I always wanted one of these since I was about 16. Nearly 10 years later I finally bought one. A black AP2 with only 16,000 miles. I can't stop driving it; Honda did something very special with this car
Love the s2000 my father had two, I was too young to drive when he had the first one but he let me drive the second one when I was 21, such a great car to drive. These will be worth a fortune in the future.
For those who are confused about the 9,000 rpm mention in this ap2. The s2000s in Europe still kept the rev up to 9,000 rpm. Only in the US was it limited to 8,000
UK S2000 Owners Club you are completely correct. even here in South Africa we got AP1. Mine is an '01 pre face-lift. even after face-lift in '04 they were all still AP1. only USA and Japan got actual AP2's with F22's and their heavier flywheels
what do i have to do to get one of these... evenb after working my back to bits i wouldn't be able to afford one of these. would cost me a house perhaps... ( 3rd world country citizen here )
If it's true, its probably that the F1 car has a much shorter stroke than the f20c, which will equate to a slower piston speed at the same given rpm. Whether it would have half the stroke of the s2000 though, I don't know
good car have only ever seen 1 in my island and it was in a music video, I would click the like button if i wasn't using it for bookmarking purposes. this is a cool car. It should be affordable if the owner ever decides to sell it. I like how the start button work, I wonder if it will ever stick like the like (heart) button in my browser window, imagine u sit in the car & it just starts by itself & u press the button frantically trying to undo it. how do u turn it off, I think i know
If only Honda would make a relatively affordable lightweight RWD sportscar with a naturally aspirated high revving engine. Not like the complex, heavy and disconnected-feeling-to-drive new NSX.
+69mrbrightside691 Even if the ethos of the NSX is to use cutting-edge tech (hence the name New Sportscar eXperience), they really could have made the car lighter without the complex AWD and hybrid motors. If they wanted to use cutting-edge tech, they should have invested money to engineering a lightweight carbon tub instead and keeping it RWD. What made the NA1/NA2 NSX-R so appealing was its honesty/rawness with lack of driving aids. We'll have to wait and see if the next generation NSX-R proves that Honda can still make a proper driver's car. To compete with its rivals (e.g. 911 Turbo, 570s, R8 plus, Huracan, 488 etc), I guess they would need to use a twinturbo V6 engine or even better, a naturally aspirated V10 or V12.

The S2000 will "shine for long" and it will never be defeated nor forgotten.

A trip down memory lane for this Honda fan. Well done!

Love the s2000.

Because American are fat and need extra torque
The Edition 100 is NOT an AP2 - the UK never got AP2, they are ALL AP1, look at the VIN Plate.
are you guys kidding?

They are not. The facelift does not make it an AP2. The AP2 chassis code was given to cars with the F22C
It's an AP1 Mk2 to be precise. Only North Am got the AP2, and it's bad for them :)
leborde AP2 is not solely US, they were sold in Japan too
Long live the legend that is the S2K! Thanks for the video!
more of these videos please! I would love to see all of the collection! that includes the DC5! 🇯🇵
Wish the states would've got this remarkable beast
that's a cool S2000 and that dude looks like Obi wan kenobi. awesome!
Quite a good video apart from the major error calling it an AP2 when it's in fact an AP1.
Where’s the next instalment please? I want to see more cars from the Heritage collection.
Super ! We wanna see the Legend 3.7 KB2 next time ;)
Amazing! Cannot wait for more videos.
I wish I could experience that...
Im ten but when i grow up i want one of the 2010 s2000
thanks for review a car most of us cant get :(
great watch
Really cool！！！！
F20C2.. :) not F22C which is AP2
what do i have to do to get one of these... evenb after working my back to bits i wouldn't be able to afford one of these. would cost me a house perhaps... ( 3rd world country citizen here )
0-60 in 6.2 seconds? I've seen early ones with times of 5.6, did the car get slower as it was tweaked?
yeah that's why they need that extra torque and a stronger rear differential
He said 0-62, makes all the difference!
I want to buy this
Wished they sold the US only Club Racer, but then the infamous UK weather
Ap2 doesnt go to 9000rev.
You're now confusing me
I own a facelift 2005. The vin is ap1
I thought the white used in Honda's 1960s F1 car was Championship White, not Grand Prix White? Someone please confirm.
PuffinDragun69 yea champion white
paint code NH-0
is that piston speed thing of an F1 engine at 9000 rpm or at max rpm of the F1 engine? cause early 2000's F1 engines rev'd to 17,000 rpm or so.
If it's true, its probably that the F1 car has a much shorter stroke than the f20c, which will equate to a slower piston speed at the same given rpm. Whether it would have half the stroke of the s2000 though, I don't know
Great to know that George Michael now does car reviews too! Lol

smilepermile they make lots... they just keep them in Japan..
What car are you talking about? The S2000 was axed by 2009
There's the JDM only S660
+Mr. Hobby it doesn't have a naturally aspirated high revving engine compared to the AP1 S2000
Wow! what an experts are commenting here! :D
AP2 is 2.2 not 2.0 and only AP1 has 9k REV not AP2
It looks like someone removed the black tape from the windshield frame. Yuck.
"Prices start from around 6000 pounds" - yeah right, have you even looked it up mate, not a single one under 10k.
What are you talking about? 49 S2000s on Autotrader under £10k at the minute
There 18 on ebay right now under 10k,starting at £5,150.
Yes and they have been engine swapped for civic 1.5s, written off 5 or 6 times, the springs cut, and the ECU remapped by a pikey with a hammer
George Micheal is alive and drives an s2000!
It's an AP1 IF IT IS A UK CAR!
Check the VIN number 😊
No YOU would be mad not to make a new one.
In here after watching shinchan
#FAIL!! It's an AP1... *face palm*
"The S2000 it the best car ever ma.. oh look, there goes a Lotus Elise....."
