The Honda S2000 Looks Awesome With A GR 86 Bumper, Who Would Have Thought?

Many would agree that the Honda S2000 is a Japanese sports car great and that vehicles like it should be kept stock. However, there is a very large contingent of S2000 owners and enthusiasts who love to tune and modify it. The owner of this S2K is one of them and to give it a unique fascia, they looked to Toyota, rather than the aftermarket.

Photos of this S2000 were recently shared to the Front And Rear End Swaps page on Facebook and show one that’s received a host of modifications. The most striking of these is the fitment of the front bumper from a Toyota GR 86. Yep, this 20-year-old Honda has a front bumper from a new Toyota and much to our surprise, it looks brilliant.

Limited details about this S2000 are known but it appears to reside somewhere in Japan. It is currently bathed in a shade of blue but was originally silver before the owner went to town to transform the bodywork. In addition to it rocking the bumper of a GR 86, it also has flared wheel arches, a custom carbon fiber hood, a fixed hardtop, and a massive rear wing.

The Honda S2000 Looks Awesome With A GR 86 Bumper, Who Would Have Thought?

It’s unclear how difficult it would have been grafting the GR 86’s bumper onto to the Honda. However, we can see that some changes have been made to it given that the front of the S2000 is narrower than the GR 86. Indeed, the parts of the GR 86’s bumper that extend above the front grille and air intakes have been ditched and modified to accommodate the headlights of the Honda. Curiously, the owner has retained the original GR badge on the grille.

What do you think of this S2000? Is it genius or downright disastrous?

Hat tip to Chris Adamo!

Gearhead Nirvana: We Visit Porsche’s Atlanta Workshop Where Classics Get Reborn

Image
Maintaining any car is a duty that different owners approach in vastly different ways. For some, a few zip ties and a rattle can of spray paint is good enough. Far on the other end of the spectrum are owners like the ones who take their car to the Porsche Classic Center in Atlanta. During our trip there to see the new Macan EV in virtual reality , we had the opportunity to tour the Classic Center as it was deep in the midst of multiple repair and restoration projects.  To the owners of these cars and to the Porsche brand itself, what these mechanics, technicians, upholsterers, and painters are preserving is heritage. The center’s mantra “As good as new. But with even more character” is on display for anyone who visits the site.

As Good As New Porsche 918 Spyder With Just 43 Miles Could Fetch $2 Million

Image
This Porsche 918 has been kept in a climate-controlled storage facility ever since it was delivered. The car is one of just four Hong Kong-spec 918s in existence. Driving the hypercar is a 4.6-liter V8 hybrid powertrain with 887 hp. A 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder that has never been registered will be available at a Hong Kong auction running from April 2-5 and is expected to sell for between $1.5 million and $2 million. The 918 Spyder launched as one of the ‘hypercar holy trinity’ alongside the Ferrari LaFerrari and McLaren P1. While there are many low-mileage examples out there, few are thought to have been driven less than this one. Over the past decade, it has been driven less than 70 km (43 miles) and has been owned by a single person in Hong Kong. It has also never been registered for road use. The listing doesn’t specify how the car has racked up 70 km without being registered. Read: This Porsche 918 Is One Of Just 2 With A Gulf Oil Livery Nevertheless, this car i

VW ID.GAIA Could Be The Perfect Electric Truck, If Only It Existed

Image
A few months ago , we shared a gallery of stunning VW concepts from Sean Keunyoung Oh, a senior design student at the Korea National University of Arts in South Korea. Sean has now come across our radar once again after publishing images of his latest creation, an all-electric pickup truck from VW that could serve as a rival to vehicles like the Ford F-150 Raptor. The concept study is named the ID.GAIA and has been conceived to roll on a skateboard platform and were it ever produced, could borrow its battery pack and electric motors from other EVs produced by VW. From a visual standpoint, Sean’s pickup is quite imposing and has a much more striking and rugged design than the current Amarok. More: Production VW ID.
