Let’s file this one under believe it when we see it. Rumors swirling around the interwebs say all is not lost for our beloved S2000. AllCarsElectric says the company is currently working on the delicious roadster’s replacement, powered by a 3.5-liter V6 (think OG NSX). If you think a six-pot S2k is a whole new [...]

The guys from 318 Racing are after my own heart. They’ve taken my personal favorite roadster and plopped a T1 race development mill behind the lights with a massive Borg Warner S372R turbo and 1,000 cc Bosch injectors. What’s all that add up to? A blistering 701 wheel-horsepower. What’s more, the T1 crew routed the [...]

The story goes that even though everyone is now poor, Japanese car makers are going to rolling out some pretty hot (and pricey) metal in the upcoming years. Let’s just get to the most ridiculous part first — a Nissan GT-R SUV. Why? To compete with the Porsche Cayenne, of course. At least so says [...]

A couple of dominant themes have already reared their ugly heads at this year’s Detroit Auto Show. First and foremost, the gloomy economic conditions and the resultant (near total lack of) auto sales have factored into everyone’s speeches — even sales-record VW Group. Next in line? None other than Captain Planet’s fleet of green machines. [...]

Just yesterday word hit the Web that Honda will more than likely axe the S2000 this year. I’m still in mourning. To make matters worse, the company has let slip a few shots of its entrants for the 2009 Tokyo Auto Salon. What does HoMoCo have to show off? None other than a gussied-up S2k, [...]

Fiends, it pains me more than you can know to say this, but Honda has cancelled the S2000 replacement, V8 and RWD plans. This is just something we’re all going to have to accept. That means this year will be the very last for my personal favorite hoon machine. It also means there will be [...]

A keen eyed Fiend out there noticed a blatant slip-up on my part. If you’ve been hanging around the site for awhile, you might remember my love note to the 2007 Honda S2000. Reader Dang pointed out that Honda’s roadster was originally powered by a 2.0-liter four cylinder, not a 2.2 as I stated here. [...]

Yeah, yeah, the British Motor Show seems like it was about five years ago, but we couldn’t help but point this little beggar out. It’s Honda’s Open Study Model, or OSM. A convertible two-seater, there are no specifics on powertrain due to the fact that the car is just a design study. We can’t help [...]

To be fair, I’m a Hondaphile. I’ve even got an old-school 70’s “Honda #1” belt buckle. I’m also a sports car purist, thriving on Chapmanian ideals like low weight, bare bones performance and physical suffering in exchange for a second off of your lap time, so Honda’s S2000 would seem to be right up my [...]

Back in the day, there were only a handful of tire manufacturers on the block. If you were a red-blooded American with anything that put power to the pavement, you likely ran the same thing the boys at NASCAR ran—something with a winged foot on the sidewall. These days there are more tire brands on [...]
