Default Interesting inital S2000 design drawing

Looks like a blend of the SSM and S2000. I like the configuration of the brake ducts.

Also, it looks like Honda originally considered having a vent behind each front wheel.

I fell in love with the SSM back in 1995 when it was shown in Japan at the Tokyo Auto Show.



After the SSM came the SSX concept, which was the first real step towards the S2000. The blue drawing comes from the SSM to SSX era.

You can start to see some evolution here, although this was still labelled SSM.

And let's not forget, 1995 dates back to the Acura Vigor period, as in 5 cyl.
The original SSM was built with a 300 hp 2.5 inline 5.
