Arai GP-6?

I've been hearing about the new Arai GP-6 since last year. However, any news regarding the Arai auto line is pretty non-existent in the U.S. The helmet came to my attention again after seeing that Racing Optics is already listing tear-offs for this model. I had to go and find a picture:



The safe assumption for now is that if we get this helmet in the states, we won't see it until the Snell SA2010 helmets start production. In fact, word on the streets is that we probably won't be seeing much of any Arai helmets until that standard gets here! I also wouldn't expect the pricey $4000+ carbon version to get here. As this is one of a few helmets that pass the FIA 8860:2004 standard, only a select group of F1 drivers are sporting this fancy thing.
