Sorry if this is a repeat...

I found it pretty interesting. Wonder if honda will warranty all the mods and if it might make it to the states??

Quote from AutoExpress.....

Hot Honda S2000
A fiery version of Honda's S2000 could become available here if an enthusiast-driven band of Honda UK managers get its way. Let's hope so. It looks stunning, and with extra power over the stock S2000, it will be very competitive on the road. See this stunner at...

I know it's Mugen. Thank you very much!

I guess whats interesting to me is that Honda might sell these through their dealers thus opening up an aftermarket of Mugen upgrades that would be installed and warrantied by your local dealer!

I highly doubt that happening in the US, but stranger things have happened.

Under the skin, a sports air intake and exhaust system help to raise the 2.0-litre, four-cylinder VTEC engine's
output by 10bhp to 250bhp.
Interesting that they only get 10 HP out of the exhaust and intake. What is that about 400$ a HP?

I don't get it! Wouldn't a stock S with an SC go harder than that bowl of rice?
