Engineering Meets Artistry

Every line and curve of the S2000 was sculpted for both performance and beauty. The long hood, short deck, and cockpit-forward stance create a silhouette that’s as functional as it is elegant.

Inside, the minimalist interior puts the driver front and center, with controls designed for intuitive use. The S2000’s design is a perfect balance of form and function, built to enhance the connection between car and driver.

The original S2000 arrived with a 2.0L F20C engine producing 240 hp and a screaming 9,000 rpm redline, one of the highest for any production car. Paired with a lightweight chassis, and a near-perfect 50:50 weight distribution, the AP1 delivered a raw, track-ready experience straight from the showroom.

The AP2 refined the formula. The engine was updated to a 2.2L F22C1 in North America, offering more torque and a lower 8,200 rpm redline for improved drivability. Suspension geometry was revised for better stability, and subtle design tweaks gave the car a more mature, planted feel without losing its edge.
