Honda S2000

The Honda S2000 is a roadster automobile hand assembled by Honda. The car continues a tradition of lightweight roadster 'S' cars such as the S600 and S800. Like previous 'S' cars, the name of the S2000 comes from its displacement of approximately 2000 cm3. The S2000 was launched in April of 1999. From its inception in 1999 to 2003, S2000s were manufactured in Honda's Tochigi plant. S2000s since then have been manufactured in the Suzuka plant.

The rear wheel drive platform surprised many in the industry, since Honda only produced one other rear wheel drive car, the flagship NSX. The remainder of Honda's consumer cars are primarily front wheel drive. The S2000 does follow the tradition of the previous 'S' cars which were all rear wheel drive.

Notable in the S2000 is the racing-technology inspired X-bone monocoque frame suspension, which provides a significant amount of rigidity to the car. This improves handling under strenuous conditions and improves dependability of the steering.
