History and achievements: The Honda Prelude XX, introduced to the market in November 1982, was the second generation of this model and quickly gained popularity due to its modern design and advanced technical solutions. This car stood out with its aerodynamic silhouette, which provided stability at high speeds and reduced air resistance. Equipped with a 125-horsepower engine and modern suspension with double wishbones, the Prelude XX offered excellent driving characteristics. It was also one of the first production cars in Japan to offer an optional ABS system.
