HONDA S2000




The S2000 was introduced in 1999 for the 2000 model year. It was manufactured by the Japanese automaker Honda Motor Company and was given the chassis designation of AP1. It featured a front mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive lay out with
power being delivered by a 1,997 cc (122 cu in) F20C incline 4-cylinder DOHC-VTEC engine producing from 240 hp (179 kW) to 250 PS (184 kW), and from 153 lbf·ft (207 N·m) to 22.2 kg·m (218 N·m) of torque depending on the target market. The engine is mated to a six-speed manual transmission and Torsen limited slip differential. The S2000 achieved what Honda claimed as the "top level performance in the world" for a 2-liter naturally aspirated engine.Features include independent double wishbone suspension, electrically assisted steering and integrated roll hppos. 16 in (41 cm) wheels with Bridgestone Potenza S-02 tires were standard equipment. The compact and lightweight engine, mounted entirely behind the front axle, allows the S2000 to obtain a 50:50 front/rear weight distribution and lower rotational inertia. An electrically powered vinyl top with internal cloth lining was standard. Honda made available an aluminum hardtop for additional cost.
