Why Everyone Wants A Honda S2000
The Honda S2000 Type S occupies a very special place in automotive history because there has never really been another car quite like it.
Honda created a lightweight rear wheel drive roadster powered by one of the highest revving naturally aspirated production engines ever installed in a sports car. The result was a car that rewarded skilled drivers and delivered an experience that remains difficult to replicate even today.
Unlike many modern sports cars that rely heavily on turbochargers and electronic aids, the S2000 is wonderfully mechanical. The steering feels alive, the gearbox is widely regarded as one of the finest manual transmissions ever built and the chassis delivers exceptional balance.
Today enthusiasts are actively searching for clean examples because they know Honda is unlikely to ever build another sports car quite like the S2000.
Values have steadily increased worldwide and the best examples continue to attract strong competition whenever they appear at auction.
What Makes The Honda S2000 Type S So Special
The Type S was Honda’s ultimate factory evolution of the S2000.
Built in limited numbers and offered during the final years of production, the Type S received a collection of upgrades designed to sharpen the driving experience and enhance the appearance of the car.
The Type S package included revised suspension tuning, unique aerodynamic enhancements and exclusive styling details that separated it from standard S2000 models.
This example benefits from the desirable Type S aerodynamic package including upgraded front bumper styling, rear spoiler and factory Type S features that give the car a far more aggressive appearance.
Many enthusiasts consider the Type S to be the most desirable production S2000 ever built and values generally reflect that demand.
