Need for Speed Shift – Honda S2000 Previews

Posted on July 10th, 2009 in Console, Need for Speed Shift – 13 Comments

EA keeps on showing us new previews of one car in Need for Speed Shift every day, today we´ll take a look at Honda’s S2000 roadster.

Powered by engines up to 250hp, the S2000 is one of Honda’s most successful and longest-running cars, being still sold and produced since 1999. The car also enjoyed some success in motorsports, mainly in drifting and endurance racing.

Developed by Slightly Mad Studios (former Blimey! Games) and distributed by EA, Need for Speed Shift is expected to be released in September 2009 for the PC and all major consoles. A demo of Shift has been announced to be available this summer.

    Yeay!! This is the car I’m going to buy in the real world. Well the Honda CR any way.

  • Dillyracer

    Give me that demo!

  • Howie47

    Hope there is a Soltice to race against it.

  • trebor901

    Would help it go quicker if the wheels were round……

  • Jos

    +1 trebor, who moddeled those wheels! :eek:

  • carbonfibre

    Is that a bit of tyre deformation or just clipping with the ground?

    Nonetheless, square exhaust flame glow is square… :eek:

    Now i have to buy shift regardless of ‘arcade’ or otherwise. Owned and autocrosed an S2000 for 4 years – brilliant car and I need to purchase again.

    BTW, it actually goes out of production this year and -in the U.S at least – had only 240hp not 250. The real claim to fame was the 9000RPM redline on the earlier (US)models, and sweet vtec kick at ~4500 RPM along with STELLAR handling that was NOT compromised as almost every other street car is towards understeer.

    Uhm, would be a waste of time to race the iRAcing (non GXP) Sol against the S2000 the Honda is in a totally superior class.

    It’s actually tire deformation. The good thing is that it’s more than just there visually, but it’s a part of the physics.

    Of course I mean the GPX turbo charged version. I think about 260hp. Which would put them in same class, considering power to wait rations. Poor Pontiac, the only descent car they made. GM exects are proof that modern education is a waist. Henry Ford would have made the Solstice run the Miata out of business. Every other college kid would have had one.

    You know the Solstice is a rebadged Opel, don’t you?

    Which Opel would that be? Do you have a link to a picture or video? I never heard of it.

    That would be the Opel GT which has the same Kappa Platform as the Solstice and Saturn Sky. Here’s the pic: http://www.autospectator.com/uploads/Opel/2007/GT/07Opel_GT_1st.jpg

    Exactly.
    And the GTO was a Holden Monaro which, if I’m not mistaken, was build on Opel Omega platform.
