You know that Prede Reablen has come for a long time when a second appearance appears at the Goodwood Festival of speed, and you still cannot buy one. Honda brought a concept to the event last year and returned at the end of last week with a preliminary model close to production. Unlike the first picnic in the UK, this time the famous PRELUDE ran the hill. Honda also allowed passers -by to sit inside the final cabin, on the acute contrast with the approach of 2024 when the doors were locked and the windows are covered to prevent the eyes of intruders.
A new video clip shown during the festival shows flavors from the front, including the Boost Blue Pearl that dealt with the hill climbing. Basically, it picks up the three -door lift as the civil coupe stopped and it seems practically despite the slope roof line. It features a divided back seat, allowing you to contain two passengers at the back, provided that it is not very long.
As you expect, the rear view is at risk through the most prominent C, but this is the price of a stylish coupe design. Inside, the design borrows greatly from CIVIC and Integra, so most of it should feel knowledge. While both models offer a stick, the sixth generation before it is only automatic. The strange CR-Z combined a guide with an electric electric group, but unfortunately, this is not the case here.
Although you cannot reduce your gears, Honda has added the S+ to enable “more pronounced simulation transformations”, simulating an eight -speed gearbox via the acid installed behind the steering wheel. Fakery does not stop there because the noise of the engine is artificially reinforced. Looking at the pushing of Honda towards electrification and standards of strict emissions increasingly, it seems unlikely to be unlikely that there is evidence calling gas with a suitable guide.
Despite the first time in October 2023 at the Tokyo Mobility Show, Honda remains tight on technical specifications. However, he confirmed that the introduction will inherit the front suspension of the dual axis of type R and Mathatat. It is also said to have a wider front and background paths than CIVIC, a shorter wheel base, a 10 % lighter body, increased hardness, and a more solid comment.
Do not expect to chase the times of the lap of Norburgring. Honda has already said that an introduction will not be “the most sporty car and the most ejaculation in circles.” Whether it can rise to the level of the legacy of previous generations still should be seen. The design does not indicate the past completely, but the view of half of the glass is full, at least Honda has not turned into the SUV. I look at you, Mitsubishi Eclipse.
The new PRELUDE will be offered for sale in the United States later this year and up to Europe in 2026.
