They should have just make it a coupe

[TopGearNL]

If this was a coupe it would have been very nice looking, but a convertible with a wing like that :shock: :x

[Shinigami]

Too little, too late. Even a ton of S2k owners don't like this...

[Erez]

^ I agree on the too late.. but I guess it will be a while untill we'll a new S2000 ..

and it is a shame its not a coupe :(

[Erez]

^Agreed. I think it's time for the next generation model.

BTW, why do all the thumbnails lead me to http://www.livevideo.com rather then the pics? :?

:bad-words: I dont know! mother fuckers! spend a shit load of time uploading 1600X... pics!

I just sent them a mail about it:
Hi,
I uploaded a few pics on your server,
used the Forum script, and when ever someone clicks the thumbs (me included) he gets sent to livevideo.com -

i would still rather get a Spoon or Mugen S2000.

[dutchmasterflex]

Well it's got a removable hard top.. so you've got the best of both worlds.


I definitely see Jay Leno influences in that front spoiler.. pretty fugly..

for some reason I see mini toyota supra in those thumbnails.

[silentm]

that think looks like your normal riced out S2000... how is this supposed to be special???

it looks retarded too...

[Erez]

i would still rather get a Spoon or Mugen S2000.

I bet this one will be way cheaper..

[rave426]

I love S2000's, but this is a waste of time. If they wanted to do something special...give us a Type-R with reduced weight and 270+ hp. <<< That would be news.

Actually, you get the worst of both worlds. You won't get the structural rigidity of a coupe, and you don't get the convinent of the electrical convertible top. Plus, you gotta store that freaking thing somewhere coz it won't fit in the trunk.

[TopGearNL]

^^ I agree, its shite..

[saadie]

production ricemobile :)

[rave426]

NO really. The more I look at it, the more im like......WTF.

What American executive influenced them into producing this thing. This is the first automobile from Honda that I think looks like an aftermarket side show.

What the hell is the spoiler for. To add more downforce to the a car with the same power characteristics as before. It is supposed to be much faster around a circuit than a standard model so maybe its there for high speed handling purposes.

This sucks......Im upset....I want a Type-R

[Erez]

:roll: its just a Prototype.. and hell to me anything that even sounds like a Hardcore version of the S2000 is pretty sweet..

PS- I'm sure it wont have that spoiler on the production model.. maybe as an option.. :bah:

[Svensson]

You forgot to tell that the power is up to around 257 hp (using the American spec 2.2L engine). Not that that'll help a lot, but still... :wink:

[obdr]

there is a VERY simple way Honda could have made the S2000 great.........its called a FACTORY TURBO.

The S2000 is a heavy car. Well, its lighter than some but thats all relative...it isnt light. The engine was great but it was always pulling too much weight.

I always thought a Lotus Elise would be best served by an S2000 engine instead of that Toyota Celica engine....................

anyway........

Well the S2000 chassis was designed to be "just as rigid" as if it had a regular hard top... so... you do get the best of both!

[Pokiou]

what a waste of an s2000... that car was perfectly balanced from factory .. the 2ltr engine was more then enough...


bah..

waste.

honda reveals its true colors: ricing is racing . . . tisk tisk tisk

lol, you part of the marketing team or something huh dutch... :P

[EvolutioniuM]

I want a Type-R

Eeeexactly!!

We don't want a riced up S2000 that looks like crap, we want a lightweight hardcore Type-R version of the already fast S2000 :roll:

And I'd take a regular S2000 over this anyday :wink:

I would love to see the high-revving F20C S2000's engine in a lightweight Type R hothatch :drool:

Making a special edition of the S2000 is useless since its 8 years old

Lazy Honda Should've replaced the NSX and S2000 since ages, specially that the S2000 is seriously underpowered compared to its current rivals

Haha, no but if I was you would definitely see this car being pushed to the Fast n Furious crowd and with a revised ricier(yes that is a new word) wing.
