S2200 on the way!

**wynode** · 18-08-2003 11:47 PM

Looks like Honda will be releasing a sucessor to the S2000. The new S2200 will feature a 2.2L i-VTEC engine making around 185kW and should weigh in at under 1300kgs (well thats the goal of the Honda engineers). Torque is expected to be around 235Nm.

It will be a hard top, however, dispite the extra weight it is destined to be quicker than the S2000!!

First public appearance is planned for January's Detroit Motor Show and I have also heard that peak power and redline will be lower than on the S2000.

Anyways, here's a pic curtesy of http://www.prelude-fan.de

glad they didnt alter the rear of the s2000, i absolutly love it.. its like a cross mx-5 and rx7 (s6-7), awsome stuff..

Im not feeling that hard top

I don't know.......it looks kinda OK.

Its good to see they ketp that good shape (unlike what they did to the civics!)

Should be a ripper!

it's not the looks that bother me, it's only the 9kw increase that bothers me

Its meant to be a bit more torquier with more power earlier.

Don't know how that will show with the weight factor increase though.

looks ok!! recon the price would be like 80k up??

**Dxs** · 25-08-2003 02:45 PM

looks like it is meant to be an rx8 contender

i have also liked/loved the s2k.
not a huge fan of >2 litre engines though.
I just how this thing has a huge compression ratio and high redline (thats what hondas are all about :twisted: )

Probably more power will be able to be extracted from it too, would love a spoon modified one

yeh i agree, looks a little like the rx8, although the s2k did come out first =) i'd like to see the boot be expanded a little tho... seems a bit compacted to me... but yeh, overall looks good.
