Outstanding California-based tuner and function portions store, Evasive Motorsports, has unveiled their newest undertaking, the Honda S2000R. And the most productive section is that this contemporary tackle top-notch restomodding will probably be produced and made to be had for public intake. So, finally, the era raised on Want For Velocity, Speedy & Livid, and Gran Turismo have a carbon-clad reimagination to name their very own, a Millenial/Gen-Z’s Singer or Gunther Werks, should you would.

In step with Evasive Motorsports, the S2000R is basically a contemporary interpretation of what an S2000 Kind R can be. It’s undoubtedly an bold and remarkable undertaking, to mention the least, particularly for the reason that there was once by no means an professional S2000 Kind R, no longer in Japan or any marketplace. The nearest any marketplace ever were given was once the S2000CR (Membership Racer) from 2008.

“Given our twenty years of revel in running with and tuning the S2000, we sought to modernize the platform and create an R model ourselves,” states Evasive at the S2000R’s devoted web page. “The idea that was once learned from specializing in those issues: a contemporary engine, up to date look, weight financial savings, and awesome dealing with.”

Motivating the S2000R is the last-gen FK8 Civic Kind R’s K20C 2.0-liter turbo-four, changed to be longitudinally fastened for a rear-drive platform and enhanced with a Mugen consumption, titanium Beginning Fab exhaust, and a brand new consumption manifold. As well as, a bigger radiator and a brand new oil cooler were fitted, and the transmission is similar S2000 gearbox mated to the Civic engine by the use of a changed bell housing. Energy scores haven’t but been disclosed, nevertheless it’s truthful to suppose it’ll be a wholesome step up from the Civic Kind R’s 306 horsepower and a a ways cry from the AP2 S2000’s 240. Such energy will probably be routed to an OS Giken limited-slip diff. 

Suspension takes the type of KW Clubsports, and the chassis has been refreshed with new bushings, a bump steer package, an additional chassis brace, and Eibach sway bars. Brakes are six-piston Brembos up entrance and four-pistons out again clamping on two-piece slotted rotors.

Wheels are better and wider EVS Tuning 52Rs, crafted as reimaginings of the inventory S2000 wheels and wrapped in Yokohama ADVAN Neovas AD09s measuring 255/35/18. And Hondaphiles will respect using the twentieth Anniversary S2K‘s entrance bumper for the S2000R.

Inside of lies quite a few monitor rat novelties to remind you that is no odd S2K. Door playing cards are carbon, as are the ultra-thin, fixed-back Recaro buckets that glance directly out of a McLaren Senna. The seat paddings are purple, as is the material at the shift knob, and the Motec virtual sprint options an incredible cool animated film of the fashionable Civic’s gauge format. 

Alright, so the use of quite a few recognized aftermarket providers, each at the floor and beneath the hood, won’t totally qualify it as a Jap-American Singer, nevertheless it’s lovely darn shut. What we’re left with will for sure be a bulletproof-reliable rocketship that thrusts a contemporary vintage into the 2020s. And being the lovechild of an organization that is aware of its method round raucous tuners and race-worthy aftermarket portions, there’s for sure that the S2000R will power as epic because it appears status nonetheless. 

Now, about any type of worth. What sort of deal are you able to minimize me, Evasive?
