On September 8, Honda US organized the “S2000 Homecoming” at the company’s Torrance, California, facility. Nearly 500 S2000 roadsters attended the event making it the largest gathering of S2000s to date. The 1,000 guests that took part had the chance to meet Shigeru Uehara, the chief engineer for the S2000 who flew from Japan to attend. S2000 enthusiasts also had an early viewing of the all-new S2000 CR before its scheduled on sale date in early October. -Continued after the jump

“It was very rewarding to see so many fans of the S2000 gathered together for this event,” said Shigeru Uehara, chief engineer of the Honda S2000. “I was very happy to present the S2000 CR as my gift to enthusiasts in the United States.”

“This is what owners have wanted for a while,” said S2000 owner Mike Trinh, a Community Organizer of S2K International, a group of owners that meets regularly in Torrance and West Covina, California. “The Homecoming isn’t just about the car; it’s about the community, getting all of the owners together to share stories and information.”
