What the hell does the S stand for in S2000, I mean Honda cant just put out a car and it have no phonetic meaning. does it stand for whatever you want it to or what? Im baffled.

 

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say S stands for "sport"

 

I agree. The S-series debuted June 1962 at the meeting of Japan's Honda Dealer's Association at the still under construction Suzuka Circuit. The S360 introducted there was a mini sports car, driven by Soichiro Honda onto the main straight of the circuit. This was a protype of the car that would appear at auto-show later that year. By the time it actually made production it became the S500, followed by the S600, and S800... and finally many year's later the S2000.

 

good history...guess ill go with them

 

yeah i knew that much but there are so many good names that start with S like sport or soichiro or suzuka. but i want an official answer i guess ill write honda and find out.

 

The Japanese owner's of the older S cars refer to them as the Honda Sports series. So I'll be surprised if you find out it stands for anything else but who knows... it could. Let us know.

 

alot of girls tell me the S stands for Sexy

 

For now ill take Sexy as the name until I write Honda. Sport series sounds good too.
