The 2026 Honda Prelude is a marvel of hybrid technology

When it comes to enthusiast-geared Honda hardware, the Civic Si, Civic Type R, and Acura NSX often come to mind first for their revvy VTEC (Honda's form of variable valve timing) engines and playful chassis dynamics. The Prelude, on the other hand, less so. Instead, the Prelude is a technological study - still aimed at driving fun, but by way of integrating clever forms of engineering into a sleek grand touring coupe body.
