Post S2000 Type S vs Previous ones

I hope someone can find a version of this with subtitles if it exists. What's been said in the video is very informative but I have no idea how to translate because technical terms are kinda hard to do. But in the end when they compare 2006 track time and cornering speed with Type S (which is CR here), you can see there's a pretty big difference.

Very nice video and lots of ideas from Uehara Shigeru.

Does the Type S come with a retractable top?

Type S and CR are two different trims.

The CR would've done much better.

I didn't think they were the same, but wasn't sure.
Thanks.

I actually like the Type S better. It has the soft convertible top which is more convience than the hard top.

Type S makes sense to me, but I value the S as a convertible.

yeah, someone posted this video i while back.

type-S has retractable soft top, our CR should be a bit better than it...
i heard from an interview that the CR should be between type-S and type-R(if ever they make one).
