If they ever do bring out a 'Type' version perhaps it will be a S2000 Type S, anyone know what the 'S' stands for? Sports?

We actually have a Type R seriously ... It's just not called a Type R because of the 50th anniversary celebrations by Honda Japan. Nevertheless, all red engines from Honda means R models respectively. NA1 - C32B NSX, AP1 - F20c S2000, DC5 - K20a Integra Type R, DC2 - B18c Integra Type R and EK9 - B16b Civic Type R.

Seriously though, if the S2K is indeed a R breed, then it should have a manual top.

No responsible caring engineering type Honda loving person would ever think of unleashing an R-type with more hp and a lighter body with those unforgiving OEM OS2 tyres (or is it tires) on an unsuspectivng and uninformed public unless then included (at the very least) a highly refined tire gauge with the car and a blood oath they will use it. If they do that... I can believe it.

IMO, the s2k is far from being an R. It has a whole bunch of compromises and ad-ons to make it more suitable for resale against it's competition.... A type R version would almost be a pure race car like the Elise...
I would love that.
