Honda releases very limited S2000 RJ in Europe

The S2000 soldiers on as Honda's hottest whip with nary a significant nip/tuck or overhaul since it was introduced over seven years ago. It's inevitable demise is in the cards, but Honda's still proud of its little 2.0-liter terror and there's at least one more special edition planned before it goes. The S2000 RJ celebrates Honda's history in F1 racing, and as such features the signatures of Rubens Barrichello and Jenson Button, Honda Racing's pair of F1 drivers, on the audio head-unit's flip down lid. Apparently Honda thinks the S2000 is already F1 enough, so no changes were made to the car's actual performance hardware. Instead we get Pearly White Premium paint as an exclusive paint color and a red and black interior. An Alex Zanardi NSX this is not. Regardless, Honda will only be producing 50 copies of the S2000 RJ (just like the Alex Zanardi NSX), all of which will be sold in just France, Italy and Spain for quite a premium.

So wait, its got two signatures, a white paint job and a red/black interior - and its a special edition? Honda needs to learn from Nissan on how to do a special edition (GTR Nur anyone?).

The Z Tune was Nismo ; not an in-haus performance upgrade from Nissan.

And would you like to buy a 2nd hand 5yr old car for a brand new price?

Honda have released a car similar/better than Diez' s2, its called the s2k CR. It looks like this and already track ready.

Personal opinion is welcome, howver, Diez's car SHITS all over the CR.

You do know all the parts on Diezs car don't you?

I'm talking Amuse CF S2000 roof, doors, guards, etc. The car is modern day driving art. The CR is an ugly so & so.

the CR looks stupid. But thats my opinion, Diez's car looks balanced and means business.

I think you get the award for bring the most clueless person around here!!

Diez's s2000 is just every ASM/Amuse DRY CF part you can think of! The doors, boot, hood are dry CF, Amuse BBK, Amuse front bar, Amuse coils (Or something similarly high end) etc...Front fenders were cut & extended out and then repainted again to make it all look OEM, 17x9.5 ce28ns +47 all around 255/40/18 a048 all around and all genuine parts!

The CR is just a s2000 with hard top, no soft top, no radio etc. etc. It's a weak ass effort as a special "club racer" edition.

Spoon coils :D. And one bloody rare and expensive Axel exhaust and Diffuser... OMG!!!!!!!!

People question why you spend so much money on jdm bling Diez is the answer.
There are afew s2000's around that run a similar setup too his car, Amuse front ce28's slammed, mugen/oem hardtop.
But none gives the aura of quality and perfection you see in diez's car. You don't even have to know the parts yet when you see it, it just stands out. Defiantly one of my favorite s2000's around. Too bad his just a hard parker :P.
He should pass it over true jono, show him what it can do rofl.

I hope they release something along the same lines as the s2000 as well!!!
