HONDAPrelude 1987 - 1992

　　The third generation of Honda Prelude featured a revolutionary styling compared to its predecessor, with styling cues shared with the later introduced Honda NSX.

　　The distinctive design draw people’s attention with the pop-up headlights introduced for the first time on a Prelude. The front end was smoothed out and the rear end changed with the spoiler integrated into the trunk lid.

　　Visibility was improved by narrowing the roof pillars and the glass area was increased by 30%, Honda stating that the new roof was even stronger than the old one.

　　Honda brought many innovative features with the new Prelude, such as an extraordinary 0.34 drag coefficient and the world’s first mechanical four-wheel-steering system available for a passenger car. With the new 4WS, the car could go a little faster in turns than with the 2WS and as speed climbed, the drivers had a bit more room for error.

　　Despite a weight increase compared to the previous generation Prelude, the new model offered improved performance with the 2.0-liter 4-cylinder powerplant that put out 135 hp. The unit was mated with a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic. Quite impressive for the time, the Prelude needed around 9 seconds to reach 100 kp/h.

　　Inside, the Prelude was fitted with firm and comfortable manually adjustable bucket seats. The gauges were basic and easy to read and the dashboard was well laid out.

　　More interior room was available with the new generation and the cargo area could store plenty of luggages.
