i saw this at PureHonda.com:

"The following quote explains for itself!

Due to poor sales in Japan and Europe, Honda will introduce a more powerful Type-R version of the S2000 convertible. Since a lack of torque has been the greatest criticism, Honda will increase the displacement of the 4-cylinder engine to somewhere between 2.2 to 2.5 litres, with most of the gain going to improving low-end torque. An already spartan interior means there is not much weight to be lost in the transformation to Type-R status. An automatic transmission is also in the works as Honda gets desperate to expand the customer base to better match its European rivals.
Stay tuned to Purehonda.com for more info as it becomes available on this new addition to the "R" family!

Special thanks to Danny at Scoop! for the information."

i just got my s2k and feel some regret that i didnt wait for this. should i just be happy with my car or just be very jealous and bitter that i coulda waited a couple more years and gotten the type R

 

well don't worry cause from our visitors to honda's factory, the engineers already said that they don't plan on changing the engine anytime soon. In otherwords, I wouldn't really believe in this article.

Even if a Type R is ever manufactured then it will be a couple of years away as you say. In the meantime enjoy your new S2k and if you feel you still want a Type R, if and when it becomes available, trade your current S2000 and buy it then.

Once again, pure speculation ... I don't understand why these sites just post information on something they don't even have hard evidence of. Just some blurry looking image that doesn't even justify anything. Damn! This is a waste of everybody's time ... Seriously.

 

thanks for the reassurence guys
i feel much better!
dont get me wrong, i love my car but imagine having a 2.5L s2k

 

than it wouldn't be an s2k anymore.

I was pretty much convinced that the S2000 already is a type R, just without the label. Since it is everything a Type R is supposed to be and a whole lot more.
