Accord Aerodeck for SEMA 2021!

In 1996 the off-road and performance rim manufacturer founded "Fifteen52“His company and at the same time the Honda Accord dominated the Japanese Touring Car Championship, winning eight of the twelve races there. And now, exactly 25 years later, a SEMA project vehicle remembers with one Honda Type-R Crate Engine of the memorable year. The idea for this came from Fifteen52 and the manufacturer Honda announced with the "The project 96“A name for the idea. And the result is a 1996 Honda Accord station wagon (Aerodeck / Station Wagon) with a brand new one Civic Type R engine (K20C1) under the sheet. For the most part, the vehicle was dated Honda PerformanceDevelopment (HPD) and from Mountune developed and he is one of three project vehicleswith the FK8 type R motors are equipped. The other two are one CRX , and a S2000. Except for a few special ones Piping and an X-clutch clutch disc are the powertrain and also the Brembo brakes Incidentally, taken from the FK8 in the factory state.

Of course, they rotate in the wheelhouses Fifteen52 Super Touring Podium Rims and the white rounds are equipped with Toyo RR performance tires. The from After hours automotive Incidentally, the built body hides a Tein Street Advance Z coilover kit with Hardrace wishbones and tie rods. There is an ultra-light one in the cabin Carbon dashboard, a roll cage and you sit in Sparco sports seats with racing belts and enjoys a Quick release-Sport steering wheel.

Like every seat and belt combination from racing, the combination of course significantly restricts the movement of the driver and forces him to focus on the Spiegel having to leave the car. And they are unique replicas of the aerodynamic housings from the original JTCC Accord from then. Incidentally, the car also convinces us with that JACCS paintworkknown from the Hondas of the then FIA Group A, JTCC series.

320 PS & 400 NM in the Accord Aerodeck

And in order to preserve the authenticity, even the Lighting converted from Project 96 to the JDM specification of that time. Unfortunately, apart from the performance, no further key data for Project 96 were published, which would be particularly interesting with regard to a possible lap time on a racetrack. However, we believe that the one-off is only marginally slower than a FK8 Type R is. Maybe it is with the 2,0-liter VTEC turbo engine and the 320 PS & 400 NM but even faster, because certainly a few kilograms lighter !?
