Honda was always a name that is in one breath called hot lead and Roadsters, but the brand disappeared in the last few years in that respect are complete of the map. There’s some in the barrel, with the new Civic Type-R, and possibly also a successor of the S2000, that is us in 2009, left.

With the GT86/BRZ and 4C it is again more in the segment of lightweight, affordable (and less affordable, in the case of the 4C) RWD roadsters. If we GT channel have to believe that we can have in the long term Honda to add.

The lords prides itself on a ” source within Honda, indicating that there is work being done to a ‘S1500’, the Mazda MX-5 recipe (next generation) must follow: a 1.3 or 1.5 litre four-cylinder engine, of very limited dimensions and a weight of approximately 900 kg.

As the basis of the N-One (pictures here) a candidate. That seems to me to be fine so long as Honda does not intend the thing outside of Japan to sell. For outside the JDM seems to me to be not such a luminieus idea.

We have a S1500 with open arms, or does Honda well also a full-fledged S2000-successor? Who knows, we get in december, at the Tokyo Motor Show is something to see.
