Question Big Strange S2K at Nurburgring

I've been looking for photos of me going round the ring the other weekend and I stumbled across these photos!

Is it a major cover up for some other type of beast that lies beneath or could it be a newer and certainly bigger S?

Your thoughts please.

Old news - it's reputedly Honda's prototype NSX replacement with a stretched S2000 shell to cover it up.

Someone did a DVLA check on that registration and it shows it has a 5 litre V10 engine in it......

Interesting exhaust arrangement - similar in style to the new Lexus IS-F

There are three interesting looking jap nearly supercars coming up... one of them may be the next logical step that many S2000 owners spend countless threads debating.

Should be interesting.

It's a test mule.

One has a five-litre (V10, we're promised) petrol, the other a 2.2 diesel(!)

I refer to it an an Acura S5000, since if you say "NSX replacement", everyone repeatedly bleats it ain't mid engined & shit.
