The S2000 returns for its third model year with many revisions. A glass rear window equipped with a defroster is now standard. Other improvements include an enhanced transmission with smoother shifting, an upgraded stereo system with a theft device, and a host of interior refinements. Aluminum accents have been added to the pedals and footrest, while a new aluminum/leather shift knob has been equipped. Two new exterior colors are also available, Suzuka Blue and Sebring Silver. As before, a VTEC 2.0L engine producing 240 horsepower and 153 ft-lb of torque powers the S2000. This 16-vavle, DOHC engine is coupled to a six-speed manual transmission. Lightweight aluminum alloy wheels and a push button engine starter are also standard.
