This is the car that makes BMW’s, Audi’s, Jaguar’s and Mercedes all shake in their collective skins, this is because the Honda occasionally brings out something special and this is the one that the Japanese car maker should be proud of.
Honda has over the years been at the pinnacle of automotive history that is testament to company who not afraid of pushing the boundaries of auto technology, which leads us nicely to this fantastic version the Honda S2000.
Of course even Honda could not make their car look as good as this one, it takes time and of cash investment. However, the cars owners are from Hawaii, which also has its own effect on the development of cars, it must just be the climate and laid back feel to the place.
They have styled the bodywork so that the lines are still there, so that you can see that this is a Honda S2000, but the colour and styling is what makes this version of the S2000 very special and desirable not just by Honda fans.

With its 2.0-liter, naturally aspirated engine delivering an astounding 240-horsepower, the Honda S2000 more than lives up to the groundswell of publicity it generated on the 1999 auto show circuit – it gives the BMW Z3 and Porsche Boxster a run for their deutschmarks. This exclusive, blow-by-blow account follows the design, testing, and development of the two-seat S2000, from the first conceptual drawings and the prototypes unveiled in 1995 to the promotional campaigns and production models that hit U.S. streets in late 1999. Lavish colour photography and never-before-published images from Honda bring to life the evolution of a stunning new, limited production sports car and a dynamic period in the company’s history.
