Honda S2000 Turbocharged To 520 HP Goes Flat Out On Autobahn

One of the cars enthusiasts would love to see make a return is the Honda S2000. However, a new high-revving naturally aspirated engine is unlikely to happen what with increasingly stricter emissions regulations. It's one of the main reasons a 123-mile, US-spec Club Racer was recently sold at an auction for a whopping $200,000. This isn't a low-mileage example, nor is it NA anymore as it has been turbocharged to extract ludicrous amounts of power.

Indeed, forced induction has taken this 2000 example to an impressive 520 hp, thus more than double what the 2.0-liter engine used to make in the original turbo-less configuration. As expected, torque is also substantially up, at a staggering 510 Nm (376 lb-ft). For the sake of comparison, an untouched S2000 used to make 208 Nm (153 lb-ft) back in the day.
