It’s been 15 years since Honda S2000 production ended, and while the company ponders a potential successor, it’s still an important sports car. Bulletproof Automotive, a Los Angeles-based company that offers tuning products, race car builds, and more, has taken an S2000 and tuned it to the max.
Under the hood is a new 2.0-liter four-cylinder crate engine, equipped with a Vortech V2-Si supercharger, which produces over 580 horsepower at 9,300 rpm, reaching a maximum of 10,000 rpm. It features an Amuse titanium exhaust system, including the manifold, a high-performance fuel system with Injector Dynamics fuel injectors, and a Science of Speed racing heat exchanger.
The engine pairs with Honda’s AP2 six-speed manual transmission, which comes with a short shifter and an ACT flywheel. It pumps power to the rear wheels through a limited-slip differential from ASM and Drexler. Suspension upgrades include a Top Secret Super Dampers Coilover kit, and an assortment of parts from J’s Racing, Spoon, and EVS.
The modded S2000 wears the Varis Dark Panther widebody kit, which features carbon-fiber aerodynamics, a vented hood, wing, and a lightweight trunk. Bulletproof Automotive painted the Honda in the same Lamborghini Balloon White paint as the company’s first car, the Concept One.
The wheels, 19-inch BP-RW Evolutions, feature a design inspired by Tsuchime, a hammered metal technique often found in Japanese kitchenware and knives. Bulletproof wraps them in 295/30ZR19 Toyo Tires Proxes R888R tires. They hide the six-piston front and four-piston rear Brembo Pista brakes.
Inside, Bulletproof Automotive installed RS-G Limited Edition Super Start seats, a Mugen roll bar, a Mugen steering wheel, and Willians FIA racing harnesses. The company uses black Alcantara for the dashboard, door cards, and headliner.
Bulletproof calls the S2000 the BP25, marking the company’s 25th anniversary. The car made its debut at this year’s SEMA Show in Las Vegas, and it’s on display until November 7.
