Check Out Our Evasive Motorsports Honda S2000 “R” Featured On Top Gear!

We had the pleasure of having our Evasive Motorsports Honda S2000 “R” in Top Gear with Rob Dahm for another episode of American Tuned. In their latest Youtube video, Rob stops by our shop to examine our two S2000 builds: one for the street – the S2000R chassis #000 – and the S2000RS, a time-attack version that Dai Yoshihara would later drive at the 2023 running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in the Unlimited Class. Dahm then takes the S2000R on a slightly lower-altitude run on some scenic roads above Los Angeles. Honda never gave enthusiasts the “R” version of the S2000 roadster they’d always wanted, so we imagined and built an S2000 R of our own. Under the hood is a 302BHP version of the Civic Type R FK8’s 2.0L Turbo Four Cylinder engine, with a carbon fiber Mugen air intake and our very own intake manifold. Considering the original S2000 made 237BHP, that’s quite the increase. Maybe it’s not really an S2000 Type R, at least in the period-correct sense, but is this the car Honda should have built?
