Not sure on how reputable this source is...but DAMN!!! I will sell both my cars and get a 2nd job.

 

Fake.

 

what the hell? If that's real then DAYMN that's an awesome car!

 

i cant imagine the s2k, taking over as hondas #1 flagship over the nsx.

but whatever, if it happens, im first in line.

 

360hp?? Holy sheet. I wonder if it's true....

 

No, no...I'm first in line.

Honestly though, I'm doubtful. $54k for one and it would be just as fast (or faster than) an NSX.

 

"the suspension links are all aluminum alloy, as in the NSX, and the halfshafts at the rear are hollow carbon fiber units."

Dream on.

 

People really have too much time on their hands to make up something like this with full effort

 

Here's a link to see what the guys at S2Ki.com are saying about this:

lol that must be fake for sure
S2000 could never take the n1 place of nsx

 

I'm going to have to call BS on this one. If there ever was going to be such a model for the S2k, we would have already known about it and the knowledge of its existance would have been made mainstream.

It is an interesting concept though, but what it boils down to is someone with a bit too much wishful thinking.

heres another thread talking about it in members corner. it was locked, but was able to bastardize the thread before the lock

 

WTF...why was the other one locked.

 

great, heres a cookie....

 

2400lb S2000 eh? Didn't think so.

 

ITS FAKE.

Get over it!

 

Well the NSX-R didn't get any power upgrades did it?

 

 

We can dream...right?

 

OMG!

 

The NSX R did get titanium pistons.

I wouldn't doubt this car. The term "fake" often accounts for things or events in the present. I emphasize the word often.

This says 2003.

 

- too good to be true.

360 bhp @ 8300 rpm
230 lb-ft @ 6000 rpm

aluminum alloy block & heads, inline-6 ?

The R gets two extra cylinders on the front of the engine. That alone changes the entire nature of the car. Peak horsepower is way up, to 360 HP. The introduction of VTEC cams on the intake side has also improved low-end torque, so 230 foot-pounds of peak torque are now available at a slightly more tractable 6000 RPM.


- well.. if its true things I guess price will be HUGE

 

F A K E

 

Unfortunately its a well designed hoax although everything described in the article is technically feasible (with the possible exception of Honda building a straight six) there is no way in hell it would cost 'only' 56,000. Come on now, Titanium trasnmission gears and a full composite body structure? thats pure F1 stuff. I know , I know, Honda cut its teeth on F1 and developed all their best goodies there but the article really stretches credulity.

If such a thing existed however I would probably sell my soul, everything I own, and several less essential organs to get it

That's some nice "cold chunking" if I've ever seen it!
