Honda Motor Company entered the 21st century by going back to its roots: producing a two-seat roadster. The new Honda S2000, a carefully crafted blend of horsepower and sculpted good looks matched to a Formula One exhaust note, was a far-cry from the S600 and S800 roadsters of the 1960s,
but like its predecessors, its name was based upon its engine displacement.
Honda S2000 is a high performance two-seater roadster has nearly 10 years without a complete redesign. Honda spiced things last year, but the track-ready with a new package called the S2000 CR. CR stands for "club racer," and trim continues into 2009. He competes with the S2000 two-seat roadsters, including the Pontiac Solstice GXP, BMW Z4 and Audi TT.

Built in celebration of Honda’s 50th anniversary, the S2000 boasted performance numbers (zero to 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds) similar to the Acura NSX, and at half the cost – approximately $52,000 Canadian.
The S2000 was built in recognition of Honda’s racing pedigree. Producing a whopping 240 horsepower from a normally aspirated 2.0-litre DOHC VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) engine had never been attempted or achieved before in a production vehicle. It remains today one of the most remarkable engines ever built.
