The Honda Prelude 1997-2001 was built from 1997 to 2001.
The Prelude, the most traded version: The fifth-generation Prelude represents Honda's final bow for their pioneering front-wheel-drive sports coupe, and it went out swinging. Built on an all-new platform, this generation featured Honda's innovative Active Torque Transfer System (ATTS) on SH models—a mechanical torque-vectoring differential that predated similar systems by decades. The naturally aspirated 2.2-liter H22A4 VTEC four-cylinder delivered 200 horsepower with Honda's signature high-rev character, paired exclusively with a five-speed manual transmission. Clean examples are increasingly sought after as enthusiasts recognize this as the most sophisticated Prelude ever built. The distinctive wedge profile, penned by Pininfarina, aged gracefully compared to period competitors. With Honda discontinuing the nameplate after 2001, fifth-gen Preludes represent the end of an era for affordable Japanese sports coupes, making well-maintained examples particularly desirable among collectors seeking the last of Honda's pure enthusiast offerings.
