The Honda Prelude, the two-door sports car was one of the brand’s most exciting cars before it was discontinued in 2001. According to recent reports, there is hope for the Prelude’s rebirth, as Honda gears up to launch a sporty EV in 2028. The Prelude’s successor could be an electric vehicle. The two electric sports vehicles teased by Honda are successors to the Prelude and the NSX, according to Japan’s Best Car Web.
Jon Ikeda, Acura’s Vice President and Brand Officer, said that the NSX will return as an EV. Honda stated that one of the sports EV will be a specialty model, while the other will be a flagship model and both EV’s will be available worldwide.
