Designed to provide optimal passenger protection, the S2000 was constructed with a high X-bone monocoque frame supplying torsional rigidity higher than that found in many closed-topped sports cars. Additional injury protection is built into the interior with side-impact door beams and other body reinforcements to door pads, side sills and floor of the cockpit.
Every S2000 comes fully loaded with essential safety features.And they all come standard. Daytime Running Lights (DRL) up front enhance your visibility to others. 3-point seat belts with pretensioners ride across your lap and chest for better restraint. Dual front airbags (SRS) keep you and your passengers feeling safe. While the anti-lock braking system (ABS) helps you maintain steering control during hard stops, the power-assisted 4-wheel disc brakes and Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) with traction control add a further measure of sure-footedness and stopping power.

The anti-lock braking system (ABS) uses a special modulator to pulse the brakes to help prevent wheel lockup. This helps the driver retain steering control during hard braking.
In the event of a moderate-to-severe frontal impact, the dual front airbags (SRS) inflate and deflate in a fraction of a second and are designed to help prevent serious head and upper-body injuries.
Working with ABS and the Drive-by-Wire™ throttle system, VSA enhances stability by detecting oversteer or understeer, and by braking individual wheels and/or reducing throttle to help restore the driver's intended path of travel.
3-point seat belts with an automatic tensioning system ride across the lap and chest to help restrain occupants during sudden stops or impact.
The front and rear crush zones provide driver and passenger protection in full-frontal, offset-frontal, and rear impacts.
Body rigidity is crucial to good handling in an open-top roadster, so Honda engineers designed a highly rigid monocoque frame for the S2000. The heart of the structure is a large central tunnel that runs down the middle of the cockpit, which serves as the backbone and main load-bearing structure for the vehicle. The body’s high side sills and innovative diagonal (X-bone) bracing at the front and rear of the cockpit provide additional rigidity. Suspension and drive loads from the wheels are fed directly into this structure via highly rigid subframes at the front and rear of the vehicle.
The Daytime Running Lights (DRL) can help increase visibility to oncoming cars, especially in rainy or foggy weather conditions.
