If this was made they’d probably put the base hybrid powertrain in it and then sell a higher spec model with an uptuned powertrain that makes like 315 or something
I doubt it’ll get to 300 horses. If they want to sell plenty at an affordable price point it might have the civics 1.5t CVT paired with the electric motor maybe producing 220 horses or something like that.
The prelude will either be 250hp a notch under the type R or 350 a notch over the type R. But it won’t be equal to the type R. The OG prelude was the flag ship. The entry level prelude is over the civic according to reports at 35k. so the top notch should be over the type R but they will probably debut that a few years after the base is debuted. If it was me. The entry level would have a 250hp 2.0 4 cylinder turbo. Then the si or type r would have the TLX turbo 6 cylinder with 350 hp. Then add whatever hp from the electric engines
The narrator is obviously too young to remember the original or would know how to say "pray-lude". 😉😅 Looks like a nice design and way closer to production than concept. I heard Japan will get them first.
This new one will break. Look how complicated this crap is. 2 electric motors and a ice motor. I don't want that shit and I had a 1999 prelude SH with a stick.

New footage of the car actually being driven confirms its a paddleshifted hybrid powertrain. The S+ mode is actually really impressive for having a fake gearbox. The gearshifts are awesome, smooth, and you can feel each one. It's as if you were driving a DCT. On normal mode, it'll most likely drive like the hybrid civic or accord. If Honda is indeed using the same powertrain as the other hybrids in the lineup, that means you can't modify the engine at all, since it isn't connected to the wheels. Its a generator.
The sleek design does have sleek looks of an older italian exotic vehicle. Just by the size of it is quite bigger than the older prelude models too. I like the looks and Curious to see what it looks like with a spoiler.

I worked for Honda up through January of last year. At that time they had "confirmed" it would be the Hybrid Accord powertrain with the 2.0. made 204 in the Accord iirc although I imagine a slight bump for this car. They specifically claimed it would not be as hardcore as the Type R. Think something to fill the void of the old V6 Accord coupe. I would expect something "sporty", but not necessarily a "sport car". Can't imagine it being a Miata competitor in any way.
A Plug-In Hybrid "AWD" would be nice... still wouldn't be as good as the Subaru AWD and their Symmetrical AWD but we have yet to see with the Hybrid/Electric system in the Front or Rear Wheels would be like... The new Prelude is gonna be dope!! 😁
It will have a manual option or it's no prelude, will also make more power 200 horse power for a $35 k hybrid is dead on arrival EawD will be offered as a prelude of things to come.
Wish we could get more lift back/fast back style coupes again.. so many of these coupes anymore all end up with trunks. It's not an absolute deal killer but a lift back is much nicer for practicality. I've kinda been tempted lately to acquire a Toyota Celica ST185/205. One of the few JDM legends out there for a decent price. Most everything has had bloated and skyrocketed in price too much. Skyline/GTR, Supra, RX7, Mustang SVT Cobra, NSX and many others.. Unfortunately many newer sport vehicles have two too many doors lol.. birthrates are at an all time low, yet four doors and crew cabs are at an all time high.. wtf.😅 I'll be curious to see how Toyota's new MR2/FT-SE and Celica revival pan out.

I just have to add this to the video; a key difference between a sigma and the other two is discipline. Discipline to keep working out, discipline to be consistent in your business etc. alphas also have discipline but they don’t have it on the same level as a sigma; sigmas have a type of discipline that almost borders on ocd if not properly directed.
