Honda S2000 is Given a Second Lease on Life... Sort of

The Honda S2000 was introduced 20 years ago and gained legions of fans and collectors. While not the fastest or most powerful sports car around, this Japanese roadster still delivered 240 horsepower from a 2.0-litre engine that revved all the way to 8,300 rpm.

Combined with its pocket size and feather weight, performance was quite exhilarating.

Two decades later, Honda is celebrating the S2000 with the release of a new show car for the 2020 Tokyo Auto Salon in January. It’s not intended for production. However, the company is introducing some new parts and components for tuners.

The list includes a revised front bumper, updated suspension and improved audio system.

We don’t know for sure if they’re sold individually or as part of a dealer-installed package, but they likely won’t be available in Canada. Too bad.
