Inside Line wrote: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.

I love it..this is what the S2K should have been from the beginning. AWD Honda ftw!!

There are a couple of guys in the Honda world that are doing the "J" swaps as they call it. Involves putting in the engine from a Acura TL into the EK chassis. However I haven't seen anyone put in the TL-SH engine!! this is something new! ;)
