Honda has released images of its S2000 Type-S ahead of the car’s Tokyo Motor Show debut. Based on the standard S2000, the Type-S is very similar to the S2000 CR offered in the United States, but features a folding convertible top instead of an aluminum hardtop as well as a new rear wing.
Compared to a standard S2000, the Type-S will offer a stiffer suspension, increased rigidity, reduced weight and a unique aero kit. Honda hails the S2000 Type-S as the “closest thing you can get to a Honda-built racecar with license plate holders and a horn.â€
The S2000 Type-S’ engine will be the same as found in U.S.-spec cars –rated at 237 horsepower — and will be mated to a six-speed manual.
