Re-imagining the Honda S2000, the last Honda we would actually buy, is a tall order. The car went on sale in 1999 and sold 112,000 units over the 10 year life.
The original car featured an excellent 240 hp 2.0-liter engine which revved all the way to 9000 rpm. It was also a great handling and great looking car, with classic sports car proportions - an evolution of the Mazda MX-5, which itself is the evolution of the light British sports car, which has mostly died out in its motherland. This new version was thought up by design student Michael Mcgee, and it’s clearly a lot bolder than an official Honda concept ever could be. It’s a stunning piece of design which blends the classic front engined RWD shape with extremely modern touches, and we think it’s a genuinely great piece of design.
In his own words, the creator of the concept says: "My design is classic and advanced simultaneously. It uses simple surfacing but an innovative frame structure and function to balance a raw, classic sports car attitude with an advanced concept that pushes into the future. The inspiration is an R/C car, shown by the structure design and the emphasis on lightness and plastics. The yellow body sides of the car can be exchanged for other styles and colors based on the customers wants. These body sides also function as large doors."
