Honda Racing unveils hybrid trophy truck Passport with over 1300 hp
The premiere will take place at SEMA 2026, with two-time Baja 1000 winner Bryce Menzies driving in the Trophy Truck class.
The Honda Passport Baja Spec Trophy Truck was developed in collaboration with Mason Motorsports, with Menzies Motorsports as the project partner. In the Score World Desert Championship, the vehicle is set to become the first hybrid in the top Trophy Truck category. Honda aims to compete for the overall victory in the Baja 1000.
The powertrain features a 2.4-liter V6 with twin turbochargers and an 800-volt hybrid system. The engine is closely related to the powerplant of the Acura ARX-06 GTP race car, which has secured victories at the Daytona and Sebring races.
The hybrid system utilizes a battery with cells styled after the previous generation of Formula 1 and a carbon fiber casing. The design also includes electronic brake management, adaptive traction control, and software-based power distribution with in-race adjustment capabilities. The first planned race debut is the Baja 500 in 2027.
