1999-2009 Honda S2000 review
Passion and spirits rise as Honda meets the challenges of the future, firm in our pursuit of driving pleasure. Our desire - to create a car with a unique sense of oneness, harmonising the diverse elements of life in the future. It's the living embodiment of the Honda spirit. It's the Honda S2000.The S2000 is not just a sports car, but an entity where the distinction between human desire and mechanical function almost ceases to exist - car and driver become one.The Honda S2000 - a sports car that responds intuitively to the demands of the driver while still obeying the laws of physics. The S2000 is a lightweight, compact package that combines a low centre of gravity with an ideal front-rear weight distribution and a low yaw moment of inertia.
Seat, steering wheel, shift lever and pedal positions - the interior ergonomics of the S2000 set this vehicle apart. Controls, such as air conditioning and audio switches, are located close to the steering wheel, and the digital-display speedometer is exceptionally easy to read.
The greatest technical challenge in the development of the S2000 engine was to combine clean exhaust emissions with high output and response in a compact enough package to allow installation behind the front axle centre line.
