Used prices for the Honda S2000 have slowly been climbing, with people increasingly looking for unmodified, unmolested examples, hinting at the fact that this screaming sports car has already become a modern classic. However, fans of the model should not be upset at the sight of this EV-swapped example, because it was done really well and the resulting vehicle is not monstrously quick, but quite a tasteful conversion.
The vehicle featured in this video by Hoonigan was created by Rywire Motorsport Electrinics and they really did quite a lot to make this conversion work, even visually. The car has a custom front bumper that seems inspired by the design you may have seen on VW ID EVs, the wheels are also custom-designed and -fabricated with aero in mind.
It also comes with special adjustable suspension from Swedish specialists Öhlins that really helps keep the extra weight under control, especially since the vehicle has roughly twice the power it originally had. One Tesla drive unit is used in this build, dialled to 500 horsepower and drawing from two Chevrolet Volt battery packs.
