But even compared to these now-iconic sports cars, the S2000 stood out. And 1999 saw the Mazda Miata, the car that arguably kicked all this off, enter its second generation. Honda launched the S2000 at roughly the same time as the Porsche Boxster. The late 1990s and early 2000s were something of a roadster renaissance. Their creation was approved for production and became the 2000 Honda S2000, the first of the AP1 models. And for Honda’s 50 th anniversary, a few engineers wanted to celebrate by building another roadster with a similarly-effervescent spirit, Road & Track says. It was the Japanese automaker’s first truly global car and immediately made a splash with its motorcycle-like engine that could rev to 11,000 RPM. Back in the ‘60s, Honda introduced a sports car called the S600.
