本田S2000是集安全、环保于一身的新一代跑车，发动机置于前轴后方，因而获得了最佳的50∶50前后质量分配比，加之其驾驶座位置尽量靠近后轴，使驾驶者处于接收车轮运动和其他信号反馈的最佳位置，从而实现了最佳的操纵性和反应性。它结合了纯正运动车布局：后轮驱动，前置发动机，两座敞篷跑车；先进的赛车应用技术： X型骨车架以及2.0升177kW的VTEC发动机，再加上6速手动变速器。
新本田S2000改款后性能有显著的提升，最高时速241km/h，0～100km/h加速只需要6.2秒。

Honda celebrated its 50th birthday with a present to itself, the manic S2000 roadster. With one of the most remarkable engines ever built, this was the Japanese giants way of flexing its corporate muscle, showing just how clever it could be. 240bhp from a normally aspirated 2.0-litre engine? That was a higher specific output than a twin turbocharged Lotus Esprit V8 GT and indicated how far Honda had raised the technical bar.

The rest of the car benefited from their vast expertise in motorsport, and promised nirvana for the enthusiast driver. As used examples filter onto the UK market, is the S2000 an affordable dream or a potential nightmare? Find out here. Here is a car that, on paper at least, offered performance to match the range-topping NSX model at less than half its price. Throw in sharky good looks and an engine that brought the soundtrack of a Formula One pit lane to a trunk road near you, and youve got a recipe for success.
