Could This be the 2011 Honda S2000?

Looks like the anticipation for the current S2000 replacement is building. No official word from Honda on this car, and this is only a 'rendered speculation' of what the car may or may not look like.

"While we still haven’t received any official word on the S2000 replacement, Japanese car magazines are at it again drawing up their own renderings of Honda’s next generation rear-wheel-drive roadster. According to T.L. who sent us this latest scan, the unnamed Japanese magazines says that new S2000 is expected to be unveiled in 2010 with worldwide sales starting in 2011. It is stated that Honda’s S2000 will offer buyers more options in terms of powertrains, including two new engines, a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder V-TEC unit delivering approximately 250Hp and a 3.5-litre V6 V-TEC unit with about 350Hp.

Honda S2000CR Makes Road & Tracks 'Fast and the Frugal'

Nice list compiled of vehicles that are performance orientated but also good on gas.

"Like the Nismo 350Z, the Club Racer (CR) version of the Honda S2000 leaves the drivetrain stock, thus avoiding the need to recertify the car's fuel economy. This in the case of the S2000 is a good thing, as it is rated at 18 mpg city/25 mpg highway while still delivering sub-6-sec. 0–60-mph acceleration. However, the tweaks to the chassis, including additional body bracing to go along with the stiffer suspension and high-performance tires, raise the S2000's grip levels and thereby its fun factor. The results are quite impressive as the CR is capable of pulling nearly 1.0g on the skidpad and it flies through the slalom at 71.7 mph. And it's not a bad looker, either, with the extra aero bits that also add to the car's high-speed agility. Further enhancing the S2000's performance is stellar braking, the best of the bunch at 109 ft. from 60 mph. Equipped with a 13.2-gal. tank, the theoretical maximum range of the CR approaches 400 miles — that's a lot of autocross cones between fill-ups."

Inspiration for the Next S2000

This is just a compliation of design ideas of what the Next Gen Honda S2000 may look like, as it has been official for awhile now that Honda is proceeding with a Full Model Change over. The last pic is the Mugen verion of the current S2000.
