[Vehicle commentary]
- Sports car S2000 planned to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Honda Motor Co., Ltd.
- The car was launched in 1999.
- Since the S800, the predecessor of Honda's FR sports car, ended production in 1970, it was a revival for the first time in 29 years, and it attracted a lot of attention.
- The body shape was only an open 2-seater, and it was equipped with a specially tuned F20C engine that produced 250 horsepower while being a 2-liter naturally aspirated engine in the front mid. It is said that the adoption of a lightweight high X-bone frame structure ensured the same rigidity as a closed body car.
- The steering is fixed and does not even have a tilt mechanism, and the instrument panel is not equipped with a glove box in order to provide sure and rigid handling. was pierced.
- Production of the S2000 continued from its launch in 1999 until 2009 without changing its basic design, but it can be roughly divided into the early 2-liter model, the mid-term model with facelifts such as the bumper design, and the engine exhaust. There is a late model that expands the volume to 2.2 liters.
- It's common to call the 2 liter model AP1 and the 2.2 liter model AP2.
- If we look at macroscopically, the suspension settings, which were too agile even in the early 2-liter era, were reviewed, and for the mid-term model, the production base was changed from the Takanezawa factory (founded as a dedicated NSX production factory) to Suzuka. It is also known that even among S2000 fans, there is a big difference in opinion when it comes to selecting the best model.

[Model commentary]
-We interviewed and modeled the actual 1999 model of the 2-liter AP1, the initial phase of the S2000 that was produced for 10 years.
-In the production of the prototype, we 3D scanned the actual 1999 model car and designed the prototype based on the collected data.
- Regarding the S2000, there are plans to develop both 1/43 and 1/18 scale models, and we are making prototype data for 1/18 first.
- In designing 1/43, the data of 1/18 will be resized, but since the basic resolution is reduced while keeping the same, details such as the headlight housing can be expressed with very high density. It is possible.
-Because it is a convertible, reproducibility of the exposed interior is also an important point.
- For the top, we have prepared parts that allow you to enjoy two patterns: a closed state with the hood raised, and an open state with a tonneau cover.
- Make Up plans to model each variation of the same car in the future, so as a memorable first step, please purchase the AP1 early type, which is the origin of the S2000.
