Love the Prince R380, is it a genuine car or replica?

[NVZEE]

Very real and very rare:

"The only known surviving Prince R380, the very car that won the 1966 Japanese Grand Prix at Fuji Speedway, will make its North American debut Sunday at the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance as part of a special Japanese Prototype class"

Ah ok, I didn't know it was in North America, just saw videos of it on a track in Japan at another event. Great car.

Since the Prince already got attention in this corner of the website, here's another bit of media coverage:
