2008 Honda S2000 Overview

Introduction

The Honda S2000 is a two-seat roadster that's the size of a small Mazda Miata and has the speed of a Porsche Boxster.

A 2.2-liter four cylinder engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission is equipped to the S2000, producing 237 horsepower and 162 pounds-feet of torque. The S2000 has a stiff suspension, and comes with a molded top cover (body-colored hardtop optional) and leather-trimmed bucket seats. All-disc antilock brakes come standard.

For 2008, significant changes to the Honda S2000 are found in its wheel design, suspension, and gauge layout. Its engine is a carryover from 2007. A new limited edition Honda S2000 CR (which stands for "Club Racer") is also available in 2008, with standard aluminum hardtop, specially designed aerodynamic front spoiler and rear wing, upgraded suspension, and cloth seats with synthetic suede trimmings. The air conditioning and radio are optional and for additional weight savings the sound insulation, spare tire and jack, and convertible soft top have been removed on the CR.
