Honda S2000 Amuse GT1

Description:

Developed jointly by Gran Turismo and Amuse, the Amuse S2000 GT1 first appeared at the Tokyo Auto Salon in 2005. The main attention-grabber was the car’s unique ne bodywork. Styled by Gran Turismo, the car was designed as a formula-style racer in a sports car body. The body was widened by 1 inches on each side, and other than the doors, all of the GT1’s clothing was new and composed of carbon-fiber.

The large new flared front fenders not only looked good, but were functional as well. Capitalizing on the hollow fenders of the stock S2000, giant air ducts were added behind the tires to channel and evacuate air passing through the nose, and then jettisoning it out the sides of the car to create a massive amount of front-end downforce. The larger space inside also accommodated some new super-wide tires, 265/35R-18s. Tipping the scales at a mere 1180 kg, it was 150 kg lighter than stock.

Beneath the GT1’s hood resided a 2.0-liter DOHC inline-4 with VTECH and a single turbocharger that accounted for 394 BHP, giving the car a remarkable power-to-weight ratio of 2.79 kg/HP, placing it firmly in supercar territory. The exhaust manifold was made from thing-gauge stainless steel, while the exhaust pipe was titanium.

The Amuse S2000 is an amazingly excellent car. Its small turbo 4-cylinder engine amazingly develops about 500 horsepower, thus rivaling the JGTC cars in both price and performance.
