2011 Honda S2000

The 2011 Honda S2000 is equipped with 2.2L engine that has a higher compression ratio and produces the same amount of horsepower as the old 2.0L, but the power peaks at a slightly lower rpm. Also it has slightly increased torque figure, and is available lower in the rev range. A 6-speed manual transmission provides lower gear ratios on gears one through five, and a higher sixth speed gear for highway cruising. The compact transmission features a direct shift linkage with class-leading feel and short throws. Regardless of traction conditions, a Torsen limited-slip differential smoothly delivers power to the rear wheels. The car still needs to be revved hard to get any acceleration out of it

The body and frame of The 2011 Honda S2000 is a hybrid monocoque-frame structure that forms a rigid, flex-free platform for the S2000's double wishbone suspension system. This helps the S2000 achieve its high level of safety protection, given that it's a convertible. An anti-lock braking system is standard.

The 2011 Honda S2000 retains its Boxster-chasing handling still aided by the same chassis that has an ideal almost-50/50 weight distribution. The power steering system is a electrically assisted type. Larger rear 245/40 91W and front 215/45 87W tires are mounted on 17-inch alloy wheels. Also 11-inch brake discs provide excellent stopping power and brake feel. Brake pad material improves the pedal feel and resists fading in high performance driving. On a racetrack, the revised suspension, bigger tires and slightly better brakes let a driver push the new S2000 deeper into corners while the richer torque curve is more forgiving of gear selection screwups coming out of them.

The 2011 Honda S2000 is built on an extremely rigid chassis. A stiff chassis is the basic prerequisite for precise handling, because it allows suspension engineers to tune spring rates, shock absorber damping. Also bushing durometers to achieve exactly what they want in terms of ride and response. Suspension components can do a better job when they aren't called upon to compensate for chassis flex. Between 1,000 rpm to 8,000 rpm available torque and horsepower are consistently up between 4 and 10 percent. There's even some real heft as low as 3,000 rpm.

Puttering from mall to work to home, the 2.2-liter engine is far friendlier than the 2.0-liter and yet retains most of its eagerness to leap for the redline. The 2011 2011 Honda S2000 VTEC system's operation seems a bit less abrupt in the revised 2.2, but the engine still snarls as it reaches the juicy center of its power band at around 6,000 rpm.

The interior of 2011 Honda S2000 consists of aluminum leather-wrapped shift knob and lever, F1-inspired digital instrument display and separate engine-start button serve as a reminder of the racing heritage of the S2000.

A set of world-class brakes complements the S2000's speed and agility, These are the best brakes, and they round out a set of sports car credentials that's tough to top.
