Honda S3000 ??

CantZme · 12-09-2009, 11:49 PM

Has anyone heard or know if Honda is coming out with S2000 replacement. Seems like there's not much on the internet about it.

This may indirectly answer your question

Industry News

29 October 2009

Honda chief executive Takanobu Ito today spelled out his vision for the next decade at Honda to CAR Online. No successor to the NSX is under development, but there will be a smaller city car slotting under the Jazz in Honda's range. It will be launched in Asia at first, potentially following in the rest of the world.

Ito, who is also president of Honda R&D, said that the company had no firm plans for a pure battery electric vehicle at this stage – the onus is on hybrid petrol electric cars and fuel-cell models.

It will continue to develop diesels for Europe, but Ito admitted a project to build clean-fuel diesels for the US market had been cancelled. He also expressed regrets over pulling out of F1, but said it made sound business sense to pump the money saved back into developing eco technologies.

What next for Honda's hybrids?

Speaking to CAR at the 2009 Tokyo motor show, CEO Ito said that future Hondas would use one of two hybrid systems. Small cars of Civic size or below would use a single-motor part-electric system, whereas bigger hybrid cars would use two electric motors.

He also confirmed that future Honda road cars would use direct injection tech, and that his company was researching turbocharging. At present, forced induction is only used on turbodiesels, but Honda acknowledges that downsizing allowed by blown, smaller capacity engines will be key to lowering CO2 and emissions.

And what of the top end Hondas?

Ito ruled out any launch of the Acura brand in Europe, to challenge Lexus and the newly launched Infiniti. He also scotched rumours of a planned new-generation NSX, even a hybrid one.

Fuel-cell cars, like the FCX, will continue to be leased rather than sold outright – until Honda can mass develop the tech to be available at a more affordable price.

Yeah, unfortunately all we get is the CR-Z:

Honda CR-Z Brochure Leaks, Reveals Sexy Hybrid Coupe - honda cr-z - Jalopnik

0-60 in 9.7 seconds.

I wish wish wish that Honda had updated the S2K. It was a great car that they just let go, like the NSX. So frustrating. If they had kept updating the NSX, then added the S2K to the stable and continued updating it as well, Acura could have done serious work in Porsche's market. Instead, everyone now hates Acura, and other than the Fit and the JDM Odyssey, Honda is impressing anyone either.

I have to believe Soichiro wouldn't have been happy about the state of affairs...

Civic SI is Honda's sportscar now

S2000 is a classic car but it's been 10 years now

DooDooBrown · 12-10-2009, 10:34 AM

Yeah, last I heard, Honda killed the S2K... I wouldn't hold my breath on seeing another one come out...

kenchan · 12-10-2009, 01:25 PM

yep, if the S3000 had come out, that wouldve been my hobby car instead of the 370z, actually. but after owning the Z, no complaints.

Yea, S2K has ceased to be a production model car, so don't expect a direct successor... ever. There may be a spiritual one down the road I suppose
