Honda is planning to revive the famous S2000 roadster, according to fresh reports by the British media.
The S2000, famous for its powerful and high-revving naturally-aspirated engine, was killed off in 2009. However, Honda now reportedly wants to reintroduce the model by the year 2017 and with a four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine taken from the upcoming Civic Type R, which will develop around 350 horsepower.
The same sources suggest that McLaren, Honda’s soon-to-be Formula 1 partner, will help develop a Hybrid powertrain for the small roadster in order to improve power and fuel efficiency.
