2009 Car - AP1?
Hello,
I'm hoping to find myself my first S2000.
I've been to look at one today which is a 2009 car, however the VIN plate clearly says AP1 and the redline is also 9000 rpm. I understood that the redline was lowered on all cars post 2004.
Have I misunderstood something or is this car not quite right? I'm in the UK if that makes a difference.
Cheers
Phil

This explains the differences. Thank you for asking, so many people (wrongly) call the European AP1 facelift, AP2, we never had it so anyone referring to an S2000 as AP2 in the UK is one thing...... WRONG!

Yes sorry, totally misunderstood. All cars sold in the UK are AP1, AP2 refers to the 2.2L engine version sold in the USA and Japan. In the UK we have the facelift version. Redline is 9000 rpm on the 2.0L engine that we continued with over here.
