Its unique design and premium-quality craftsmanship will fascinate you. Its brilliant handling and splendid performance will exhilarate you. This is not only represents one side of BMW’s new design language, but also sets new roadster standards in many areas: Self-confident, powerful, sporting and aesthetic. Every time you experience it: the BMW Z4 will provide you with extraordinary moments of unforgettable pleasure. For all your senses.

The object of lusts

The design of BMW Z4.

The BMW Z4 effortlessly bridges two worlds. It is a classic roadster. And it is a charismatic vision of the future. The sweeping curve of the bonnet, the long wheelbase and low-set seats identify the Z4 as a purebred sports car. But more than this: the Z4 is an experience that delights the senses. Convex and concave surfaces play with light. Strong lines interact with soft curves. Smooth steel and fine leather bring a tactile richness to every detail. The closer you come to the Z4, the more it touches you.

Hidden talents

The safety in BMW Z4.

The BMW Z4 is a roadster of unequalled elegance and grace. It may be somewhat surprising then to realise that it is also one of the safest roadsters on the road today. Beneath its fine lines is in fact a high-strength steel body. Behind the headrests are concealed two stainless steel roll-bars. The A-columns on each side of the windscreen are high-strength tubular steel. Reversible aluminium bumpers and invisible deformation zones at the front and rear absorb impact without damage to the car's body. And the cabin hides the next-generation Impact Dependent System airbags.

Honda S2000CR

Premier Performance

Nothing exemplifies Honda racing skill and ingenuity like the S2000 CR “Club Racer.” A firmer suspension, quicker steering ratio and fully functional front and rear spoilers have been specially designed to connect driver, vehicle and road.

Compete

The CR is a true competitor. Feel free to maximize its potential at club racing events.

Performance

A purist’s dream, the factory-tuned CR sports an aerodynamic design and stiffer suspension settings for increased rigidity and downforce. The CR proudly draws upon the S2000’s racing heritage, but delivers more in terms of sheer performance.

Lighter

With racecar-like suspension and lower weight, the CR’s performance is second to none. Drivers rave about its cornering, braking and acceleration. To accomplish this, the audio system and air conditioning are offered as options and the spare tire has been replaced with a tire-repair kit. This, along with other modifications, lightens the racy roadster by nearly 100 pounds from the original S2000. Add in a taut new chassis, quicker steering ratio, “stickier” tires, and track-inspired has never felt so meaningful.

Exclusive standard features:

• Firmer springs and dampers
• Stiffer front and rear stabilization bars
• Quicker steering ratio
• Larger rear P255/40 R17 tires
• Bridgestone Potenza RE070 tires
• All-new 17" dark gray 5-spoke alloy wheels
• Fully functional aerodynamic front and rear spoilers
• Yellow and black fabric
• Yellow-stitched seats, shift boot and steering wheel
• Spherical aluminum shift knob
• Removable aluminum hardtop
• Body-colored roll-bar cowlings
• Sport-tuned exhaust silencer

Performance features:

• Skidpad pulls .95G
• Slalom speed 71mph
• Coefficient of lift reduced approximately 70% over original S2000
• Over 2-seconds per lap faster around Japan’s Tsukuba Raceway than the original S2000
• Possibly, the world's fastest-moving art exhibit.

Flawless

The S2000’s flawless contours and sculpted lines leave admirers longing for a second glance.

Nimble

Flaunting lightweight alloy wheels, a chiseled nose and high-intensity discharge (HID) headlights, the S2000 is truly something to behold.

Attractive

Indulge in a long, deep gaze. With something this attractive, it’s rude not to stare.

Slip down into the cockpit and take command.

Power Up

Remote entry, power windows, mirrors ,door locks and an electrically powered soft top with glass rear window ease your access.

Stow Your Cargo

Stow your gear in the center console storage compartment and large door pockets.

Information-Ready

A digital, easy-to-read instrument panel reports vital information. The electrically powered soft top and integrated roll-bar speakers stand ready.

Lift Off

Slide down into the leather seats, set the electronically controlled air conditioning to your ideal zone. Intuitively-placed left-hand audio-system controls and steering wheel-mounted cruise control keep you seamlessly connected even while under way. All systems go. Jet pilots shouldn't get to have all the fun.

Lighter means faster.

Honda engineers turn simple ideas into revolutionary vehicles.

Powerful Thinking

The S2000 sports a powerful, 2.2-liter, high revving engine while the high X-bone monocoque frame provides excellent rigidity and load distribution.

Quite a Rush

Are you ready for 237 hp at 7800 rpm and 162 lb-ft of torque at 6800 rpm? And with the S2000’s performance-oriented suspension, you’re in store for a rush of adrenaline.

S2000 CR - Extreme Performance

The factory-tuned, lighter weight S2000 CR provides more aggressive and track-oriented suspension settings, increased body and chassis rigidity and aerodynamic spoilers tuned for reduced lift and enhanced balance at high track-racing speeds.

Every S2000 comes with standard safety features.

Safety First

While the anti-lock braking system (ABS) helps you maintain steering control during hard stops, the power-assisted 4-wheel disc brakes and Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) with traction control add a further measure of stopping power and sure-footedness.

Drive with Confidence

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the pressure in all four tires, and alerts the driver if pressure in any tire becomes significantly low.*

Reinforced Cockpit

The S2000 offers added protection thanks to side-impact door beams and other body reinforcements to door pads, side sills and floor of the cockpit.

*For optimal tire wear and performance, tire pressure should be checked regularly with a gauge. Do not rely solely on the monitor system. See your local Honda dealer for details.

For three decades, Honda has played a leading role in meeting environmental challenges.

Fewer Emissions

Even though our engineers designed a red-blooded racing machine, they also made sure that the S2000 controlled emissions.

Environmentally Conscious

In fact, this racing marvel achieves 18 mpg city/25 mpg highway* and has earned a Low-Emission-Vehicle rating (LEV-2) from the California Air Resources Board (CARB).

Fuel Efficient

Its 16-valve DOHC VTEC® engine provides fuel economy that compares favorably to other high-performance sports cars.

*Based on 2009 EPA mileage estimates, reflecting new EPA fuel economy methods beginning with 2008 models. Use for comparison purposes only. Do not compare to models before 2008. Your actual mileage will vary depending on how you drive and maintain your vehicle.
