The latest reports out of Japan could spell bad news for Honda S2000 enthusiasts the world past. According the Best Car, the rear-wheel oblige roadster’s replacement inclination likely ditch Honda’s high-revving F20C in favor of the second-generation hybrid drivetrain slated to be fitted to the Accord, and further, the gasoline-electric mill will be driving the front wheels.
Although we’ve been hearing rumors about the S2000′s successor for a few years, Honda hasn’t if any indication about if and where the new model is headed. Best Car contends that the fresh interchangeable – likely to be fitted with a retractable hard-top – decision slot in above the all-new Honda CR-Z due to debut in production cast at this year’s Tokyo Motor Show. If that’s the case, we fancy the next S2000 will be marketed as more of a boulevard cruiser than a back-road bomber, and that could mean that it might be sold as an Acura if it arrives in the States at all. If it does set on shore hither badged as a Honda, might we suggest calling it Del Sol instead?
