I still think that (in concept form at least) the TVR Sagaris was very much ahead of its time.

Starting in the 2000 model year, the Honda S2000. Take an older style, originally brought back by the Miata, but then get Honda to challenge it with this beautiful aggressive modern guy.

Still looks like it could [should] roll off the factory floor.

Before anyone starts with the E39 started in the 90s crap, keep in mind the M5 didn’t start (EDIT: US) production until 2000.
