2017 Honda S2000 (3rd generation)

Honda is allegedly working on an S2000 reboot programmed to come out in 2017.

The S2000 was phased out back in 2009 and since then many rumors emerged about a potential comeback but nothing materialized. Now, British media is reporting a new generation is slated for a 2017 market launch and will sit between the S660 and NSX. At its heart will be an uprated version of the 4-cylinder, 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine taken from the upcoming Civic Type R which will develop somewhere in the region of 350 bhp (261 kW).

The same source says something about a hybrid technology developed in collaboration with the McLaren Formula 1 Team and will enable the model to perform a 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) run in approximately 5 seconds while keeping fuel economy at around 33.3 mpg US (40 mpg UK or 7 liters / 100 km).

The 2017 Honda S2000 should have a starting price of around 35,000 GBP (59,000 USD / 42,000 EUR).

According to Autocar, Honda is already developing the new S2000 and the brand recently sent some of its engineers to an S2000 owners’ club event to gather information from the enthusiasts there on how to best position the new car.

The reborn S2000 will remain a front-engine rear-wheel drive sports car, though power is said to be down compared to the second generation S2000, matching up more closely with the new Mazda MX-5. A turbocharged four-cylinder engine is said to be the source of the car’s power, making somewhere around 180 hp.

A hotter version of the new S2000 using the Civic Type R’s 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder is also a possibility, though it would probably be detuned from the Civic’s 306 hp. Every model of the new S2000 will likely use a six-speed manual transmission.

The biggest roadblock in the development of the new S2000 is the lack of a donor platform, which means Honda would have to design something brand new. According to the report, the car may come to the US wearing an Acura badge.

Patent filings for a smaller, mid-engine NSX sports car were rumored to show off the next S2000, but this report refutes that, saying that Mazda still plans to build its baby NSX, but for now the S2000 is top priority.
