The report suggests the new S2000 won’t be anything like the old one. Like the NSX, the Honda S2000 successor is expected to be a mid-engine coupe with a gas-electric hybrid powertrain. While the
NSX will feature a twin-turbocharged V-6 (no bigger than 3.5 liters) and three electric motors, the Honda S2000 successor will likely get a version of the 350-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter I-4 from the next-generation European-market Honda Civic Type-R with a less complex hybrid setup. The car is estimated to hit 60 mph in less than 5.0 seconds and return around 40 mpg.
While the
NSX will sit at the top of Honda’s (Acura) performance echelon, the Honda S2000 successor will slot in the middle just above the mid-engine S660 roadster. That car itself is a successor to the Japanese-market
Honda Beat kei-car and will feature a 64-hp 660 cc I-3 in Japan and a larger 100-hp turbocharged 1.0-liter I-3 for export.
The next NSX is expected to arrive in early 2015 with the
S660 going on sale in Japan toward the end of that year, while the S2000 successor won’t likely arrive until 2017.
