With the exception of the 1996-2001 Acura Integra Type R, Honda has kept its highest-performing variants out of the hands of U.
S. enthusiasts-until now. But make no mistake, we're not getting a new Type R; Honda is giving us its vision of the ultimate daily-driver/weekend race car: the 2008 S2000 CR (Club Racer).
To create a street car that provides properly balanced track performance and excellent high-speed stability, Honda starts with a regular S2000. The stock softtop, spare tire, and tools are all removed, as are the hood and cabin insulation. Radio and air conditioning are deleted as well, though they can be put back in as an option. For rainy days, the CR comes with the Honda Optional Equipment 48-pound nonstructural aluminum hardtop. Without the hardtop, air-conditioner, or radio, the S2000 weighs 99 pounds less than a regular S2000.
