What's your idea of retirement planning? At Car and Driver, our
scribblers spend their golden years counting their air miles and
grousing about the web interns. If you're Shigeru Uehara, Honda R&D's
Executive Chief Engineer, you spend your last year on the job building
a track-ready special-edition version of the S2000.
Lots of engineers build track toys, but not many get their cars
approved for production. Uehara isn't just any engineer, though; he's
credited as the father of the Honda S2000 and the Acura NSX and
Integra Type R, the trio that convinced a generation of American
tuners and enthusiasts that Honda is a legitimate performance car
company. Uehara's legacy is solid, so he doesn't need to work on the
NSX's successor-he said through an interpreter that he's leaving that
to the next generation. Instead, his final gift to the enthusiast
world is the S2000 CR.
