2018 Honda s2000 320hp turbo
 

Looks like things are heating up as Honda will show the 2nd gen s2k concept at the September LA auto show. At 320hp with turbos this thing looks promising if it can retain or even weigh less than its original.

Revived Honda S2000 May Get 320 HP Twin-Charged Inline-Four

Crossing my fingers that they reveal it in September. Ive been lightweight thinking about getting back into an S2k, even if they release a new one in a couple years the older ones will always command that respect like the older NSX's.

Ive never understood the popularity of this car. I know honda makes some of the best motors on the planet but this thing is ugly as sin. Sorry not trying to hurt any feelings I've just never been a fan of this car. I've seen some heavily modded versions that look mean as hell but stock they're in the same category, in my mind, as a miata (aesthetically speaking )

Yea they are both convertibles so I get why it would be dropped in the same category. The new Miata looks more S2k than the older ones do, but they are still smaller in comparison. The S2k has those classic lines and long sloping hood, the body lines are more FD RX7 than Miata. Personally I loved the open top experience factored in with 9k redlines, razor sharp handling and great drivetrain it was a fun car to have. Not for everyone though.

The cars in that post look like they are ten years old, not modern in the least in terms of styling. Rather benign. And that turbo four doesn't jive with my impressions of the original S2K. They take a platform and rebirth it without any of the potential it should have.

new s2k... looking forward to it! :rock:

*GASP!!!* *Runs to bathroom crying*

C&D is the ONLY mainstream magazine with the rumor mill credentials of a 12 year old lying drunk kid.

There are a couple modded black ones around where I work with big wings. I dig em'

But not even close to the Z!

coming from an s2k to my nismo 370z, I can say that I would trade this car in on day 1 for a new s2k. The s2k was hands down the BEST handling car I've ever driven, even before the suspension mods. Far less body roll, More comfortable seating position, better visibility and for whatever reason, it was easier getting out of my s2k with the cusco cage than my z.

Yea ive seen heavily modded ones that look great but bone stock is what i was talking about. It just leaves a lot to be desired imo. AgainI was just talking about looks not performance

This is good news and I can't wait to see the next S2K. I was a fan of the first generation car, and would've been an S2K driver had I not been a huge Z car fanboy. The interior was too cramped for my taste, but it was certainly a blast to drive. I'm actually more excited about the new S2K than the next Supra.

and Im actually more excited about the S2K than the Next Z

hey you cant say that about miatas in this miata forum:mad:





there really is a lot of sk2 and miata posts in this place :)

ive never understood the popularity of torque converter based AT on a sports car. Sorry not trying to hurt any feelings I've just never been a fan of torque converters on any car especially sports cars. I've seen some heavily modded versions that look mean as hell but with AT they're in the same category, in my mind, boring as a corolla (dynamically speaking )
