Tesla Converted 500hp Honda S2000 -- All-Electric!

  • Typically when a 500 horsepower Honda S2000 comes around it has a built motor with a huge turbo strapped to it all while making all the wildest sounds imaginable. But our friends at @rywire Motorsports Electronics had something different in mind. They took a Tesla motor and fully integrated it into their Honda S2000 in the cleanest way possible. This might be the easiest or the hardest 500 horsepower swap ever done, ha! The future is coming in hot… whether you like it or not.

I'll always want a big, rumbling V8 or sick, inline with a turbo, but you can still geek out with an EV and customize it on the same level. Really dig the craftsmanship and quality of the build.

      The quality of workmanship is top notch as well and the fact you pushed yourself out your confort zone and develop this from nowhere is great to see and keeping an open mind to develop the knowledge, your skill set will be in high demand. It's also kinda funny as i raced RC cars back in the late 90's / early 00's and the knowledge i gained from there helps here, just it's all supersized.

I know it still is, but as we see with this S2000, and the Humvee, it's doable and it's awesome. The craftsmanship is top notch. Ryan has such a nice vibe.

      @@4literv6 Ok hold up, lemme say something here..
      I’m not feeling sick about the thought of electrical parts and currents playing into the performance of my Infiniti G37x..it just plays the part in how my car performs, and that’s cool. So yes, all cars have electricity built into them, infused into the fuel and whatnot, that’s just our modern technological innovations in the past years. Nice, idk why you make it sound like we are oblivious to the fact our cars live with electricity already, it’s just not the main point of the ENTIRE focus in an ICE car.
      Moving on, I think most of the haters here, are either…hating because it’s electric, (easy to see why, they swapped out one of the most legendary, and best performing and sounding Honda engines in recent past with a battery), or just dislike something this sacrilegious being done to a legend from Honda’s performance history. They have a right to feel a bit offended by this, don’t hate them for it, people are obliged to feel a certain way about certain things. It’s when the conversation gets toxic and personal is when things really get dumb. But tbh I don’t think most of the people disliking this car are “haters” per se, I just think they are passionate about the legendary heart that contributed to this car being so historical.
      And one last thing. I don’t care. People really shouldn’t care how quick a car is on a 1/4, 1/2 mile, or on the street. It’s infantile in my opinion. But I do prefer track-racing, cornering, aerodynamics, etc, so my opinion is kinda swayed. I just feel it’s un-right to point and laugh about one tiny unrealistic (and mostly un-useable) feat electric cars beat ICE cars in. Yes, they are quick, but can they do anything else besides? That’s the stuff I care about.
      Sorry I was in the mood for a long comment spiel. 😅
      (Edit) : BTW, I’m neutral towards EVs, don’t hate them, don’t love them. They’re alright, I still prefer the sound of a roaring VQ in my life, and that’s alright too. I do stand with the OC on the fact we should embrace new ideas in the car culture, so don’t take my rant as a sort of attack based on me understanding and siding with the passionate commenters in this video’s comment section. All cars should be appreciated for what they are in my opinion. 👍🏾

      Yeah, I know EVs are highly competitive on track, Randy Pobst’s Laguna Seca run said that enough. The only real issue EVs had in terms of track perimeters was handling, weight, body transfer, etc; engineer all those niggles out of the equation and the competitiveness tends to show itself. Evolution was inevitable for EVs to surpass ICEs, if there is one thing wrong with a car, someone is going to do something to counteract that fault. It’s how petrol cars got better in every iteration after the Benz Patent-Motorwagen if you think about it.
      Still though, I tend to prefer the more “alive” feeling a petrol car gives, whether road or track. Gear-changes, running up the rev-range, and feeling out the engine’s performance.
      I’m basically repeating what Jason Cammisa summarized in his video with the CT5-V, F90 M5 CS, and the Plaid. Sure, the Plaid killed both the other cars by a landslide; but in my honest opinion, show up to a track in a CT5-V lined up next to a Plaid..who cares if the CT5-V is slower. The CT5-V looks like an absolute hoot, and sounds amazing. Guarantee petrol cars will produce more smiles-per-hour than any EV, whether Super Saloon v Super Saloon, or Hypercar v Hypercar. Don’t take that to heart plz lol.
      But for anyone who doesn’t care about all mushy stuff that and just wants all out dominance and sacrifice the feel of a living automobile, sure an EV fits that bill. Everyone has their preferences.
      I still appreciate EVs, I think they’re unreasonably quick lmao, and I can see why we have them now, but for as long as i’m legally allowed too, i’m going to be driving my lovely G37 for as long as I live, and any other car I obtain along the way. One or a few people can’t cause the destruction of the entire planet. 👋🏾

    This is it. There will be a small sliver of vehicles between the ICE and electric eras that jump the gap and co-exist in both. Perhaps originally ICE and converted. Never-the-less due to the uniqueness of these vehicles and the scarcity of them in the decades to come, many will eventually become some of the most sought after vehicles in the world. There are the usual suspects: Mk IV Supras, RX-7s, Corvettes, AMG Mercedes, Audis and BMWs of various persuasions. The original NSX is another. These vehicles are prized even today, yet tomorrow they would be worth so much more. Crazy to think that the cars we are throwing out today will be collector's items tomorrow.
    I sure missed the boat recently: Torana, Walkinshaw, a slew of HSVs and that's only in the past decade or so. I've seen some of these vehicles go from $3k in the daily paper to over $100k. Be quick! Be on the look out and good hunting.
