S2000 Coupe/Racer...

[Trackside]

Spotted this little beauty in the Britcar paddock on Sunday at Brands. I think it looks really smart and is reminiscent of a coupe Le Mans race '60s Lotus Elan. What do you lot reckon?

PS. I am willing to be shot down in flames if it's something far more special than a 'souped-up' S2k...:paperbag:

Front end looks like one of the aftermarket kits you can get for the RX7.

That is lovely, there was a thread about these in here a while back:

That's the Spoon aerokit, the extended hardtop is very expensive and can only be fitted if the car has a rollcage.

I think it looks good for a race car, not sure I'd do that to mine though.

That looks pretty sweet - didn't notice it on the day.

What did you think of the FD racing in Belcar? I thought the side-exit exhaust (with almost constant flames) was pretty cool. Nice to the the RX-8 winning class again too

I don't think it's too bad from the front. Don't like the rear much though.

Much prefering the DC5 in the background of the first shot

Yeah, I'm with you on that one! Love the look of the DC5. Another good reason to go to Britcar races; these examples tearing it up against Civics, BeeEms and RX-8s in Production S1.

That's a spoon'd S2000, not sure what it has under the bonnet.

Was it racing?

[Trackside]

No, it wasn't racing. Would love to see it out on the track though.
