The automotive industry is at a turning point, with loads of new innovations arriving on the scene while much of what we have known the automotive world for over the years is being retired. As the sweeping change happens, cars that are already iconic moments in recent automotive history are becoming modern classics even quicker than we thought before, and the Honda S2000 is one of the most prominent examples.
With a naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine, a manual transmission, rear-wheel drive, an open top, and an unforgettably beautiful silhouette, the Honda S2000 remains one of modern automotive history’s greatest moments, and today, roughly a decade and a half after it was discontinued, it’s attained coveted status and values to match, however, the Honda S2000 CR, a rare variant of the legendary sports car, takes that to another level.
Based on the later-generation AP2 Honda S2000, the Honda S2000 CR, which stands for Club Racer, helped send off the production run of the S2000 in a glorious way. The car featured weight savings, improved handling, and more visceral dynamics compared to the standard S2000, and only 699 examples of the car were ever made.
One of those, finished in Apex Blue Pearl, is available for sale at Park Place Ltd in Bellevue, Washington. The 2008 Honda S2000 CR pairs that exterior with a black removable roof, and a black Alcantara interior boasting yellow contrast stitching and yellow mesh seat centers.
If you’re looking for an investment-grade classic to add to your garage, few cars have the panache and reverence of the Honda S2000, and this specific example for sale boasts an added degree of exclusivity and collector-grade historic value, as one of the greatest examples of a future classic.
