About Honda S2000
From 1999 all the way up until 2009, the Japanese automobile manufacturer Honda produced an open-top sports car known as the S2000. In 1995, at the Tokyo Motor Show, the SSM was presented as a concept vehicle for the first time. On April 15, 1999, to coincide with the celebration of the company’s 50th anniversary, the production version was introduced. The engine displacement of the S2000 is two liters, carrying on the tradition of the S500, S600, and S800 roadsters of the 1960s. The S2000 gets its name from the engine’s displacement.
Changes were made to the car’s engine, gearbox, suspension, interior design, and exterior design over the course of its production run. These were just some of the areas that were modified. Although cosmetically similar, the facelifted version, known as the AP2 in North America and Japan, incorporated significant changes to the drivetrain and suspension. Officially, there are two variants available: the initial launch model was given the chassis code AP1, and the facelifted version is known as the AP2. On August 19, 2009, production of the S2000 was finally halted.
The specific power output of the Honda S2000 was notable for being the highest of any mass-produced car with a naturally aspirated engine because it was approximately 124 horsepower per liter, which is equivalent to approximately two horsepower per cubic inch.
The Honda S2000 has since achieved the status of a bona fide modern classic car, as evidenced by the significant price increase that has occurred for valued examples that are kept in good condition. Special edition productions, such as the CR (Club Racer) in the USA market, are the most sought-after models in the JDM community as well as the car community as a whole; the standard AP1 and AP2 models have also achieved collectible status. This is true both in the JDM community and the car community as a whole.
The Honda Sport Study Model concept car was initially shown off at the 1995 Tokyo Motor Show. It served as the design study for the eventual production version of the Honda S2000. The SSM was a roadster with rear-wheel drive and an inline four-cylinder engine that was 2.0 liters (122 cubic inches) in capacity. It featured a rigid “high X-bone frame,” which Honda claimed improved the vehicle’s rigidity and collision safety. The body panels of the concept car were made of aluminum, and the vehicle’s weight was evenly distributed throughout its chassis.
Following its debut, the SSM made numerous appearances at auto shows over the ensuing years, each time dropping hints about the potential for a production model, which Honda eventually confirmed in 1999.
