S2000 Type V?
I recently purchased a Honda Tuning Magazine, and was flipping threw reading, I came apon the susuzka blue S2000, and below the picture it said S2000 Type V.
So I will post a little what the article had to say. It's pretty interesting!
"It's no secret Japanese manufactures often keep the most cutting-edge technology at home. Case in point: The S2000 Type V. The world's first Variable Ratio Steering mechanism. Honda calls its system the VGS, for the Variable Ratio Steering. the system is designed to provide slow steering at freeway speeds (a numerically higher ratio) and quick steering at low speeds(a numerically lower ratio). The goal is to give the driver the best of both worlds:the sharp reflexes sports car drivers demand for low-speed maneuvers but the high speed stability of a slower ratio.
They also have advance the anti-roll bars to reduce body roll during the sharp maneuvers!
They have only couple of visible signs telling you that it is a Type V badges are located on the outside of the car and on the steering wheel.
But unfortunately they don't know wether it will come to the USA or not!

Sounds like a high tech version of Speed sensitive steering. Old technology, it is found mostly in high end european cars. Im sure the autobahn has something to do with it, but im not entirely sure
