Default Roots of the S2000 in here...

1962 Honda S360 shown here in Red:

Powered by an all new, DOHC, water-cooled, in-line 4 cylinder engine with four carburetors, it produced 33 horsepower from 356cc at an unheard of 9,000 rpm.

1963 Honda S500 shown here in white:

Initially introduced with a 492cc engine, the specifications read like those from a Formula 1 race car; double overhead camshafts, four carburetors, a needle roller bearing crankshaft, and a 9,500 rpm redline. The car produced 44 horsepower at 8,000 rpm from its later, production displacement of 531cc, weighed approximately 1,500 pounds, and could achieve a top speed of 80 miles per hour.

1964 Honda S600 shown here in white:

For this model, the engine capacity was increased to 606 cc. The engine produced 57 hp at 8500 rpm and had a top speed of 90 mph. With the convertible weighing in at 1576 pounds, the extra sheet metal of the coupe only added 33 pounds to the overall weight.

1966 Honda S800 shown here in white:

The displacement was increased to 791cc which resulted in 70 hp at 8000 rpm. The S800 reached 100 mph and still boasted 35 mpg.

Just thought i would share some info i found on HondaBeat.com.

"If someone ever offers you a ride in an S2000 by all means jump at the chance. If someone offers you a road test of an S2000 jump up and down and vigorously nod your head."
