Vehicle Description
A level above a traditional two-seat roadster, Honda's S2000 was
the company's first sports car and halo car. The seller purchased
this S2000 in March 2020 and has added approximately 18,000 miles
since.
Made in Honda's Takanezawa factory in April 2003, in Tochigi,
Japan, this roadster is decked out in Grand Prix White (code
NH-565), a desirable hue. It's one of 7,888 examples that were
exported to the United States that year out of 11,088 cars
worldwide. The droptop's paint and trim are in overall very good
order but at close range, there are some minor blemishes visible.
The contrasting aftermarket black power-folding vinyl top is in
great shape, complete with glass rear window. The top has an
internal cloth lining. The engine bay is clean and the rear cargo
compartment is clean and deep while the body-colored bumpers fit
tightly.
The S2000 was introduced for the 2000 model year; its model
designation also references the engine's 2000 cc displacement. The
car also boasted 50/50 weight distribution and
independently-sprung, double-wishbone suspension at each
corner.
This roadster rolls on mixed radials - Continental Extreme Control
tires in front, size 205/55R16, and Advanta EX-700 tires in back,
size 225/50R16. All of them are mounted to Sport Tuning six-spoke
wheels. The wheels and tires are all in very good order.
Driver convenience features include: air-conditioning, cruise
control, a digital instrument cluster, power rack-and-pinion
steering, power four-wheel disc brakes, remote trunk release,
maplights and pushbutton start. Safety equipment included:
High-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps, dual front airbags,
anti-lock brakes, rear window defroster and integrated roll hoops.
We have receipts in hand totaling over $5,000.00 for work
preformed, most by Ed Napleton Honda.
Under the hood is Honda's 2.0L 16-valve, DOHC four-cylinder engine
with VTEC and its per-liter output was the highest of any naturally
aspirated regular-production car at that time. The compact and
lightweight engine, mounted entirely behind the front axle, allow
the S2000 to achieve a 50:50 front/rear weight distribution and
lower rotational inertia. Backing this motor is a six-speed manual
transmission and a 4.10:1 rear end with limited-slip differential.
The S2000 achieved what Honda claimed as the highest specific
output of a normally aspirated production automobile engine in the
world. The most powerful version; the JDM F20C was rated at 247
horsepower or 123 horsepower per liter as a result of a 11.7:1
compression ratio. The attached Carfax history report shows that

Inside, is a very cozy cockpit upholstered in black and tan. The
black bucket seats look great, as does the contrasting carpeting
and floormats (note the generous deadpedal on the driver's left
floor). The car's dashboard got similar digital design to late
80s-early 90s McLaren-Honda Formula-1 racing cars as a reference to
the racing pedigree of high rev line and output Honda engines. The
dash is in very good order, as is the three-spoke steering wheel
with its fat rim and satellite controls. The center console looks
great with the gearshifter and handbrake while just ahead of the
shifter is a JVC AM/FM stereo with CD player, Bluetooth and door to
hide stereo from sight. The car's inner door panels, done in black
and tan, look great.
Convertible competition to this Honda in 2003 included Acura's own
NSX Targa, Audi's TT, BMW's Z4, Chevrolet's Corvette, Lexus' SC
430, Mercedes-Benz's SLK 320, Mitsubishi's Eclipse Spyder GTS,
Nissan's 350ZX and Porsche's Boxster.
