Honda S2000 Successor - 7Tune

A little while back Japan’s Best Car Magazine reported that Honda is working on an AWD (Honda’s Super Handling All-Wheel-Drive system) successor to the S2000 that will be powered by a powerful 4-cylinder engine mated to a hybrid system similar to the one found on the Honda Insight.

In its latest report, Best Car says that the S2000 successor will be offered with a front-wheel-drive option only and a hybrid driveline. The model will be a step above the upcoming Honda CR-Z hybrid due out next year and will feature a retractable hardtop.

Look out for the S2000 successor sometime in early 2012.

Until we have other solid details, we’re going to have to file this under rumors.

    So basically not an S200 successor, but a sportier Insight.

    This is the format that the Greens have in mind for the Corvette.

    If this is true, this will be the death of a decent sports car.

    Hmmm return to FWD, that will have all the gearheads excited! A sportscar with severe understeer coupled with torque steer...sounds like a winning formula

    Sounds more like the return of the Prelude. I see alot of design ques from other makers in that car pictured.
