The best part of that is the fake stacked exhaust they stole from the IS-F. From the ass forward its downhill.

no convertible top if that top (as shown) was a hard top convertible, the storage space would go from five cu ft to zero...

It's too "concept" and has too many different things crammed in IMO. Ideally for me, the next S2000 should be like the jump from the AP1 to the AP2. Nothing too crazy like the totally different front and rear end of the one posted. I want to see the S2000 as a car that's built as a widebody, full underbody cover like on the Lotus cars, slightly revised head and tail lights, hatch back style and side profile like that of the RX-7 FD, dual tip dual exhaust that comes out of the rear bumper and has the black diffuser looking thing like on many cars. And an automatic speed sensing rear wing. Specs would be: 3.0l I6, 280hp/ 250ft-lb and 300hp/ 280ft-lb with a push of a button like on the M5, 9,000/ 11,000 RPM redline, 2600 lbs stock weight and 50/50 weight distribution. Oh and the capability to transform into a fighting robot.

I like this idea better...I'd love to have my own bumblebee S2k.

I think it's a mess. There is way too much going on. I like some of the things they did, but I have to really look for them.

I'd have to see it in person;if it ever comes into production and is remotely similar to this concept.

it's too much. IMO they should keep the body style the same and up the power to 275hp or more.
