2000 Honda S2000 sold at auction for $95,000

Between 1999 and 2009, Honda produced over 110,000 units of the open top sports car, the Honda S2000. It is a modern classic that still sells for a lot of money, and one example, a 2000 Honda S2000, recently sold for $95,000.

This Honda S2000 is in excellent condition and has only 42 miles (67 kilometers). Considering that the car has been driven very little in the past 25 years, it is no surprise that it has been perfectly preserved. It is finished in Silverstone metallic over a black interior. What makes this model special is that unlike most Honda cars, it has rear-wheel drive.

The previous owner was a buyer from New York, and it is not known who the new owner of this car is. The car was estimated at $60,000 – $80,000, but the new owner paid much more.

The Honda S2000 is powered by a 2.0-L DOHC inline-4 engine with 240 hp @ 8300 rpm and 153 lb-ft @ 7500 rpm, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission.

1984 Porsche 911 Carrera SC RS Gruppe B “Evolutionsserie” is up for auction

Half a century ago, the German car manufacturer Porsche created a legend, the 911 Carrera RS. The plan was to produce 500 homologated cars for FIA competitions, but in the end over 1,500 cars were produced and sold. However, 10 years later the 911 Carrera SC RS was born, and less than two dozen were produced. One of the best remaining and documented Porsche 911 Carrera SC RS is for sale.

Its turbo-based body is aluminum, making it 600 pounds lighter than the 911 SC road car. The front and rear bumpers are made of fiberglass, the brakes are derived from the 917, and there are 935-style lollipop seats.

As a 1984 Tour de Corse was the final event of Tucho von Dijk’s WRC rally career, it is very likely that a fondness between the two was forged during the successful event. Chassis 21 was kept by Von Dijk until 2004. During those 21 years of ownership, the car has remained in remarkably unaltered state, which cannot be said for most SC RS cars with a high-level competition history.

Chassis 21 is the final of the type 954 911 SC RS built for FIA Group B rally competition by Porsche motorsport. This car finished 14th in the 1984 Tour de Corse. It is powered by a 3.0-L engine set at 7,000 rpm, which allows the car to reach 60 mph in 4.9 seconds.

The 911 SC RS is the missing piece of many collections, and this Chassis 21 is an exceptional opportunity for all collectors. The estimated price of the car is $2,600,000 – $3,500,000.

1988 ItalDesign Aztec is up for auction

At the end of the 60s, a design and engineering company, ItalDesign, was founded. In 1988, celebrating two decades of existence, at the Turin Motor Show, they presented a unique sports car in which the driver and passenger were separated, and the two parties communicated electronically. It is about the ItalDesign Aztec concept, which was produced in only about 20 examples, and one of them, the 1988 ItalDesign Aztec, is up for auction.

This car has a speedster body style with partial visor sections which are removable and open in a gull-wing arrangement. It is equipped with transparent door inserts, pop-up headlights, carbon fiber rear wing, and control panels on both sides of the aluminum body panels at the back. After entering the codes into the dashboard, certain functions of the car (additional set of lights, hydraulic jack, removable screwdriver, fire extinguisher, tire compressor and flashlight) can be accessed via voice message.

The car in the photos is actually the 12th example produced, and between 2011 and 2015 it was in the Shanghai Auto Museum. It was recently imported to the US and serviced by Autocouture Motoring. It is powered by a 2.2 L Audi MB/1B turbocharged DOHC I5 engine mated to a 5-speed manual transmission.

The estimated value of the car is $273,000 – $325,000 USD.
