Interesting that the article says it's no wider than an S2000. That car looks several inches wider in those pics than an ordinary S.

Isn't it interesting, though, that Honda brought it to the 'Ring for all the world to see? Obviously they intended for spy shots to get taken - nobody goes to the Ring for secrecy. I like this sort of Honda better, rather than trying to keep everything ultra-secret all the time.

The decision to do it is a complex one.

The spy shots give more dis-information than information, and I think that's the way Honda is playing it.

UPDATE: According to several of our resourceful readers who ran DVLA enquiries on the two plate numbers worn by the test mules, there are two engines being tested. One of them (plate number OU07 EFX) is fitted with a 5.0L petrol motor while the other (plate number OU07 EFW) uses a 2.2L diesel motor. The online search facility is located at http://www.vehiclelicence.gov.uk/ (select "Vehicle Enquiry" on the left hand menu list).

What's even more interesting is that it seems like the SAME car is wearing both plates at the SAME TIME.
So does it have a V10 up front and a 2.2 diesel in back?
