The Honda S2000 ended production in 2009, but it lives on vehemently in the hearts of enthusiasts. During its nine-year run there was never a Type R version, and while some might argue the balanced sports car didn't need such an upgrade, the folks at Evasive Motorsports are taking a stab at it with the S2000R.
When building a vehicle with Type R influence, starting with a Type R engine is never a bad idea. Here's where S2000 purists might want to look away, because the naturally aspirated, high-revving F20 four-cylinder mill is replaced with the turbocharged K20 from the previous-generation Civic Type R. The swap includes a special intake manifold by Evasive, an upgraded downpipe, a Mugen carbon fiber intake, and a MoTec M140 engine management system makes it all work together.
