Honda S2000 Type S

Motoring Channel Staff - 24/October/2007

Tokyo, Japan — Honda's new S2000 Type S is based on the S2000 open-top sports car, but features a much sportier personality.

With an all-new body kit the new vehicle isn't likely to find it's way to Australia, but we can dream. The new look will turn heads, but it's also a more aerodynamic design and Honda says that it improves the cars speed and handling as a result.

The Honda S2000 Type S has a lot in common with the North American Honda S2000 Club Racer model, which was shown at the New York Motor Show, and is powered by a 176kW (237hp) 2.2-litre naturally aspirated engine. It revs to more than 7000rpm to attain its peak power, and drives through the rear wheels - a rarity in the Honda range.

The Type S model gets a larger rear wing, new aero front and rear aprons, side skirts, new wheels, and new colour-coded leather interior.
