2009 Honda S2000 Ultimate Edition

The recently killed Honda S2000 and the Honda Beat 600cc minicar of 1991 may make a comeback… mixed into one model. Sources say that Honda is working on ‘molding’ the two models together to create a sport roadster. The model will be built on a modified Honda Fit model and will get a rear mid-engined layout.

Whether the ‘mid-engine’ layout means hybrid or a full electric-vehicle is still unclear. The model is seen as a competitor to Toyota’s upcoming plans to produce a car based on the Toyota GRMN Sports Hybrid Concept. Of course, we hope that the model is a true 4-cylinder turbo, but we’ll have to wait and see.

Insiders say that the car is currently in the planning phase and may not be on the road before 2014.

    Considering what Honda has been doing lately, this seems unlikely. If true, I hope it's for Acura.
