Why in the world would a new s2000 get a detuned Civic Type-R motor? Should be the other way around... seriously, I just don't get the logic. Why would you slot a purpose-built roadster below the 'roided up version of a fwd economy car in your model lineup?

Yeah, that's the only part of the rumor I don't like. I would hope that the new S2000 would get its own unique engine, which would be second only to the NSX.

Calling a Civic Type-R an economy car is funny lol…
Why do you guys need so much power and torque anyways? The fun about this car was always the fine balance between power, handling and weight distribution. Americans have this funny thought that more power is the solution for everything and sure isn't. This car isn't a GM of Ford V8 and should remain that way.
In my honest opinion even a turbocharged engine isn't necessary to bring the car back to it's glory unless for fuel economy purposes. This car would do just fine with a 300hp engine turbo or aspirated but I would never put my money on it if it had 350hp+

Lets hope the new S, if it materializes, is also this special...
