More Rendered Speculation on Honda S2000's High Performance Hybrid Coupe Successor

|

Truth to be said, we've lost track of the number of inside stories and rendered scoops concerning Honda's rumored, but never officially confirmed, S2000 successor that have made their way on the internet from various Japanese magazines the past year or so.

We've no idea if Best Car's latest story on a high-performance hybrid sports coupe that would essentially replace the S2000 is based on facts or fiction, but the Japanese magazine is once again claiming that Honda is working on what could be best described as the CR-Z's big brother.

Aside from the new rendering that has nothing in common with the magazine's previous S2000 CGI, Best Car this time says that the sports model will be a 2+2 coupe with a hybrid powertrain combining a 2.5- or 3.0-liter engine to an electric motor.

No word if power will be transferred to the rear axle or as previously claimed, to all four wheels.

Yes they will make it with a n/a 2.0lt rwd to compete with toyo's FT86. Can't let Toyota have all the fun now.

Woah woah woah... more leaks please.. but it doesn't have the sharp edginess of Honda. More of a Hyundai influence, anyways can't wait to see more of this.

Looks like Honda realizes they need to compete with the upcoming Toyota FT-86 coupe.

^yeah, on an unsafe car that isn't even built yet by a corporation that wouldn't know what 'affordable fun' is even if they were a teenaged prostitute.

Please no. As an owner of an S2000 - seeing it jump up to a lardy 2+2, all wheel drive coupe is just hideous. Sure make the car, love the car - but certainly dont call it a sucessor of the S2000 - anything other than a lightweight RW Drive convertible just isnt that in my opinion...
