Powerful engine sound unique only to a sports car was realized by applying Honda's original sound tuning techniques to the breathing and exhaust sounds of the engine, the operating sound of the turbo charger, the sound of the blow-off valve that lets go of boost pressure, etc.
An easy-to-operate, lightweight and detachable soft-top called a "roll-top" was adopted so that more customers can enjoy the fun of driving while feeling the wind in a more casual manner.
