More Honda S2000 CR
Even though, this has no more hp than the current S2K, it is faster around the track due to lighter weight because of an all-aluminum hardtop. Honda has also retuned the suspension with stiffer springs and dampers plus fatter anti-roll bars. The tires that are on this CR model is the exact on the NSX Type-R vehicle. The Club Racer edition also has a quicker ratio than the current model, has a shorter shifter with shorter throws and yellow on black fabric interior. There are no rear spare tire to save for weight, instead there is a pump/tire sealent kit.
There will be four colours: Blue, Black, Yellow and White.
Honda expects to build only 2 000 of them every year. Pricing is unspecified but when it is announced, it'll be posted in this blog! So stay here if you want to know the pricing!

Compared to the S2000, the factory-tuned Honda S2000 CR provides more aggressive and track-oriented suspension settings, increased body and chassis rigidity, overall weight reduction, and aerodynamic spoilers tuned for reduced lift and enhanced chassis balance at high speeds. A removable aluminum hardtop replaces the convertible soft top.
The aerodynamic package reduces lift through large and specially-tuned front and rear spoilers. Exclusive chassis features include a quicker steering ratio, more aggressive Bridgestone Potenza RE070 tires (in place of RE050 tires), a larger rear tire size, firmer springs and dampers, larger stabilizer bars and the S2000's new wheel design in Kaiser Silver. A rear body brace has been added to the area previously occupied by the soft top, resulting in additional rigidity. Relative to the base 2008 Honda S2000, cumulative weight savings total 51 pounds (hardtop installed) and 99 pounds (hardtop removed).
The exclusive interior is highlighted by black fabric seating surfaces with yellow stitching, a unique spherical aluminum shifter and carbon fiber-style trim panels. To save weight, air conditioning and an AM/FM/CD audio system are only available as factory-installed optional equipment.
