👋 Hello Hive Community! Greetings from Sunny Slovenia 🇸🇮
How are you all doing?
Today, I’d like to share with you one of my favorite cars ever — the Honda S2000.
First, let’s talk about the real car, and then I’ll show you some highlights from my personal Hot Wheels Honda S2000 collection.
🚗 The Real Car: Honda S2000
The Honda S2000 is one of the most iconic and beloved sports cars in the world.
It’s highly respected for its sharp driving dynamics, high-revving engine, and excellent balance.
Production started in 1999 and ran until 2009.
- 🕹️ 6-speed manual transmission
- 🔥 Rear-wheel drive
Engine Versions:
- 1999–2003 (AP1): 2.0L VTEC – 240 HP
- 2004–2009 (AP2, U.S. only): 2.2L VTEC – 237 HP
- Europe & Japan (all years): Kept the 2.0L engine
The S2000 is famous for being incredibly fun to drive and very stable on the road.
🏎️ Now Let’s Talk About Hot Wheels!
The Honda S2000 has a strong presence in the Hot Wheels scene, especially among collectors and fans of JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) cars.
With its sporty design, tuner culture roots, and appearances in films and games, it's become a favorite die-cast casting.
There are dozens of versions — from mainlines to premium Real Riders editions with rubber tires.
Some rare versions (like the purple Fast & Furious or Super Treasure Hunt) are worth tens or even hundreds of euros!

🔸 Black Fast & Furious Honda S2000 (2017 Walmart Exclusive)

💖 Why It Matters to Me
The Honda S2000 will always have a special place in my heart because of the Fast & Furious movies.
That’s where I truly fell in love with this car — the style, the sound, the legacy.
Thank you so much
