Honda S2000 with Type-S suspension on sale in UK

Also featuring on the 2008 car are a new design of 17-inch 5-spoke alloy wheels and a new paint colour – Synchro Silver. On the inside, there are three new leather interiors to choose from – Black with red stitching, Brown with red stitching and Red with black sides. There is also a design change to the headrest frame which has been re-shaped to offer greater roll-over protection.

"The S2000 has always been a raw, exciting, performance car,” said Tom Gardner, Head of Marketing, Honda (UK), “but some found the car a little too edgy in some conditions. These latest changes, make the S2000 even more fun to drive but predictable too – giving the driver more confidence."

Sales of S2000 in 2007 totalled 563 units. The model is priced from £28,050 for the Roadster and £28,600 for the GT model with detachable roof.
