Default If you were designing the new S2k, what would you change?

I'd put a folding metal roof. on a la MX5 and may be look at 6 pot engine (still with 9k redline!).

And improve the interior trim and space a tad.

But that is it

Other suggestions,

If it will be as disappointing as the CRZ, then it's name to something unrelated

I'd keep the canvas roof to keep weight down.

I'd give it some more power, more leg room for us lofty buggers, and redesign a better TCT!

update the looks
a carbon tub to reduce weight and maintain stiffness

another 40bhp

no power steering

so 280bhp and 1000kg i'd pay good money for that but it would need to be early noughties Honda style

Proper dashboard with proper dials like a proper car.

A third position on the ignition switch that starts the car.
