Every now and then an automaker just gets it right, and in Honda’s case, they’ve done it a few times. In most cases, these cars wear a Type R badge, but if you know your stuff, one of the most praised and sought-after Hondas was never released in Type R-spec, but the car was just that damn good that no one really even realised it was missing. Well, California-based Evasive Motorsports did, and the well-known JDM tuner set about correcting that. Using their 21 years of experience, they procured a Honda S2000 and after some very careful planning, set about doing what Honda should have done in the first place by creating their own interpretation of what an S2000 in Type R-spec should have been, and the results are so good that we won’t be surprised if this project alone is responsible for a worldwide rise in prices in S2000s. Evasive Motorsports identified all the spots in the OEM S2000 that could do with a bit of an upgrade or tweaking, and with the car being so old now and new parts and technology being made for aftermarket tuning, many components were put under the spotlight. By looking at the end result, you’d be hard-pressed to identify the changes carried out over the obvious visual ones. It looks like the company got the recipe just right, and with what we’re seeing online about the Honda S2000 Type R, or S2R for short, Honda fanatics agree.

Take a look at the YouTube video that explains all the changes made to the original Honda S2000 to create a modern interpretation of the iconic Japanese roadster worthy of wearing the famed Type R badge, even though it uses a computer-generated voice, it's still pretty rad: Honda Never Made an S2000 Type R, But Now You Can Buy One | car info
