An amazing Honda S2000 Time Attack car
will be sold by BH Auction in a sales event scheduled for this summer. The
racer, known as the Top Fuel Honda S2000 Type-RR, has competed in time attack
events across the world for more than a decade. Much of its racing life has
been spent in Japan but it also traveled to Australia for the World Time Attack
Challenge in 2012 and 2013. It holds class lap records at Suzuka, Okayama
Circuit, and Autopolis in Ōita Prefecture, Japan.
For a number of years, the car has been
running a massive GCG Garrett GTX3582R turbocharger that’s said to help the
modified 2.3-liter F20C four-cylinder engine pump out almost 1,000 hp. The car
started out life as an ordinary S2000 from the 2000 model year but is now about
as far from street legal as you can get.
Mated to the boosted four-cylinder engine
is a Holinger RD6S sequential transmission driving the rear wheels and
featuring a carbon twin-disc clutch. The car also rocks Endless brakes, Endless
adjustable dampers, and Eibach springs.
Arguably the most striking aspect of the
vehicle’s exterior is the wild aerodynamic kit designed to generate as much
downforce as possible. It includes a pronounced front splitter, pizza
tray-sized carbon fiber canards, flared arches, bespoke side skirts, and a
towering rear wing and diffuser package to stick the driven wheels to the
pavement.
It’ll be interesting to see how much the
car sells for. No estimate has been released just yet.
