o r a small car, there Honda S 2000.


There is lots of power -


about 238 b.h.p. There is lots of grip -


thanks to its perfect bal­ ance and technological


aids. There is lots of speed - it


reaches 150 m.p.h. and can zoom to 60 m.p.h. in 6.2


seconds. There is lots of noise -


iiw for tile Mra ooiipe!


Yi^AUXHAIX hiis revealed the stylisli the car will make its debut in October at the


J shape of its now Astra coupe. Due to go on s;do in the summer of 2000,


Ijondon Motor Show. But Sides strategies are already well


advanced. The coupe will be offered with a choice of three engines, including a 2.0 litre turbo charged unit that will give it a top .sijeodof l-IOm.p.h. In addition to this 188 b.h.p. range-top­


per, customers will bo able to select 14.'5 b.h.p. and 1 Id b.h.p. four cylinder petrol


engines. In tnith, the coupe does not resemble the


Astra hatchback too closely, but enthusiasts will immediately notice a similarity to the lamented Calibra in the domed roofline and


rounded flanks. It will be built by Bertone in Turin, using


the Astra platform which has been hailed for injecting fun and genuine driver pleasure into the small-medium hatchback sector. And it will not be a limited edition either.


The production target is more than 30,000 a year.


the engine screams to 9,000 r.p.m. and compotes with tyre roar to assault your


ears. All of which adds up to


lots of fun. I t is the car Honda’s


racing engineers designed to celebrate the company’s 50th birthday, built to blend the best of classical roar-whcol-drive, two- seater, open-top nostalgia and loading edge automo­ tive engineering. 'rrouble is production of

enough to have paid a deposit already - without driving or oven seeing an example can therefore expect to make a handsome profit should they choose to sell. But if they are enthusi^ts, they will hold on to their investment tor a while and enjoy the ride. The S 2000 is a wonder­ ful machine, an imposing


sports car which breaks now ground in the way it is


built and engineered. I t is lightweight thanks


to a spaceframe chassis, aluminium bonnet and minimalist interior. And its engine is almost the stuff of science fiction. It is only 2.0 litres, and although

there is no turbo-charger, it creates enormous grunt. I t is the most powerful

W Z3 roadster


e v is e d examples of the BMW Z3 roadster have gone on sale - after the company ran out of the original versionsl The new Z3 was not due to go on sale


for another month, but there has been strong demand all year for the stunning


two seater. Revisions to the Z3 range include a


number of external and interior changes, as well as a new engine line-up, offering a choice of four models instead of three. A 2.0 litre, 150 b.h.p. straight six


replaced a four pot 1.9 litre model and a


new sub-£20,000 1.8 is added. Bodywork has been tweaked to give a


broader look at the rear and the rear wings have been given a more pro­


nounced flare. On the inside, there is a new centre console, switchgear from the M Roadster


and a choice of new colours and uphol-


sLery. Prices are £19,995 for the Z3 1.8,


£22,999 for the 2.0 litre and £28,350 for the 2.8. The M Roadster continues


unchanged

access more than 7,500 of the 9,000 available r.p.m. It is hugely flexible. It


will pick-up from 2,000 r.p.m. in top gear and, where conditions allow, build rapidly to a frantic pace. But it is not thirsty and promises more than 28 m.p.g. on the combined cycle. Yet if the engine is Year


2000 and then some, the ride remains a link with classical sports cars of the Golden Age. I t is brutally firm at times and can be a real stomach-churner at


high speed. Rear-wheel-drive means


there is no wheelspin to contend with, but at high speed on bumpy surfaces the front end can feel light as you battle for control. The combination of new


hi-tech and tradition makes it a driver’s dream, not unlike the MGF only quicker and more expen­


sive.


Inside, the driving posi­


tion is low. You sink along­ side the transmission tun­ nel upon which sits a short.! throw aluminium gear lever. The six-speed box is a delight, although the ratios are so tight it is easy to hit! fourth instead of sixth. The dashboard looks


conventional at first glance, but is brimming with new ideas. To turn on- the engine there is a big red starter button and there is ; a digital speedo and rev. counter which apes the lat­


est FI designs. And it really could not


be any easier to raise and lower the roof. Two catches and a rocker switch and it is all done inside six sec­


onds. The S 2000 loves to be


raced and it has the chassis and suspension to obey every high octane whim. Don’t pose, just drive.
