This Wicked Time Attack S2000 Is a Blue Chip Find
One of the cooler auction finds in recent history.
Functional Beauty
A company called Top Fuel modified this particular S2000 specifically for Time Attack racing, which is obvious by the car's wild bodywork. All of those wings and canards were designed with purpose, however, and developed in an actual wind tunnel, so they're every bit as functional as they are cool to look at.

All Business
Peek inside the cabin, and you'll find that this interior is nothing but business as well, with highlights including a full roll cage, a set of Bride GT full bucket seats, a carbon fiber dashboard, and an NOS tank for when the driver needs a bit of an extra boost out on the track.

Stunning Numbers
Pop the hood, and you'll find a familiar site - Honda's legendary inline four-cylinder powerplant - but in heavily modified form, with goodies including a GCG/GTX3582R turbo that helps it make over 1,000 horsepower - a truly stunning figure. That powerplant is mated to a Holinger 6-speed sequential transmission fitted with an ATS double-plate carbon clutch for strength.

Record Setter
Many motorsports fans will likely recognize this particular S2000, as it was built with no restrictions and went on to set several track records in Japan. That includes a best lap time of 51.762 seconds at the Tsukuba circuit, which was a record for a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive car at the time.
