In the year 1078, the automobile industry witnessed the launch of the Honda Prelude and everyone fell in love with this car. However, after five generations of this impressive coupe sports saloon, Honda pulled the plug on its production. Well, if you were a fan of the Prelude, we’re happy to tell you that it is resurfacing as a hybrid sports coupe.
Yes, last year, Honda hit the headlines with scanty details on the Prelude entry that will launch soon. While details on the vehicle that Honda teased are very few, the internet has been going wild over the return of the Prelude nameplate. At this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, we are getting eyes on the concept version of this long-lost gem from the Japanese automobile manufacturer.
The Festival of Speed is already on the way, as it’ll run through July 14, which is only a few days away. We now have live images and a clear view of this coming vehicle as it hits the stage at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. After years of not being a part of the automobile world, the Honda Prelude is getting a massive design change.
Not only does this car now look more aggressive, but it also takes on a modern design that is satisfying. From previous information, we understand that the coming Prelude might share the Honda Civic’s e:HEV powertrain. This will be the case with Preludes to retail in the European market, and we can confirm that this resurrected vehicle is making its way to Europe.
The Australian market will also get this vehicle, but there is no information on when that launch will happen. With a hybrid powertrain, this new vehicle from Honda will be able to improve its performance and live up to its sporty reputation. Once this vehicle makes its official launch, we’ll have more details on its specifications and performance.
