New 2009 Honda S2000

Vehicle Overview
Honda's high-performance S2000 two-seat roadster has gone almost 10 years without a complete redesign. Honda spiced things up last year, however, with a new track-ready package called the S2000 CR. CR stands for "club racer," and the trim continues into 2009. The S2000 competes with other two-seat roadsters, including the Pontiac Solstice GXP, BMW Z4 and Audi TT.

New for 2009
There are no significant changes for 2009.

Exterior
The S2000 has a wedge-shaped profile that stands apart from other roadsters. It's built on a 94.5-inch wheelbase and measures 162.7 inches long overall.   Standard features include: high-intensity-discharge headlamps, 17-inch alloy wheels, power-operated top has glass rear window with defroster, molded top cover included; body-colored hardtop available, integrated roll bars sit behind the seats and a clear acrylic wind deflector mounts between the bars and helps reduce turbulence.
 
Interior
The S2000 two-seater comes equipped with body-hugging, leather-trimmed bucket seats. The range of driving positions is limited because the steering wheel doesn't adjust and the seats must be positioned manually. Storage space is at a premium; there's a tiny bin between the seats, and the trunk has just 5 cubic feet of cargo capacity.  Interior amenities include: net door-panel storage pockets, aluminum and leather shift knob, aluminum pedals and aluminum-accented footrest and silver trim accents and XM Satellite Radio and headrest speakers are available.
 
Under the Hood
Honda's high-revving four-cylinder redlines near 8,000 rpm.  A 237-hp, 2.2-liter four-cylinder engine with 162 pounds-feet of torque is mated to a six-speed manual transmission and has 49/51 weight distribution.
 
Safety
Safety features include: all-disc antilock brakes with brake assist, dual front airbags; no side-impact airbags and an electronic stability system.
