HRC’s 1300-HP Trophy Truck Is the Most Badass Honda Passport Ever

This new cutting-edge machine features a powerful hybrid system and a twin-turbo V-6 like Acura’s IMSA race car.

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. That’ll be a lie; the Baja Spec shares nothing more than a name with the mainstream Passport. But it’ll also give you street cred in your kids’ mind, ‘cause your car will be associated with the most badass Passport ever made.

The Honda Passport Baja Spec is a new state-of-the-art racing machine that was developed to compete in the top Trophy Truck class of the 2027 SCORE World Desert Championship. If you didn’t know, Honda has a long history with Baja racing dating back to the early ‘60s, and it played a role in the first official running of the Baja 1000. Following 22 overall victories in that legendary race, Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) will make its new trophy truck the first hybrid vehicle to compete in California’s premier off-road endurance racing series.

4-liter V-6 that’s based on the engine in Acura’s ARX-06 IMSA race car, and it’s paired with an 800-volt hybrid system. The latter features a lightweight battery pack with a carbon-fiber shell that protects pouch cells similar to the ones used in Formula 1 racing.
