Southern California performance parts and tuning company Evasive Motorsports, best known for its Toyota Supra widebody kit, is building a restomod take on the legendary Honda S2000. As is the norm with restomods, Evasive removes the standard engine and replaces it with something more powerful. In this case, the team removes the high-revving naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine and replaces it with the 306 horsepower FK8 Honda Civic Type R K20C1 two-liter turbo engine.
The result is the Evasive S2000R, which is a road and track model. In addition to fitting it with the same engine as the all-new CTR and Acura Integra Type S, it’s also equipped with Brembo brakes, updated exterior aero styling, suspension/chassis reinforcements, and various carbon fiber body and titanium engine components to reduce weight.
“The S2000 is one of the best driver’s cars ever produced,” said Mike Chang, Co-President of Evasive Motorsports. “With 20 years of experience tuning the platform for road and race, we had a vision to modernize the roadster and create our ideal version of what an S2000 Type R could be.”
