This record-breaking Honda S2000 is a downforce king like no other

Renowned Tokyo based auction house BINGO are no stranger to an incredible classic or two, but this time we have something entirely different from the upcoming BINGO - Collection Car N°12 auction that’s taking place on June 26th.

Believe it or not, underneath the plethora of carbon fibre and wind tunnel-developed canards, this is a Honda S2000. A car famous for its balanced handling, punchy naturally aspirated engine, and timeless styling. This one, however, is another beast entirely, and holds multiple Time Attack records to prove it. 

Created by the tuning company Top Fuel, this grip machine produces over 1,000 bhp, thanks to its enormous turbo and nitrous oxide, while a widened body kit and the stickiest of tyres help it put the power down. During its time competing in various Time Attack events, this example smashed lap records at Fuji Speedway, Suzuka and Tsukuba to name a few, demonstrating just how meticulously this car has been developed. Discover this 2012 Honda S2000, as well as many other incredible Japanese classics in BINGO’s June auction here.
