Honda S2000
"The sports convertible, which was created by enthusiasts specifically for enthusiasts, he raised the record for all future similar cars and became a classic role model.
He is the object of pride of the owners "- these epithets are directed towards a unique roadster Honda S2000.
This is the first, following the legendary Honda S800 1965 model, rear-wheel-drive sports carHonda car with front engine. He is a kind of his "spiritual heir" and custodian of the great sports traditions of the company, whose name has always been associated with victories on the world racing tracks.
Even now, despite its respectful age of 11 years, a two-liter atmospheric gasoline engine power 240 hp. from. is one of the most productiveever produced naturally aspirated civil engines. When creating the engine S2000 engineers everywhere used all the experience that was accumulated in the development of motors of Formula-1.
In support of his incredible qualities, the engine Honda S2000 five times became the owner of the title "International Engine of the Year"in the category from 1.8 to 2.2 liters.With all outstanding results, the engine meets the most stringent environmental requirements.
For ten years of existence Honda S2000 wasIt is represented on the markets of 64 countries and sold over 110,000 copies worldwide, making a significant contribution to the development of the narrow-sector sector of two-seater vehicles. Apogee evolution of the roadster was a special series Honda S2000 Ultimate Edition, which crowns the glorious history of the model.
Thanks to a number of key improvementsin the suspension, transmission and body structure, it was possible to achieve a more acute, more predictable control, turning any trip into an emotional flow directed towards the movement.
Effective changes in transmission have led tomore smooth shifting of gears, due to the use of new carbon synchronizers, the process takes place more clearly - this in a complex has allowed to reduce wear, to facilitate weight and to improve the quality of the gearbox as a whole. S2000 Ultimate Edition, among other things, is equipped with a system of exchange rate stability VSA, designed to improve the already excellent handling of the car.
It would seem that a pronounced aggression andsporting character suggests an ascetic minimalism in the cabin, however, unlike many of its rivals, the interior of the Honda S2000 is distinguished by the refinement and comfort inherent in high-end cars. Particular attention was paid to the quality of materials for the upholstery of panels and seats in the cabin. Since the upholstery, due to its specificity, will be exposed to intense sunlight when the roof is open, the finishing material was chosen taking into account the resistance to ultra-violet radiation.
Designers sought to reflect in the salon "true sports style", so most of the main instruments - including the digital panel and the main levers of control - are located in the immediate vicinity of the steering wheel.
Semicircular digital scale of instruments is created bythe image and the similarity used in the "Formula-1": at the moment when the ignition is turned off, the scale of the instruments is a dark space, but illuminated by a bright orange light, as soon as the ignition key turns.
Tachometer is marked up to 10,000 rpm, while the red zoneis in the sector from 9000 to 10,000 rpm, and every S2000 owner knows what happens when these indicators are reached. Under the juicy sound of a sports car, the lightweight body rushes to where the driver's thoughts are directed, and often the laws of physics are powerless before the accuracy of the reactions and tenacious grip of the tires of the unique roadster.
Unfortunately, on August 7, 2009 at theproduction line of the Takumi Dream factory in Suzuka the assembly of the legendary Honda S2000 was solemnly completed. Today's technology and environmental requirements dictate new rules for motorsport enthusiasts, and the world leader in innovation meets new successes, using a new approach to the development of power plants.
In 2010, we say goodbye to one of the best in the history of atmospheric engines Honda S2000 and are preparing to meet a more economical and environmentally friendly hybrid option - already on the new model, the sports car CR-Z.
