Tokyo Show: 2008 Honda S2000 Type-S
Honda will show-off a limited edition version of the S2000 roadster at this year’s Tokyo Show. The S2000 Type S is the Japanese market twin of the S2000 Club Racer that’s sold in the States. Like the CS, the Type S features an aerodynamic package, aggressive suspension settings and increased body and chassis rigidity.However, while the S2000 CS is offered exclusively with a removable aluminium hardtop, the Type S retains the basic version’s soft-top. We’ve included a translated version of the Japanese press release that you can try to read after the jump –that is, if you don’t have anything else better to do.
