"Here's a Honda S2000 that should have been built before Honda killed its open-top sportscar: Instead of a maniacally revving 2.2-liter, this S2000CR, recently modified by Honda Performance Development (HPD), has the 3.7-liter V6 from the Acura TL SH-AWD.
We expect the S2000 chassis is plenty robust enough to handle the bigger engine, since it's already proven able to cope with a V10. A cut-and-shut Honda S2000 chassis was used as a mule during development of the second-generation Acura NSX.
We'll keep you updated on this project."
Exciting seeing as it all fits behind the front axle. Too bad this came about 4-5 years too late imo. I hear the new 3.7 V6's are lighter than the previous generation V6's from Honda. Honda actually designed this set up so it should work.
