The new sports car — whatever its name — is expected to arrive in 2009 along with the next NSX supercar. Shiraishi hinted the successor would have to offer a paddle-shift gearbox to broaden the appeal. He said the car’s manual gearbox was a turn-off to many potential buyers.
In October 2005, Honda’s Motoatsu Shiraishi admitted the “S2000 has not been a success for us.” He suggested a different approach would be taken for the car’s replacement. Although it will remain a puristic roadster at heart, the S3000 will be a little less stripped-down. Not a lot else is known about the vehicle, but Honda is definitely trying to make it more competitive in terms of styling and comfort. Despite the dramatic new styling, however, the new “S” will stay true to its predecessor’s lightweight construction and tight proportions.
As shown by our artist’s illustrations, the S3000 wold borrow design cues from the OSM (Open Study Model) and CR-Z concept cars. But rumors are beginning to circulate about a possible S2000 successor, tentatively named S3000. With so much attention focused on Honda’s next-generation NSX, it’s no surprise the future of the S2000 has been a topic largely ignored in automotive circles.
