i would also love to see some mid engine intake gills like on the cayman.
Mid engine gills wouldn't make sense on a front (classic def.) engined car...

Personally, I think the S2k is a much more elegant and beautiful than the Boxster ever has been. The mid-engined roadster doesn't have lines quite as nice IMO. The mid-engined exotic... that's another story.

Hey, beauty is in the eye of the beholder - I think the Elise looks fugly, bu the S, its a hot car. It doesn't have supercar lines, but its not a supercar.

I still have a hard time not staring at me car when I walk away from it! And I had this car for over 6 years!!! All I've done visually to mine is JDM Headlights, sidemarkers, OEM front lip and rear spoiler, black chrome emblems, and lowered with Tein Flex.

I think the front is the most attractive part especially the fenders. The rear fenders could use a little more shape and the windshield is a little too upright but those are extremely minor details. I love the look of the s2k! Just a little aggressive but subtle.

I'm not gonna lie, I LOVE my car.




BUT!! Yes, there's a but. I do happen to agree that sometimes I feel like the car looks a little small. Don't get me wrong, you can't beat this car for the money and I wouldn't trade it for much, but I wouldn't mind if it were a little more intimidating in appearance. A little wider, a little lower, a little more substantial looking wouldn't be a bad thing. I realize this would create more weight, ie more need for more motor, etc. But we all have thoughts of the grass being greener in another car

Guess that just gives more reason to aspire to something new in years to come. I won't be giving up the S though, she's staying my car for many years including her retirement to the track after I'm done with it on the street!

I love the S2k very much, the only thing I would change is make more interior space, I'm 1.8m tall which is not extremely big and I'm feeling quite locked in the S, it's a good cockpitfeeling when you're racing, but not for daily driving.
And some more boxes to drop wallets and cellphones in when you hop in the car...
otherwise then that, the car looks hot!

If the rear fenders were a little wider or more aggressive and the windshield was slanted more this car would be just about perfect.
