    Jön még egy Type-R az S2000-ből, mielőtt kivonják?

    Apparently Best Car has reason to believe that Honda is revisiting
    this Type R proposal for the final model change for the S2000. They
    call it the "lightweight package" and it will follow the Type R
    proposal's target of 100kg weight reduction, bringing the car from
    1250kg to 1150kg, changing the power to weight ratio from 5.16kg/ps
    to 4.75kg/ps. This should provide performance at turbo levels but
    with the direct feel of natural aspiration.

    The S2000 Type R model year 2004 proposal (official document from
    Honda) consisted of:
    -target of 100kg weight reduction
    -balanced engine internals (Type R treatment)
    -Type R exclusive interior
    -air conditioning becomes a factory option
    -SRS air bag becomes a factory option
    -sound deadening material deleted
    -front tire: 205/55R16 to 205/45R17 (implemented on AP2)
    -rear tire: 225/50R16 to 245/40R17 (implemented on AP2)
    -Type R exclusive suspension tuning
    -Type R exclusive uprated brakes
    -Type R exclusive body color(s)
    -spare tire deleted
    -mechanical LSD
    -power soft top deleted
    -lightweight carbon hard top
    -audio becomes factory option

    The S2000 is expected to be discontinued before March 2008, so the
    lightweight package should be sold sometime between now and then.
