A two-seat roadster, the Honda S2000 paid homage to the S500, S600 and S800 roadsters sold during the 1960s.

In 2008, the Honda S2000 line-up is expanded with the addition of the CR or Club Racer package. The 2008 S2000CR came equipped with aerodynamic modifications for better high-speed downforce and reduced the overall weight of the roadster by about 90 pounds.
