Honda S2000

This Honda S2000 sports the ugly-but-effective Mooncraft Hardtop.

We caught sight of this car while out on a photo shoot. Some of it is a Honda S2000, normally a roadster but modified into coupe form. A little Web research told us that this body mod is from Mooncraft, a Japanese design firm long involved in motorsports. Many Web sites refer to the Mooncraft hardtop for the S2000 as "infamous," but it apparently increases the car's acceleration times due to its aerodynamics.

Ugly, ugly, ugly! What a terrible thing to do to such a nice car. I'm glad my '06 S2000 is in my garage where it can't see this montrosity. On the other hand...it IS Halloween as I view this.
