Its got a cosworth engine. The racing series is called the Series 2000, which they just call the s2000. Doesnt have anything to do with the honda s2000.

^ah. I was wondering why they would lower the RPM on a s2k engine so I was seriously questioning if it WAS a "S2000" engine...

Honda isn't the first to use the S2000 term for a car and I'm sure they won't be the last.

Here's a Lola S2000. It probably dates from the early to mid 1980s.

Haha, my bad, the HP seemed strange, but the low torque and redline seemed like a modified s2k's engine.


280 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of twisting torque all the while spinning to an 8,000 rpm redline

torque doesn't sound right for a 2 litre N/A...what kind of compression do these engines run?

nope... they use the term "S2000 engine" meaning, the engine is legal in the Super 2000 (S2000) series, where 2 liter engines are legal...

Also, Duratec is a Ford engine... and I'm pretty sure Ford didn't make the F20C
