Advanced Technologies Used in the S2000 

• Hybrid monocoque body and "high X-bone frame" has torsional and bending rigidity of closed-top vehicle, without excess weight.
 
• Highly compact, 2.0-liter, DOHC VTEC engine produces 240 hp and 153 lb.-ft. of torque (highest specific output of any normally aspirated production engine in the world).
 
• Newly developed, compact DOHC VTEC variable valve-timing system . Coaxial, roller-bearing cam followers.
 
• Lightweight, powdered-metal, injection-molded, sintered steel-alloy cam followers.
 
• Electric Power Steering system (EPS) . Race-car-type digital instrument panel . High-efficiency, low-back pressure, metallic-honeycomb catalyst.
 
• In-wheel, 4-wheel double wishbone suspension system.
 
• Impact-absorbing body and frame designed to help protect the driver and passenger in full-frontal, offset-frontal, side and rear impacts.
 
• Newly developed 6-speed, close-ratio transmission.
 
• Forged-alloy pistons.
 
• Heat-treated, carburized forged-steel crankshaft and connecting rods .
 
• Nut-less connecting rods.
 
• High-intensity discharge (HID) projector headlights.
 
• Torque-sensing limited-slip differential.
 
• Long-wearing FRM (Fiber-Reinforced Metal) cylinder liners.
 
• Compact "in-wheel" double wishbone suspension system.
 
• Engine meets Low-Emission Vehicle (LEV) standards.
