Honda S2000 'Varis Extremor'
Honda S2000 'Varis Extremor' (Super Street)
The Honda S2000 'Varis Extremor' is a heavily tuned, track-focused take on Honda's legendary AP1 roadster, upgraded with Varis aero and the kind of aggressive street-to-circuit character that fits perfectly in the Super Street category. It keeps the S2000's high-revving soul intact while sharpening the chassis into something far more serious than a stock convertible.

In the Simulator Feel
The S2000 Varis Extremor is a balanced, high-revving momentum car that rewards commitment, precision, and patience on throttle. Compared to a stock S2000, the Varis setup gives it a more planted aero package and a sharper front end, but it still feels very much like an old-school Honda: light, communicative, and happiest when you keep the revs high and the chassis settled.
Engine & Sound: The F20C is one of the most iconic four-cylinders ever made, and in sim it delivers that unmistakable metallic scream as it races toward redline. Below the cam change it can feel fairly tame, but once it wakes up above the midrange, the power delivery becomes urgent and eager. Intake noise, valvetrain chatter, and a razor-sharp exhaust note make this car a joy to rev out lap after lap.
Handling Characteristics:
Cornering: Agile and responsive, with excellent mid-corner balance when driven smoothly.
Traction: Rear-wheel drive and limited low-end torque mean wheelspin is manageable, but abrupt throttle can still unsettle the rear.
Braking: Strong and confidence-inspiring with the upgraded hardware, though trail braking should still be done carefully.
Top Speed: Respectable for a lightweight street build, but the real strength is corner speed rather than outright pace.
Driving Style Tip: Keep your inputs smooth and momentum high. The Varis Extremor loves clean lines, measured trail braking, and an aggressive but controlled approach to corner exits. It shines on technical circuits where driver rhythm matters more than raw horsepower.
Livery & Aesthetics: The Varis body kit gives the S2000 a much more muscular presence, with deep aero pieces, an exposed track attitude, and a look that bridges street tuner culture and time attack styling. It keeps the classic long-hood roadster proportions but adds just enough intimidation to make it feel like a serious weapon.
Whether you're carving through tight technical sections or enjoying a fast, flowing hot lap, the Honda S2000 'Varis Extremor' is a rewarding and character-rich sim car — a modern tuner icon with a high-revving Honda heartbeat.
