Top Gear | American Tuned. S2000 Build with FK8 K20C1 Type R Power: Evasive Motorsports Honda S2000 R AP2.

Honda never gave enthusiasts the ’R’ version of the S2000 roadster they’d always wanted, so Evasive Motorsports imagined and built an S2000 R of their own. It’s a little bit more than just a fettled S2000 too, because under the bonnet is a 302 bhp version of the FK8 Civic Type R’s turbo four-pot. Considering the original S2000 made do with 237 bhp, that’s quite the increase. There’s also a carbon fibre Mugen air intake, Evasive’s own intake manifold and a titanium exhaust system from Origin Fab. A MoTeC ECU brings everything together and you get a limited slip diff and Koyo Racing radiator. Is this the car Honda should have built?
