Happy New Year everybody!







Honda broke into the traditional sports car ranks with a decidedly un-Honda-like two-seater. Sized like the BMW Z3, Honda's rear-drive sports car came equipped with a hot 240-horsepower, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and a six-speed manual gearbox. Made for performance and to reflect Honda's racing heritage, the S2000 lacked a few basic items, such as a glovebox. Curiosities included a digital speedometer and a red Start button on the left of the dashboard, rather than the usual key starter. The power folding top had a plastic rear window. Not only did the S2000 offer optimal 50/50 weight distribution, but it featured a race-inspired in-wheel suspension, aimed at precise handling. Body styling made use of angular, chiseled forms, evolved from the SSM concept car seen at the 1995 Tokyo Motor Show. Functional roll bars were installed behind the seat. Standard equipment included electric power steering, all-disc antilock braking, leather upholstery, air conditioning, power windows and locks, high-intensity headlights, and 16-inch alloy wheels. A stereo system with CD player hid behind a retractable panel, low on the dashboard. An immobilizer antitheft system was installed, as was a Torsen limited-slip differential. Side-impact airbags were not available, but a removable aluminum hardtop was optional. Rivals ranged from the Audi TT and BMW Z3 Series to the Mazda Miata, Toyota MR2 Spyder, and Chevrolet Corvette.
