The Honda S2000 started out as the roofless Honda SSM prototype shown in 1995 at the Tokyo Motor Show. SSM stood for Sports Study Model.

It took another four years before Honda would officially unveil what we know today as the Honda S2000, a rear-wheel drive, drop-top roadster that relied on an aluminum-block, aluminum-pistons 2-liter engine with, of course, V-TEC for a total of 234 hp harnessed by a six-speed manual gearbox.
