Honda S2000

The Honda S2000 is a screaming convertible that was produced by Honda from 1999 to 2009. Under the bonnet was the F20C motor, a 2-liter DOHC-VTEC making about 250 bhp. The motor was in a front-midship configuration with a 9000 rpm redline where the VTEC screams like a banshee. It was one of the highest-rated normally aspirated engines of all time with a 124 HP per liter.

The Hot Wheels version came out in 2011 and was designed by Ryu Asada. The casting was more of a tuner inspired version rather than an outright scale model of the original. Even by the Club Racer version standards, this Hot Wheels casting takes it to a new level. While there has been no re-tooling of the car since it was released, several versions of it have been going around and what I have for this entry is the Street Tuners version.

The Street Tuners was released in 2019 and the S2000 on this series came in a simple silver paint job. However, the casting is an original design that is inclusive of a body kit, a rear wing, front canards, vented hood, and even a front splitter and rear valance. Because of this, the uncluttered look of the plain silver simply accentuates the lines, edges, and bulges of the car. This, together with detailing for the headlights, taillights, emblems, and even the Honda nameplate on the rear, make for a very nice looking car. The black MCRR wheels are also a nice contrast to the rest of the car. This is overall a very nice package for the little Honda.

I do have other versions of this car but this is the best of the bunch so far. A definite keeper, and not just for JDM fans.
