Spoiler looks like arse

the front end is "Ap2 meet Marga Hills"
is that a new front bumper?? - look like a new lip added to AP2 front

Not digging the 4x4 look - needs lowering badly

and...IMHO the ONLY color it should have come in was white. This is definately NOT the S2000 Type R people were hoping for.

HONDA - please, please, just let the S2000 die gracefully!

 

04/04/2007 - NEW YORK - The club racer-inspired 2008 Honda S2000 CR
Prototype making its world debut at the New York International Auto Show
introduces a higher level of track-worthy performance and style to the
S2000 roadster, American Honda Motor Co., Inc., announced today.
The S2000 CR will be available as an entirely new S2000 trim level when it
goes on sale in the fall of 2007. The lighter, stiffer and more aggressive
overall design is engineered to maximize the S2000's potential on a
racetrack with the goal of substantially-improving track times, chassis
balance and feel. The factory-tuned roadster provides highly-aggressive
suspension settings, increased body and chassis rigidity, overall weight
reduction and an aerodynamic body kit dialed-in for reduced lift. An
aluminum hardtop replaces the convertible soft top as standard equipment.
"The S2000 CR is the closest thing you can get to a Honda-built racecar
with license plate holders and a horn," said John Mendel, executive vice
president of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "Its features and equipment
are designed to appeal to weekend club racing enthusiasts."
The full-body aerodynamic package reduces lift through large and
highly-tuned front and rear spoilers. Exclusive chassis features include a
quicker steering ratio, Bridgestone Potenza RE070 tires, a wider rear tire
size, firmer springs and dampers, larger stabilizer bars and a new wheel
design in a dark gray color.
Substantial structural bracing has been added to the storage area
previously occupied by the soft top, resulting in additional rigidity. The
aluminum hard top replaces the soft top of the conventional S2000,
resulting in an overall weight savings of approximately 90 pounds when
removed (relative to the current S2000).
The exclusive interior is highlighted by unique cloth seating surfaces
with yellow stitching, a unique spherical aluminum shifter and carbon
fiber-style trim panels. Air conditioning and an AM/FM Stereo with CD
player are optional equipment. Standard features for the S2000 include
17-inch aluminum alloy wheels, ABS and Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA).
While VSA serves to effectively enhance driver control during
acceleration, braking, and cornering, the system can be disabled with the
touch of a button when conditions warrant it.
Widely considered the quintessential roadster-style sports car, the S2000
is the performance icon for the Honda brand and combines uncompromising
racetrack-ready performance with everyday usability. The S2000 rewards
driving enthusiasts with a potent 2.2-liter, 16-valve DOHC VTEC

 

90lbs savings, WOW, that is going to put us on Elise numbers now

What a color.
But look at it this way after all this time now we know what the S in S2000 stands for

The SMURF2000

I think the resale value on all NON-CR variants just sky-rocketed...at least I don't have to trade mine in now.

 

Why does it look like a 4 X 4 on the TOV photos? That car needs to be lowered to look like a regular S2K does. And the wing, while functional, looks hideous. I'll stick with my plain-ol'-vanilla 05 model, thank you.

 

So, are they only offering it in blue or are they doing pink as well?

still on the fence about this..

 

all this hype for that? what a waste. no hp increase and only 90lb weight savings without the top on.
