The S2000 is based on the Honda SSM concept car that first appeared at the 1995 Tokyo Motor Show. Using the same basic front-engine/rear-wheel-drive layout as the SSM, the S2000 captures the spirit of legendary high-performance sports cars of the past, as well as Honda's very first sports car, the S500. Honda has long built dedicated performance cars, from the first S500 to the current Acura NSX. Honda has also enjoyed considerable success in racing, where it has produced three CART Manufacturer's Championships and six Formula One Constructor's titles. According to Honda, the company's racing heritage is reflected in every aspect of the S2000's design, performance and handling.
