Honda's racing prowess is reflected in the S2000. From 2000 through 2003, this sporty Honda came equipped with an inline 4-cylinder engine that easily produces 240 horsepower. In 2004, Honda released a modified engine for the American market that lengthened the stroke and decreased rpms. The high revs of this engine make it one of only a few naturally-aspirated engines that can produce more than 100 horsepower per liter. This compact sports car maintained its great front/rear weight ratio by keeping the engine behind the front axel and driving itself from the rear wheels.
