2009 Honda Sports S2000 Modulo Concept
 
Lamborghini may be in to matte finishes, but it looks like Honda is still in to keeping things a little more flashy. Last week we saw Honda’s line-up at the Tokyo Auto Salon. Now here’s one of the concepts in more detail. This is Sports Modulo S2000 Concept. This takes the S2000 roadster and wraps it in chrome. Honda also gave the roadster a square-jaw body kit, which alters the lines to almost resemble the Japan-only mini convertible Honda made in the 90s called the Beat.

Honda S2000’s successor rendering
Honda will launch the next generation S2000 in 2010, with sales to begin worldwide starting 2011. The future S2000 will feature a more aggressive design, with a totally new front-end, with bigger air intakes and the high-tech optic units. It will offer two new engines, a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder V-TEC unit delivering approximately 250Hp and a 3.5-litre V6 V-TEC unit with about 350Hp. 2009 Honda S2000 successor
Honda will launch the next generation S2000 next year to celebrate the company’s 60th anniversary! The S2000 Roadster first launched in 1999 encountered a few changes in its short life time, but none of them being impressive. The future S2000 will feature a more aggressive design, with a totally new front-end, with bigger air intakes and the high-tech optic units. About the next generation S2000 there are two kinds of rumors. First one says the 2009 S2000 will grow in size and will be a four-seats convertible that will compete with models like Mercedes SLK and BMW Z4. Not very big changes for this to happen! The second rumor, and the most plausible one, says the future S200 will be smaller, the same size with its biggest competitor Mazda MX-5 Miata. And we think this is the way Honda will go. As about its engines, Honda will keep the current one: a 237 hp, 2.2-liter, 16-valve DOHC VTEC(R) 4-cylinder engine mated by a six speed manual transmission. Honda S2000 with Type-S suspension on sale in UK

The S2000’s handling and performance characteristics have been enhanced by changes to the suspension. The new set-up is identical to that fitted to its Japanese counterpart – the S2000 Type-S.  Re-tuned dampers, uprated springs and thicker anti-roll bars give the car greater stability, agile handling and more responsive steering, to help harness the S2000’s high-revving 240PS 2.0-litre i-VTEC engine.
