After a more than 20-year hiatus what appears to be the precursor to a sixth-generation Honda Prelude has debuted today at this year’s Japan Mobility Show.

Honda says the pure EV Prelude Concept “inherits the joy of driving into the age of full-scale electrification”.

Aside from confirming the concept as an EV and a “sports model” technical detail is thin on the ground although the Japanese maker confirms it is “currently working diligently on development”.

Showing broadly similar proportions to the fifth-gen ‘2+2’ Prelude that departed the Australian market in 2002, the dramatic concept’s obviously aero-influenced design includes detail elements like flush door handles, a sweeping turret, large rear spoiler and complex rear diffuser.

Black multi-spoke 20-inch rims wear 245/35 Z-rated Continental SportContact 6 rubber.

The interior layout is a mystery, with the concept’s solid black glasshouse indicating this display car is a styling buck rather than an operational prototype.

Stay tuned for powertrain and possible production timing details.

As a small boy James often sat on a lounge with three shoes in front of him, a ruler between the cushions, and a circular drinks tray in his hands. He would then play ‘drivings’, happily heading to destinations unknown for hours on end. He’s since owned many cars, raced a few, and driven (literally) thousands of them at all points of the globe. He’s steered around and across Australia multiple times, spent time as an advanced driving instructor, and had the opportunity to experience rare and valuable classics here and overseas. His time in motoring journalism has included stints at national and international titles including Motor, Wheels and TopGear, and when asked to nominate a career highlight, James says interviewing industry legend Gordon Murray, in the paddock at the 1989 Australian Formula One Grand Prix was amazing, especially as Murray waived away a hovering Ayrton Senna to complete the conversation. As Deputy Editor, James manages everything from sub-editing to back-end content, while creating written and video product reviews, as well as the weekly 'Tools in the Shed' podcast.'
