About S2000
A real open-top sports car that cuts through the wind! The Honda S2000
The S2000 is a special 2-seater open-top sports car made by Honda to celebrate its 50th anniversary. You can open the roof, feel the wind, and drive just like a racing car! With a "front mid-engine" design that puts the engine closer to the middle of the body, and a special frame structure, you can drive through curvy roads just the way you want. The "S" is a special name passed down through Honda's traditional sports cars.
Past models and how it grew
The S2000 was made for 10 years, from 1999 to 2009, and its inside and look got better step by step. There are different models with different engine sizes and driving feelings.
- Early Model (AP1, 2.0L): The first model that came out in 1999. Its main feature is an engine that revs super high up to 9,000 RPM, just like a racing car!
- Type V: A model that came out in 2000. It had "VGS," the world's first system that changes how much the steering wheel turns based on your speed.
- Late Model (AP2, 2.2L): A model that came out in 2005. The engine size grew to 2.2L, making it easier to drive with strong power even at lower engine speeds.
- Type S: The final model from 2007, made for the best driving experience. It has special aero parts that keep the car steady even when driving fast.
Secrets of its speed
The S2000 is packed with technology to make it drive fast and safe like a real sports car.
- Super High-Rev VTEC Engine: The built-in F20C engine is an amazing engine that gave 250 horsepower, which was world-class for a 2.0L regular engine back then!
- High X-Bone Frame: It uses a strong "X" shaped frame at the bottom of the car. Even without a roof, it is just as strong and sturdy as a sports car with a roof.
- 6-Speed Manual Transmission: It uses a special 6-speed manual gear where you shift gears with your own hand and feet, giving you a smooth and nice feeling when you shift.
- Digital Meter: In the driver's seat, there is a cool, modern orange digital meter like a formula car!
Feel the open air
The best part of the S2000 is the electric soft top (a cloth roof) that you can open and close easily with a switch. If you open the roof under the big sky, you can enjoy the wind and engine sounds with your whole body! Also, a removable metal hardtop was available, too.
How to Color S2000
How to Choose Your Colors
When you color your S2000 coloring page, make it your very own cool open-top sports car!
- Car Body Colors: Honda has lots of great colors! You can choose traditional Championship White, bright New Indy Yellow Pearl, passionate New Formula Red, or cool Berlina Black.
- Roof (Soft Top): If you draw the car with the roof closed, try coloring it in classic black or sporty red.
- Seats and Interior: With the roof open, you can see the seats inside! Color them red, black, yellow, or fancy brown to make it look just like a real car.
- Wheels: Shiny wheels make the car look awesome. We recommend silver, black, or gunmetal (dark gray) for sporty models like the Type S.
Show the Wind and Sun!
Use your coloring page to show the fast, open feeling of a convertible car!
- Shiny Car Body: Leave some white spots on the curved parts and the hood where the light hits. This makes the car look super shiny!
- 3D Interior: Color shady spots on the seats and floor with a slightly darker color. This makes the inside of the car look deep and real.
Try Fun Ideas for the Background
Imagine where your S2000 is driving and draw the background! Is it on a drive by the ocean, a sunny beach road, a green mountain pass, or a racing circuit? Draw diagonal lines to show the wind and make it look super fast!
Tips for Having Fun!
You do not have to use real car colors. It is super fun to make up your own special colors, too! Add cool racing stripes or a race number to create the only S2000 like it in the world!
Fun Facts About S2000
It revs up to 9,000 RPM! A legendary high-revving engine
The engine in the early S2000 was super special because its tachometer could rev all the way up to 9,000 RPM! It made 125 horsepower per liter, which was world-class for a standard engine back then. It roared down the road with a high-pitched sound just like a real racing car!
No roof, but super strong! The "High X-Bone Frame"
Normal cars get their strength from having a roof, but the convertible S2000 doesn't have one! Instead, it uses a special "High X-Bone Frame." This made it just as strong and tough as a serious sports car with a roof!
Honda's first FR (rear-wheel drive) sports car in 29 years!
Honda is great at making "FF" cars that pull themselves with the front wheels. But S2000 uses "FR (rear-wheel drive)," which sends power to the back wheels! It was Honda's first time making an FR sports car in 29 years, since the legendary "S800" car!
It used a red "ENGINE START" button!
Pressing a button to start a car is normal now, but when S2000 came out in 1999, turning a key was the usual way. S2000 was the first Japanese car to use a push-button start system! Car fans loved the cool setup: you put the key in, turn it to "ON," and then press the red "ENGINE START" button next to the steering wheel to start it up!
