Page 8 of Honda 06 S2000 by Honda Motors
The S2000s design is a reflection of a long,
distinguished heritage of racing success on the
worlds most demanding circuits. Weve collected
more than 70 Grand Prix victories in Formula
One racing and 65 wins in CART open-wheel
racing, and we won the IRLs triple crown in
2004. We believe the pressure of competition
makes our engineers better able to create smart,
innovative designs for our production vehicles.
And the 06 S2000 is a pure expression of our
pioneering spirit and our burning desire to win.
The value of life can be
measured by how many
times your soul has been
deeply stirred.
- Soichiro Honda
John Surtees raced his V-12
Formula One Honda to a
thrilling victory in the 1967
Monza Grand Prix. The win
marked the beginning of
Hondas legendary Formula
One success story.
Honda stunned the motorcycle
racing world in 1961, when
Mike The Bike Hailwood
piloted Honda racers to victory
at the Isle of Man, in both the
125cc and 250cc classes.
Mr. Honda poured his lifelong passion for racing into the
creation of the S series sports cars. And todays S2000
embodies the same spirit of innovation and competition
that inspired the S600 and S800 roadsters 40 years ago.
