Eu stiam ca intreg sasiul si sistemul de suspensie la S2000 sunt inspirate din tehnologia de Formula 1, unde Honda e destul de experimentata. Review-urile spun ca are un handling printre cele mai bune. Mazda si F1 nu prea s-au placut reciproc pana acum.
S2000: \"When tuning a chassis, having a rigid car body makes the job easier. The Honda's shell manages to be well-braced without adding too much weight, while scuttle shake is practically non-existent.
The double wishbone suspension set-up still provides plenty of grip, even more at the softened off back end. Responses haven't been blunted, though. It's as quick-reacting, the steering is still as direct, the weight distribution's a perfect 50:50 and the neutral, poised stance remains. It's just a bit less edgy.\"
RX8: \"One of the main benefits of that RENESIS engine is its incredibly compact size. It has allowed Mazda's engineers to position it very close to the centre of the car, giving the RX-8 a mid-engined layout and perfect 50/50 weight distribution.
What this means in practice is well-balanced handling with little understeer. The RX-8 attacks corners with relish; feeling taut and controlled, and giving you the confidence to make the most of that rev-happy engine. Even in the less powerful 189bhp version, the pace builds swiftly and the snappy five-speed 'box and sharp steering don't say 'slow down'.
On the downside, a serious lack of low-end torque means you really need to work the gearbox, even when you're not in a playful mood. The more powerful 228bhp version actually has less torque, with 156lb ft at 5,500rpm instead of 162lb ft at 5,000. But you do get a six-speed gearbox to compensate.\"
