The s2000 is coming back in hybrid form, it is said that it will be making 350 horsepower with a 2 liter turbo 4 cyl mid engine(let's hope it's the f22), it is said it will have a hard top and rougly cost around in the 50-60,000 radius. LET'S DREAM, i'm more than excited. Estimated release?? 2017.. but it's closer than I expected atleast...

 

50-60 canadian or usd?

also there is a thread in car talk dedicated to this

liking the look of this. we shall see as time draws closer.

 

#1. Its not an S2000.
#2. Its just a rumor, and a lot of people talking out of their ass about what they want to see in a car.
#3. If the rumor is anything like the NSX rumors, we'll see an actual car that kind of resembles what an S2000 was in about 12 years.

That said, I'd welcome a car that actually delivers on the S2000's original goals, but I doubt a hybrid will do it.

 

The S660 concept is ugly...

 

Sounds pretty legit. /s

 

Well Honda is re-entering the Formula One engine manufacturers game next year. *Shrug*

On the bright side, the hybrid powertrain in this year's F1 car is actually quite brilliant. It can harvest energy from the turbo in addition to rear axle braking. Likewise, it can electronically spool the turbo in addition to the electric motors in the rear axle.
