A few S2000s are well known when it comes to Time Attack in Japan, but there was one that struck the world with amazement, leaving some of us speechless with its extraordinary power and overall outstanding build; Autobacs ASM's S2000.
Our new family member, Kaoru san from Japan, gave us these exclusive photos taken during a time attack session at Tsukuba.

Execution wise, Autobacs ASM built this car with an aerodynamically purposed body kit. Still today, ASM's S2000 is the fastest of all N/A S2000s.

Individual Throttle Bodies operating the engine more efficiently by improving throttle response, thus achieving greater horsepower. It's not a surprise knowing ASM's S2000 pulling more than 300 horsepower, completing the Tsukuba Circuit less than a minute, and winning the Front Engine Rear Wheel Drive class 5 years in a row.
