335bhp in British numbers.

I would have preferred a mid-engine vehicle with the 221KW J37 V6 though (considering Honda already has a transverse 6-speed manual for the J-series after all), but oh well -- there is no escape from eco turbo fours.

Eco Turbo 5's?

Eco Turbo 5's?

Yes, an Audi RS3 sound would certainly generate hype for the S2000, but it has been quite some time since Honda produced an inline-five engine...

As a long time Honda enthusiast, this is good news.

But I am afraid the car will be horribly designed and quite ugly.

Honda hasn't made a good looking car in over 2 decades.

I agree, the S2000 was probably their last good looking car. On the other hand 1999-2009 overlaps with a lot of that "over 2 decades".
