Honda S2000 Performance Overview
Built from 2000 to 2008, Honda’s S2000 centered its performance identity on a high-revving, rear-drive roadster layout, tracked here across 20 independently verified tests spanning 2000 to 2008. Early AP1 cars used the 2.0-liter F20C, with output ranging from 240 hp in production form to 300 hp in the supercharged 2001 Comptech Roadster. That progression shows clearly in the numbers: the 2000 Roadster needed 6.8 seconds to reach 60 mph, the 2000 ProSpec Roadster cut that to 5.7 seconds, and the 2001 Comptech Roadster established the model’s quickest result at 4.7 seconds to 60 mph while also running the quarter-mile in 13.3 seconds at 108 mph.
From 2004, the AP2 era shifted to the 2.2-liter F22C1, with naturally aspirated output in a narrower 237-240 hp band. Performance remained tightly grouped, with standard AP2 Roadster tests generally in the mid-5-second range and the sharper 2008 CR Roadster posting the current-generation best of 5.3 seconds to 60 mph. Across its full run, the S2000 stayed exclusively gasoline-powered, and the data shows a car that moved from broader early variation to a more consistent final specification by the end of production.

How we verify Honda S2000 performance data
Records and averages on this page cover verified production runs only; modified and prototype results are listed by year but never folded into them. We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Honda S2000 trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
