Is that artcile BSing? Or is that for real? If that's real ...

Very very interesting article. I've heard about all these rumours back then in 2003 about Honda hinting their development in an S2000-R, but I never knew Honda Japan actually invited people to test drive that thing. And I didn't know it was such a dramatic change in power and braking from the standard S2000 either.

Nevertheless, too bad Honda decided to scrap the TypeR plan in 2003, and only decided to proceed with the AP2 route. As much as I love the AP2, I would be happier had they come up with that kind of monster. I would be willing to pay 50 grand for that thing if Honda really did lighten up the car, shoved in a bigger engine, and got better suspension/braking systems to the extent that the article was saying. Those changes would truly bring the S2000

 

Most reputable sources will tell you that they are identical cars, differing only in roof options.

 

These S2000 variants, including the new CR are just honda's attempt to remind everyone that the S2000 is still here (despite dwindling sales). Most non-enthusiasts who remember it's debut in 1999 probably assumed it was dead (as manifested by the title of this article that's over a year old: http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2006/08...onda_s200.html).

 

this is 100000000% ..

not even the 3.2 NSX got 350 HP & 250 tor how will a 3.0 got that much
.
and with that little tiny car goes about 200MPH top speed, total insane.
I mean look at those exotics man, how big those big @$$ cars, and think about it.

 

shouldn't the Type-S looks the same as our CR? except for the top? why would it look a tad better?

 

I agree. This car though meager upgrades like the CR, does seems more practical then the CR with the soft top. Would seem like a better choice for all markets.

 

It would be cool if Honda is planning go give us a hardcore 10th year anniversary S2000. Lol.

 

Yeah that is weird considering its getting less from the majority of its own owners Just get on the CR thread. Makes you wonder
