There is no "specific" torque wrench meant for an S2000. I'm sure Mugen would make you one if you want to pay 50 times the cost just to have "Mugen" stamped on it. 
BTW, "torque" is not measured in "tq". It is measured in "lb/ft". For lugnuts, you will need one that will accurately measure 80 to 100 lb/ft. For simplicity, get the beam type. The clicker type is fancy and more expensive and will require annual calibration. For doing up wheel lugnuts, you can get by with a beam type.
For other, more critical nuts and bolts, then a clicker type is better but not essential. Again, get it in a range that will encompass the torque that you plan to use.
