The last Honda NSX left the assembly lines

In 1990, the first generation Honda NSX was introduced, which over time won the hearts of many car enthusiasts, especially in the North American market. It remained on the market for 15 years, and some considered it the Japanese Ferrari. This was the reason for Honda to present the second generation of this model in 2016, but this time there was no success.

Recently, the last copy of the second generation hybrid Honda NSX was assembled. Since its appearance in 2015, this car has had the greatest popularity in America, where it was offered with a 3.5 L V6 engine in combination with three electric motors with a total power of 581 hp (427 kW) and 476 lb-ft (645 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to all wheels via a 9-speed dual-clutch gearbox. However, last year Honda teased the NSX Type S via its YouTube channel. The plan was to produce only 350 units of which 300 for the American market. Also, engine power has been increased to 600 hp (441 kW) and 492 lb-ft (667 Nm) of torque. It reaches 60 mph in 2.9 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 191 mph (307 km/h).

But all that was not enough for the hybrid Honda NSX Type S to stay on the market because Honda announced the electrification of all its existing models, as well as the possible return of forgotten ones, such as the Honda Prelude.

Two decades ago, Honda introduced the last edition of its Prelude model, and now it is widely rumored that a new generation could hit the market by 2028.

Honda announces all-electric Prelude by 2028

Two decades ago, Honda introduced the last edition of its Prelude model, and now it is widely rumored that a new generation could soon hit the market.

The last edition was a two-door sports coupe and one of the most exciting cars from the Japanese brand. However, the return of old names has become popular recently, such as the Toyota Supra and Acura Integra. So there is hope for the return of the Honda Prelude as well, and the information was published by the Japanese magazine Best Car Web.

Also, Best Car Web states that Honda may introduce two new electric cars, as hinted at by a recently published teaser. Better experts believe that these could be the successors of the Prelude, but also of the Honda NSX model (also called Acura NSX in North America, China and Kuwait). However, Honda says that the two electric cars will be “special and flagship models” and will be sold on the global market. In addition to the electric models shown in the teaser, Honda said that its primary plan for this decade is the North American, Chinese and Japanese markets.

The current generation Honda NSX is powered by a 3.5L twin turbo V6 engine with 600hp (441 kW) and 492 lb-ft (667Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a 9-speed dual-clutch transmission. It reaches 60 mph in 2.9 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 191 mph (307 km/h).
