Honda S2000 (Motorbooks Colortech.)

With its 2.0-liter, naturally aspirated engine delivering an astounding 240-horsepower, the Honda S2000 more than lives up to the groundswell of publicity it generated on the 1999 auto show circuit-it gives the BMW Z3 and Porsche Boxster a run for their deutschmarks. This exclusive, blow-by-blow account follows the design, testing, and development of the two-seat S2000, from the first conceptual drawings and the prototypes unveiled in 1995 to the promotional campaigns and production models that hit U.S. streets in late 1999. Lavish color photography and never-before-published images from Honda bring to life the evolution of a stunning new, limited production sports car and a dynamic period in the company's history.
