In this thrilling episode of Hoonigan, the team embarks on an adrenaline-fueled journey to Hakone, Japan, home to some of the most exhilarating driving roads in the world. Led by the knowledgeable Elbo, they delve into the art of Toge driving, dissecting the essence of mountain passes with precision and passion. The spotlight shines on the iconic AP1 Honda S2000, a true masterpiece of Japanese engineering, meticulously modified for peak performance on the twisting mountain routes.

As they dissect the S2000's enhancements, from the rev-hungry F20C engine to the aerodynamic J's Racing GT wing, the team's enthusiasm is palpable. The discussion on the importance of gearing and RPM capabilities in mountain driving versus American horsepower obsession adds a fascinating layer to their exploration.
