The original S2000 was introduced in 1999 and given the chassis number AP1. Powered with power delivered by a 1,997 cc (122 cu in) inline four-cylinder DOHC-VTEC engine of 237 to 247 bhp depending on the target market., the engine is mated to a six speed manual transmission and Torsen limited slip differential. The AP1 was manufactured up to 2003 at Honda's Takanezawa plant, alongside the NSX and Insight hybrid
Updated in 2004 and given the chassis designation AP2, which was never used in Europe although the improvements were the same in all markets. The new model looked very similar to the outgoing model changes included new 17 inch wheels, with a retuned suspension to reduce oversteer. The spring rates and shock absorber damping were altered and the suspension geometry modified to improve stability by reducing toe-in changes under cornering loads. The subframe has also received a revision in design to achieve a high rigidity. In the gearbox the brass synchronizers were replaced with carbon fiber.
In addition, cosmetic changes were made to the exterior with new front and rear bumpers, revised headlight assemblies, new LED tail-lights, and oval-tipped exhausts. Although all the cosmetic, suspension and most drivetrain upgrades were included on the Japanese and European S2000s, they retained the 2.0l F20C engine and remained designated as an AP1.
The 2006 model introduced a drive by wire throttle, an electronic stability control system, new wheels, and one new exterior colour
In the United Kingdom, the 2009 model was offered in both roadster and GT trim. The GT featured a removable hard-top and an outside temperature gauge. On-the-road prices of these trims were £27,300 and £27,850 respectively
The S2000 primary market was the USA accounting for around 60 per cent global sales with 19.2 per cent to Japan and 17.6 per cent to Europe
