I came across these cool pictures from a couple of years ago where one of the first test platforms for the now canceled 2009 NSX used some stretched out AP2 s2000 body panels. Again, I know these are old, but yeh, this is what our s2ks might have looked like if they put a v10 in ‘em.
You can read the entire article (including a video) from 2007 on the now defunct 2009 NSX Prototype here:

Concepts, NSX
I know is an s2000 blog, and while the NSX is a quite different car than the s2k, it has a similar following and set of enthusiasts. The NSX, which was in production for 15 years ended its long run in 2005 and since then, Honda has been doing R&D on a possible NSX successor. However, with the worldwide car industry facing difficult times, Honda last week announced that the V-10 NSX that it had been working on to replace the classic NSX will be canceled, and all of the research funds dedicated to the project will be diverted to other Honda projects such as it’s Hybrid cars.
While Honda has faired better than the US automakers during this recession, they’re still being hit pretty hard with fewer people buying new cars in all markets. Honda has announced that it will cut production by 119,000 cars in the first quarter of 2009 over the same period last year.
