dunno if it is true, but a Type-R version of the S2000 seems sensible.

Oh ya, i'm new here. Don't have a HOnda yet but I just wanted to know if this "prototype" will be reality.

 

whats the dif between the Regular S2K we get and the Type V available in Japan? Just better suspension?

 

Type-V has different sways, steering ratio, steering wheel, shocks and traction control. It was designed to overcome snap oversteer and have great track performance with only 1.4 turns of the whell lock to lock.

 

Type V is also heavier than stook. On a track test with stock s2000. Type V was a full 2 second behind in the total lap time.

 

wow, that much heavier huh? How much weight can all that stuff add to add 2 full seconds? Is the Type V like the more Luxery styled 2K? Kind of like the Type Rx?

 

It's not luxury version. Just that the track they did the test was not suited for Type V to excel. The stock F20C did better because it carry less weight.

 

so if the better handling version is slower than the stock version, why buy it? hell why even make it?

And here i thought Honda/Acura of America was crazy since they dont give us the S Type NSX and JDM front end on the ITR.
