Well after the appaling new CTR design Honda have gone and wrecked the S2000 now. What a POS!!!

Its a limited run of 2000 (thank god) and looks just like is crashed into a Halfords!! :lol:

What are Honda on at the moment!!!

I will try and get a proper pic of the front but its awful!!! It has strakes moulded into the bumper and it makes the front look like its 2 foot of the ground. :lol:

That spoiler for one doesn't belong on it. The S has classic lines and can't have something like that fitted to it. :eek:

NEW YORK, April 4, 2007 - The club racer-inspired 2008 Honda S2000 CR Prototype making its world debut at the New York International Auto Show introduces a higher level of track-worthy performance and style to the S2000 roadster, American Honda Co. Inc., announced today today.
The S2000 CR will be available as an entirely new S2000 trim level when it goes on sale in the fall of 2007. The lighter, stiffer and more aggressive overall design is engineered to maximize the S2000's potential on a racetrack with the goal of substantially improving track times, chassis balance and feel. The factory-tuned roadster provides highly aggressive suspension settings, increased body and chassis rigidity, overall weight reduction and an aerodynamic body kit dialed-in for reduced lift. An aluminum hardtop replaces the convertible soft top as standard equipment.
"The S2000 CR is the closest thing you can get to a Honda-built racecar with license plate holders and a horn," said John Mendel, executive vice president of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "Its features and equipment are designed to appeal to weekend club racing enthusiasts."
The full-body aerodynamic package reduces lift through large and highly tuned front and rear spoilers. Exclusive chassis features include a quicker steering ratio, Bridgestone Potenza RE070 tires, a wider rear tire size, firmer springs and dampers, larger stabilizer bars and a new wheel design in a dark gray color.
Substantial structural bracing has been added to the storage area previously occupied by the soft top, resulting in additional rigidity. The aluminum hard top replaces the soft top of the conventional S2000, resulting in an overall weight savings of approximately 90 pounds when removed (relative to the current S2000).
The exclusive interior is highlighted by unique cloth seating surfaces with yellow stitching, a unique spherical aluminum shifter and carbon fiber style trim panels. Air conditioning and an AM/FM Stereo with CD player are optional equipment. Standard features for the S2000 include 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels, ABS and Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA). While VSA serves to effectively enhance driver control during acceleration, braking, and cornering, the system can be disabled with the touch of a button when conditions warrant it.
Widely considered the quintessential roadster-style sports car, the S2000 is the performance icon for the Honda brand and combines uncompromising racetrack-ready performance with everyday usability. The S2000 rewards driving enthusiasts with a potent 2.2-liter, 16-valve DOHC VTEC® 4-cylinder engine and a precise, short throw 6-speed manual transmission, along with tenacious handling and a perfect 50/50 weight balance.
The renowned high-revving engine delivers 237 horsepower at 7,800 rpm and 162 lb-ft of torque at 6,800 rpm. Perfectly complimenting the engine's output characteristics is a compact, longitudinally-mounted, close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission that features a direct linkage for precise shifting and quick throws. Combined with a front and rear double wishbone suspension, precise electric power steering, and a torque-sensing limited slip differential, the end result is a complete, no compromise, performance package for the enthusiast driver.

They have completely lost the plot with this. No soft top at all so not going to be brought by the weekend driver but no way is it full on enough to appeal to people who want a stripped out track car. The styling is pish and just playing with damper rates and shedding a few pounds does not a road going race car make as quoted.

Very very disappointed.
 
It's a little different but I don't think it's too bad personally. Shame it hasn't had any real performance tweaks to make it a monster but still... :lol:
 
I quite like it .....

but no soft top is just dumb. They cant release that here...

EDIT:
Just saw a pic of the front ... Not nice AT ALL I have to say. rear not too bad though...

That's probably the worst colour i've seen on an S2000 let alone the jet wing on the back.

:eek:

Hmmm. What a horrible colour for a concept. It's a bit tarts handbag for me. Anyone ever seen a Mugen S2K? It looks infinitely better than this...thing. Thumbs most definitely down.

Don't like the rear wing,

Would like to see it in another colour as well. As I don't mind some of the body kit features.
 
I think I like it but I don't like the seats or the colour of them, just put a set of recaro's in there!
