I always wanted one of these since I was about 16. Nearly 10 years later I finally bought one. A black AP2 with only 16,000 miles. I can't stop driving it; Honda did something very special with this car
UK S2000 Owners Club you are completely correct. even here in South Africa we got AP1. Mine is an '01 pre face-lift. even after face-lift in '04 they were all still AP1. only USA and Japan got actual AP2's with F22's and their heavier flywheels
Love the s2000 my father had two, I was too young to drive when he had the first one but he let me drive the second one when I was 21, such a great car to drive. These will be worth a fortune in the future.
For those who are confused about the 9,000 rpm mention in this ap2. The s2000s in Europe still kept the rev up to 9,000 rpm. Only in the US was it limited to 8,000
what do i have to do to get one of these... evenb after working my back to bits i wouldn't be able to afford one of these. would cost me a house perhaps... ( 3rd world country citizen here )
If it's true, its probably that the F1 car has a much shorter stroke than the f20c, which will equate to a slower piston speed at the same given rpm. Whether it would have half the stroke of the s2000 though, I don't know
good car have only ever seen 1 in my island and it was in a music video, I would click the like button if i wasn't using it for bookmarking purposes. this is a cool car. It should be affordable if the owner ever decides to sell it. I like how the start button work, I wonder if it will ever stick like the like (heart) button in my browser window, imagine u sit in the car & it just starts by itself & u press the button frantically trying to undo it. how do u turn it off, I think i know
If only Honda would make a relatively affordable lightweight RWD sportscar with a naturally aspirated high revving engine. Not like the complex, heavy and disconnected-feeling-to-drive new NSX.
+69mrbrightside691 Even if the ethos of the NSX is to use cutting-edge tech (hence the name New Sportscar eXperience), they really could have made the car lighter without the complex AWD and hybrid motors. If they wanted to use cutting-edge tech, they should have invested money to engineering a lightweight carbon tub instead and keeping it RWD. What made the NA1/NA2 NSX-R so appealing was its honesty/rawness with lack of driving aids. We'll have to wait and see if the next generation NSX-R proves that Honda can still make a proper driver's car. To compete with its rivals (e.g. 911 Turbo, 570s, R8 plus, Huracan, 488 etc), I guess they would need to use a twinturbo V6 engine or even better, a naturally aspirated V10 or V12.
