About the 1983 Honda Prelude

The second-generation Prelude marked Honda's serious entry into the sports coupe arena, introducing the revolutionary four-wheel steering system in 1987, a first for any production car. This sleek, wedge-shaped design penned by Honda's team represented a dramatic departure from the original's conservative styling. The 2.0-liter SOHC four-cylinder produced 110 horsepower, while the fuel-injected Si variant bumped output to 135 hp. What truly set this Prelude apart was its sophisticated double-wishbone suspension and near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution, delivering handling that rivaled European sports cars at a fraction of the cost. The 4WS models, identifiable by their unique badges, command premium prices today as collectors recognize their technological significance. Clean examples are increasingly rare, particularly the desirable Si models with manual transmissions. This generation established the Prelude's reputation as an affordable driver's car that could embarrass more expensive machinery on twisty roads.
