Not quite an S replacement, but a small roadster with 300 bhp sounds interesting

I remember posting here a coupla years ago (or more) that Honda should put another cylinder on the S2000 givng us a 5 pot S2400 with 300bhp. OK; the purists will argue more weight and loss of purity/balance, and I agree, but just think of the AWESOME five pot 9000rpm HOWL!!!

Alas revs and big cc don't tend to go hand in hand on road cars

IIRC, the original concept for the S2000 (SSM?) was supposed to have a 5-cylinder engine.
