2000
ICOTY Awards - Sports Car
Most
Wanted - Honda S2000
 Most-wanted
sports car is an understatement; the S2000 brings back memories
of Honda’s CRX, also so popular it was wait-listed
for up to a year at some dealerships. And, really, what’s
not to want here? Push the button, start the car: cool.
Rev the 2.0-liter 240-horsepower engine up to a ridiculous
83000-rpm redline: double cool.
We want this vehicle because we know that all of Honda’s
years in racing is behind this engine. What the company
has learned from Formula One and Indy Car racing—and
has been kind enough to share with the public—is that
it’s impossible to have this much fun in any other
naturally aspirated production engine on the planet.
State-of-the-art technology defines everything about the
S2000, from the chassis dynamics to the valve timing to
the exhaust system. Yes we want this car; we want it bad,
and we want it now.
