Honda, the Japanese automaker, has kicked off 2024 impressively in the United States, as reflected in their January sales report featuring words like "growth," "records," and "strong deliveries." They are currently brimming with confidence. American Honda reported more than 93,000 sales in January, signifying a notable 10%+ rise compared to the same period last year. The primary driver of this growth was the Honda brand, which witnessed a substantial 13% surge, resulting in 84,000 units sold.

Remarkably, the electrified CR-V crossover SUV and the Accord mid-size sedan achieved their highest-ever January sales, while the Civic saw a significant uptick of 23.6%.

Artist Presents: Futuristic Honda S2000 Roadster

As reported by Autoevolution, Marouane Bembli, a virtual artist popularly known as TheSketchMonkey on YouTube, is once again enthusiastic about reviving the iconic Honda S2000 roadster in CGI form. The skilled digital artist has previously undertaken similar projects, but they mainly involved updating the appearance of the AP1 (1999-2003) or AP2 (2004-2009) generations, resembling facelifts rather than entirely new concepts.

However, this time, the CGI expert has taken a fresh approach, starting from scratch with a BiC pen 'doodle,' refining it with Photoshop lines, and adding finishing touches with airbrushing to imagine an unofficial next-generation (AP3) Honda S2000 roadster.

Meanwhile, as reported by Sports24News, it's worth noting that this reimagined sports car will deviate from its predecessors by not featuring one of the highest specific power outputs among naturally aspirated vehicles. If Honda were to reintroduce it in this fashion, it would likely come equipped with the 2.0-liter K20C1 turbocharged inline-four engine from the Civic Type R, capable of producing up to 325 horsepower in Japan and Europe.

Furthermore, there is potential for electrification, with the option of utilizing either the potential new powertrain found in the 2025 Civic Hybrid or the two-motor configuration with 204 horsepower seen in the CR-V and Accord Hybrid models.
