New Honda S2000
It’s easy to overlook the finer details. But take a closer look at the Honda S2000. Let your eyes absorb every inch of the car from front to back. The Honda S2000 still has the soul, the sheer magic, that is the essence of a true sports car.
Hardtop or soft-top? Picture a summer’s day, a warm breeze, a coastal road. One efficient flick of a switch, and the soft-top is down giving you an exhilarating drive. A glass plate positioned between the headrests means that, even with the roof down, you remain comfortable. Not essential, but what a difference.
Or what about the practicality of a Honda S2000 GT hardtop? Ideal for smooth city driving in all conditions. It’s a different style of motoring that offers a more sheltered feel with the addition of greater security and excellent rear visibility. The hardtop can be removed when not required to reveal the soft-top underneath. Simple design, yet so effective.
The Honda S2000’s interior is rich in thoughtful design. It’s a purely driver focused environment. The first thing you’ll notice is that the instruments don’t stretch halfway across the dashboard. It’s a completely unique space with every control at your fingertips.
The Honda S2000 is styled inside to maximise your control. And at the same time to relax you. You feel it the moment you first sit in the newly designed body hugging leather seats. Placed deliberately low, they draw you deep inside, connecting you closely to the lightweight chassis. You become sensitive to the alloy engine and experience new levels of performance. This is a serious union of driver and sports car.
What happens when you look at things differently? You gain a whole new outlook. That’s what our engineers did. To the Honda S2000 they brought all their race experience and not one pre-conception. They questioned how the chassis and suspension could impact performance. Desiring a race car feel in a two-seater roadster meant a move away from the conventional design route. They created a unique suspension system, maximising tyre tread on the road.
The result? A convertible that handles with an assuredness you’d usually only expect from a coupé. And all it took was a different perspective. But then that’s what you’d expect from Tochigi, our research and development centre. And the home of six F1 World Constructors Championships.
