Introduction
The Honda S2000 produces more power per litre than any
other non-
turbo production engine and sends the rev counter
needle sweeping around to the 9,000 mark. Honda built
this remarkable two-litre car to celebrate its 50 year
anniversary.
It can reach 100 km/h in just 6.2 seconds. But the adrenaline-pumping
performance of the amazing Honda S2000 roadster is also
kind to the environment.
Thanks to Honda's latest advances
in engine technology, the Honda S2000 meets the world's
toughest emissions legislation. Packed with racing technology, it is Honda's first classic
front-engined, rear-driven model since the much-loved
S800 appeared in 1965.
Almost everything about the Honda
S2000 is special. Based on an X-shaped body-chassis, it
gets super agility from a new breed of
double wishbone
suspension.
Perfect weight distribution gives the precision
handling that makes this roadster a driver's dream. A six-speed
close-ratio gearbox made-up of lightweight components
maximises the true sportscar experience.
Press the big
red start button on the dashboard to fire up the engine
and you'll soon know why this is one of the most eagerly
awaited sports cars of the last few years.
Small wonder the Honda S2000 is already regarded as an
"instant classic".
