See more Honda S2000 concept pics
After 10 years of production, Honda is killing off the S2000 this summer. Boo.
With plans for a successor looking dodgier than an MP's floating duck island expenses claim, it's left to the good citizens of the interweb to dream up what a new Honda S2000 might look like.
And they don't come much more goodly or citizenly than Lars Martensson, the
computer game renderer who goes by the name of 'Grid'. Last week, we showed you
Mr Martensson's most excellent Subaru STI coupe-thing, and now here's his take
on an S2000 for the 21st-and-a-bit century.
What do you reckon? We're guessing that, like the Subaru, this one will divide
you firmly into the ‘lovers' and ‘deeply vitriolic haters' camp - we like that
Lancer-style nose and the rear end, but those side-blade things are a bit much
for our liking. Overall, though, surely there's enough here to get the guys at
Honda thinking, "Hmm, y'know... there's something in this..."
Martensson hasn't speculated on what might be found under the bonnet, so we'll
leave it up to you to decide. Would you prefer the same mad, high-revving VTEC
approach as the outgoing S2000, or some sort of techy turbo-supercharged
arrangement?

Looks like a nissan gtr at the front. Not that thats a bad thing, because it looks lovely. The colour scheme looks immense, with the darker graphite wheels. But what Honda need to do if they ever make a new S2000 is not waste so much space under the bonnet, because theres loads! and they put something that could have been much more powerful in there. C'mon honda! I want to see a 3.2 in this thing!

agreed with Lloydy, it's a Nissan GTR at the front, S2000 at the back, And a touch of SLR McLaren with those side gills.

Looks like a group of people couldn't agree on an idea, and all sneaked an idea in by the back door.
