If a new report is to be believed, Honda may be planning a successor to the S2000 roadster. The original Honda S2000 was created to mark Honda Motor's 50th anniversary. The new car would be released in 2024, a quarter-century after the original's 1999 Japanese debut and coinciding with Honda's 75th birthday.

As reported by Forbes, who merely cites "a source close to Honda," the company's marketing team is "seriously considering" an all-new iteration of the S2000. Veteran Japanese auto industry reporter Peter Lyon says that 20th Anniversary Concept of the old S2000, which you may recall was shown at January's Tokyo Auto Salon, was intended to keep enthusiasm going for an upcoming model.

The Fast and Furious franchise has featured some amazing cars, and the bright pink Honda S2000 from 2 Fast 2 Furious is one of the most iconic. Doug DeMuro recently had the opportunity to check it out.

The Honda S2000 roadster has begun to catch fire with collectors, and this example currently up for auction on Bring a Trailer will only fan the flames. It has just over 1,000 miles on the odometer, making it effectively a new car.

This 2007-model S2000 is an AP2-generation car from the penultimate year of production. This one is Silverstone Metallic with a black leather interior and a black power top. The 2.2-liter F22C1 VTEC inline-four has an 8,000-rpm redline and makes 237 horsepower. It's backed by a six-speed stick shift and a Torsen limited-slip differential. The seller acquired the car from the original owner in Texas last year. Although this S2000 doesn't appear to have any immediate needs, the new owner may be happy to know that Honda has begun remanufacturing parts for the S2000.

While the 2.2-liter F22C naturally-aspirated four-cylinder of the Honda S2000 is a high-revving jewel, the owner of a red S2000 in Albuquerque, New Mexico decided it didn't have quite enough power.

The S2000's long-rumored successor is nowhere to be found. Instead, Honda is helping owners keep their aging drop-tops on the road by relaunching production of hard-to-find parts. And it's inviting enthusiasts to chime in.

Manufactured from 1999 to 2009, the S2000 became an instant classic that remains highly sought-after even a decade after it retired. The earliest examples are old enough to drink, and finding parts is becoming increasingly difficult because they don't regularly appear in junkyards, so Honda hopes to make maintaining — and, soon enough, restoring — an S2000 a breeze by offering a selection of factory-built parts through its dealer network.

As promised, Honda has unveiled the S2000 20th Anniversary Prototype at the Tokyo Auto Salon.
