Experience a rare glimpse of the Honda S2000 prototype undergoing rigorous testing on Germany's legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife. This bonus footage captures an expert driver pushing the S2000 through the challenging 20.832 km 'old course', achieving an impressive Bridge to Gantry (BTG) lap time of 8 minutes and 17 seconds.
The driver provides insightful commentary on the car's performance, highlighting its exceptional acceleration, precise handling through corners, and robust body rigidity. Despite being a prototype and driven with the top down (which could affect aerodynamics), the S2000 demonstrates remarkable speed and balance, even keeping pace with modified Porsches and outperforming the standard NSX in tight corners. The driver notes the car's impressive braking and overall high-level performance, suggesting it could even rival the NSX Type S.
This video offers a unique perspective from inside the cockpit, showcasing the S2000's capabilities on one of the world's most demanding race tracks.
