The Tokyo Auto Salon is an annual show that showcases aftermarket parts and technology displays — think of it as SEMA but with taste, and also with parts we’ll likely never see in North America.
This year (or, rather, next year) Honda will be bringing an upgraded S2000 sports car to the Salon to celebrate the model’s 20th anniversary, but be warned the car comes with a few tweaks to bring it into the 21st century.
This particular car started life as an AP1-generation S2000, to which a new front bumper was added, along with side skirts, more prominent fenders and a rear spoiler.
Only one teaser image of the upgraded vehicle has been released, but it does show off the new front fascia, which kind of makes it look like a Renault Alpine. We can see the splitter is now a little lower, and there are also side skirts to give the vehicle a lower appearance.
Honda said the S2000 is also sporting a new suspension system, as well as an upgraded stereo. A set of 17-inch Advan RZ2 wheels adorn the sports car, and the windshield frame has been painted black and made thinner to give the car a more sleek appearance.
The sun visors and rearview mirror also appear to have been deleted, and the outside mirror caps have been darkened, too. Could this perhaps be a speedster concept? We’ll have to wait until January to find out.
Honda has brought a modified S2000 to the Auto Salon before in the form of the S2000 Modulo Climax, in 2013. It featured a chrome front bumper that echoed the eyebrow styling of current Hondas, as well as a custom red paint job.
