A detailed and up to date history of the Honda S2000.
Taking you right the way from the prototype that started it all through the record breaking engine, the many changes in the 2004 facelift, right the way to the end of production and what the future has in store for the Honda Roadster.
NOTES/REVISIONS/CORRECTIONS
Honda actually made 3 special edition S2000s for the Japanese Domestic Market. The little known about Gioire Edition was introduced in 2002 and featured a tan interior with a two tone steering wheel and cross stitched seats. Chrome wing mirrors, special gold BBS alloy wheels and was available in just two colours; Royal Navy Blue Pearl and Dark Red Pearl, both of which had gold pin-striping.
There also was a Special Edition S2000 released in 2006 exclusively for the French, Italian and Spanish markets. The S2000 RJ edition was available only in pearl white and it came with a hard top and a black or black and red leather interior. What made this special edition so special was that the top of each RJ’s audio head cover was hand signed by both of the Honda Formula 1 Team’s drivers at the time, Rubens Barrichello and Jenson Button. And this is where the name of the car is derived from, the initial of each drivers first name, R & J. This special edition was limited to just 50 units and of course the car included a special plaque with the car’s production number down the centre console.

I apologise for the fading writing towards the end of the video, my pen was running out of ink and I didn't have a spare. The only upside to this is that I proceeded to anger purchase 40 black white board pens so I am now financially invested in making these videos for the foreseeable future.
