Honda Is Taking On Baja With A 1,300-HP Hybrid Passport

Honda has unveiled the Passport Baja Spec, a 1,300-horsepower hybrid Trophy Truck designed to compete for overall victory at the Baja 1000. The vehicle pairs a 2.4-liter twin-turbocharged V6 derived from Acura's ARX-06 prototype with an 800-volt hybrid system utilizing Formula 1 battery technology. Built on a Mason Motorsports Gen 2 chassis, the truck is scheduled to debut at the Baja 500 on June 2, 2027.

Developed in partnership with chassis builder Mason Motorsports and champion racer Bryce Menzies, the truck features an innovative all-wheel-drive system and custom transmission to optimize clearance. Honda aims to contest the Trophy Truck category ahead of the 60th anniversary Baja 1000 in November 2027.
