The Acura ARX-05 is a sports prototype racing car built to Daytona Prototype International regulations. It was developed in partnership by Honda Performance Development and Oreca, and is based on the Oreca 07 chassis and powered by the Acura AR35TT twin-turbocharged 3.5L V6 engine.[1][2]

The car made its racing debut at the 2018 24 Hours of Daytona. In 2019, the car won the drivers', teams' and manufacturers' titles in the top class of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, becoming the first non-General Motors car to do so.
