Five decades of designing and building racing cars and motorcycles has taught Honda engineers the value of centralizing a vehicle’s mass. The resulting balanced weight distribution percentage translates into less cornering pitch, better tire contact with the road, improved directional stability and quicker turns for the Honda S2000.
The used Honda S2000’s high-revving, 2.2-liter engine produces power that belies its displacement. In fact, it has one of the world’s highest horsepower-per-liter measurements for a naturally aspirated engine. Revolutionary VTEC design means there’s no compromise between low and high rpm performance. Whatever the engine speed power and efficiency are always optimized.
The engine block, cylinder head and oil pan are aluminum alloy. The pistons are super-light forged alloy. Cylinder liners are fiber-reinforced metal. These and countless other tricks, like hollowing out the camshafts so they double as lubrication paths for the used Honda S2000’s VTEC drivetrain, helped us develop an engine that is as lightweight as possible so your never held up in traffic.
The Honda S2000’s close-ratio gearing ensures strong performance in every gear. Shift throws are short and direct, with double and triple cone synchronizers helping reduce the effort. The limited-slip differential ensures continuous application of power to the rear wheels, especially when cornering. The transmission and entire drivetrain were designed to be as lightweight as possible, making the vehicle more responsive and increasing the driver’s feel for Atlanta’s roads.
Body rigidity is crucial to good handling, but is usually sacrificed to deliver the fun of an open-top roadster. The used Honda S2000’s monocoque body and high X-bone frame supply torsional rigidity higher than that found in many hard topped sports cars. The result is super-sharp handling and immediate, direct feel of Atlanta’s roads.
As any racer will tell you, quick laps are more about consistent control than sheer power. The Honda S2000’s double wishbone suspension is designed to deliver, sharing many features with road-racing suspensions. These include a compact layout, highly rigid construction, minimal unsprung weight, a low center of gravity and ideal geometry.
The used Honda S2000’s racing heritage and advanced technology make it a perfect choice if you are looking for a sports car!
