The Honda S2000 Ultimate Edition comes after this week's announcement of the company that it will stop the production of this model. The Honda S2000 Ultimate Edition will go on sale in Europe in March and will be powered by the same 2.0 liter 9000 rpm VTEC engine developing 240PS. The Honda S2000 Ultimate Edition comes with a Grand Prix White body, graphite colored alloy wheels and black badging. The interior of the Honda S2000 Ultimate Edition features red leather and stitching and unique numbered plaques on the kickplates.
The Honda S2000 Ultimate Edition price has not been announced yet, but the company says it will be premiered at the Geneva Motor Show.
Honda Press Release:
Honda has announced that the Honda S2000 Ultimate Edition will go on sale from March 2009 in Europe. This limited edition has been produced to mark the end of production for the award winning sports car.
The Ultimate Edition retains its highly acclaimed 2.0 liter 9000 rpm VTEC engine and combines it
with a Grand Prix White body and graphite colored alloy wheels. The shade of the paint evokes the color first used on Honda's 1964 F1 car and many sporting models since. The exterior color combination with the dark metal alloy wheels and unique black S2000 badging gives a fresh look to the timeless shape of the roadster body.
The white exterior will be matched with a red leather interior and complimented by unique red coloring for stitching on the gear lever gaiter. Ultimate Editions will be marked out by their unique numbered plaques on the kickplates, denoting their position in the series.
The 2-seater sports car may now be almost 10-years old, but its 240PS 2-litre is still one of the highest output per liter and highest revving engines ever made. In recognition of its incredible power output, the Honda S2000's engine has won the International Engine of the Year category for 1.8 to 2.2 liter engines five times in its lifetime.
As the name suggests, the Honda S2000 Ultimate Edition will be the last version before global production of the model ceases altogether at the end of June 2009. Since the introduction of the
Honda S2000 in 1999 until the end of 2008, Honda has sold 110,673 units worldwide - 19,987 of those in Europe.
The first viewing of the Ultimate Edition will be the 2009 Geneva International Motor Show starting with the press day on the 3rd March.
