Shigeru Uehara (上原 繁, Uehara Shigeru, born September 5, 1947 in Tokyo) is a Japanese automotive engineer.
[1] Shigeru Uehara began his career at Honda R&D Co., Ltd in 1971, and went on to become the company's specialist in vehicle stability and handling performance.
Shigeru Uehara completed the S2000 CR as his last project before retirement, as his pride and joy.
The color (Apex Blue) is his favorite color, the tires are made with the same tread design as the NSX-R's Potenza's (which he helped design), and the purpose built body kit produces much rear-end down-force at speed.
Uehara called the S2000 CR his final gift before retirement.
