honda shows 2027 prelude limited edition jdm specialThe internet is still busy crying over the fact that the 2026 Honda Prelude uses a hybrid powertrain and a CVT rather than a high-revving VTEC engine and manual transmission.Whatever, Honda is ignoring the noise and rolling out a new variant for its home market. Called the 2027 Limited Edition, this exclusive package is destined solely for JDM dealerships and relies entirely on a deep, dark red aesthetic overhaul to move units.honda shows 2027 prelude limited edition jdm specialThe exterior is coated in a new shade called Premium Crystal Garnet Metallic, which covers the body and the upper grille molding. To break up the monochrome look, the company threw some bright red accents onto the front splitter and rear diffuser, bolted on a set of 19-inch machined black clear wheels, and tucked red-painted Brembo calipers behind the spokes.honda shows 2027 prelude limited edition jdm specialInside the cabin, the color palette shifts to a heavy dose of burgundy leather-a shade Honda calls Bordeaux-splashed across the front seats, center console, and dashboard. Red contrast stitching binds the steering wheel and door cards together, and the Prelude nameplate is stitched in red on the passenger side of the dash.AdvertisementAdvertisementMechanically, the car is unchanged, retaining the standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder and dual-electric-motor hybrid system that churns out a combined 200 horsepower to the front wheels via an eCVT.Honda hasn't said exactly how many copies of the Limited Edition will roll off the line, but the sticker price translates to roughly $38,933 based on the current exchange rate. That makes it a mere $800 premium over the base model in Japan, though North American buyers looking to import one are out of luck, as the special edition won't be making the trip across the Pacific.Become an AutoGuide insider.
