If you are looking for a sports car, the Honda S2000 is worth considering. This two-seater earlier underwent a revamp to give car enthusiasts what they were waiting for—a fun driving experience. This open-top sports car offers powerful performance and comes with a rear-wheel drive system, firm and supportive bucket seats, and a six-speed manual transmission. So, here are a few key features that make the Honda S2000 an ideal pick for motorheads:

Engine and performance
If there’s one thing that characterizes the Honda S2000, it is its 2-liter 4-cylinder naturally-aspirated engine that generates 240 horsepower at 8300 RPM. The redline is at 9,000 RPM—an incredibly competitive engine speed for cars in the segment.

Additionally, the car is equipped with a double-wishbone suspension and a digital instrument cluster—a typical feature of racing cars today, but ahead of its time when the sports car was first introduced. Its rigid frame offers a firm foundation for the all-control-arm suspension. Although the engine screams at 8900 RPM with all the mechanical clatter under the chiseled aluminum hood, the sound is pure music to the ears of sports car enthusiasts. Nevertheless, occupants would not feel the engine vibrations in the cabin. The car goes from 0 to 60 mph in about 6.8 seconds. The near-perfect chassis, the precision of the tires, the ideal 50/50 weight distribution, and the well-planted tail are among other key features of the car.

The S2000 moves perfectly on straight roads and never gets stuck in any position, offering a firm and comfortable ride. Even on winding roads, the car offers excellent handling dynamics. Further, you get firm brake pedals, and while braking hard, the car does not do a nosedive. Overall, these specs ensure a wonderful driving experience.
 

Interior and technology

While this could be your ideal sports car, you can find a few excellent features in the cabin that do not align with what you would expect in a traditional sports car. For instance, you get a lot of legroom, which is great for taller occupants. What’s more? Even the pedal box is quite spacious, which provides unhindered footwork. However, the storage space in the car is minimal at just 5 cubic feet (with all seats in place). You get a tiny glove box between the seatbacks and two small door pockets to store personal items. Nevertheless, the limited cargo space is comparable with other two-seater sports cars. Some other key features in the Honda S2000 are cruise control, a CD player, a digital instrument display, and keyless entry. You also get air-conditioning and leather upholstery for enhanced comfort; however, the CR Trim gets rid of both features and instead offers a removable hardtop and fabric seats with suede inserts that help decrease the overall weight of the car.

Exterior
The Honda S2000 comes with four color options: silver, white, black, and red. The two-door, two-passenger car is a compact angular vehicle with a rear-wheel-drive, front-engine layout. The convertible top is power-operated, and the car has 16-inch wheels and high-intensity discharge headlights.

Safety
The car has been designed to provide optimal safety to the driver and passengers. Honda has prioritized enhancing the car’s ability to absorb maximum impact during a crash. Additionally, the S2000 comes with seatbelts and airbags along with load limiters, roll bars, and pre-tensioners to enhance the safety of the occupants.
