The 2008 Honda family of cars and trucks builds on the excitement of a robust 2007 model year highlighted by the introduction of an all-new CR-V and Honda’s newest addition, the Fit.

2008 Honda S2000
For the 2008 model year, the S2000 CR will debut as an entirely new trim level with a lighter, stiffer and more aggressive overall design that is engineered to maximize the S2000’s potential on a racetrack. The factory-tuned roadster provides highly-aggressive suspension settings, increased body and chassis rigidity, overall weight reduction and an aerodynamic body kit dialed-in for reduced lift. A removable aluminum hardtop replaces the convertible soft top as standard equipment. The S2000 CR will debut in the fall of 2007.
