This special-edition Prelude pairs a brilliant red exterior with a burgundy interior in an uncharacteristically bold look from Honda.

Honda Honda revealed a limited-edition example of the 2027 Prelude that will be sold exclusively in Japan. The exterior of the special edition is finished in a dark red paint called Premium Crystal Garnet Metallic, while the interior is finished in an equally eye-catching burgundy. We haven't seen exactly how "limited" this limited edition is, but the listed price comes out to just $38,933 based on current exchange rates. Armchair experts from every corner of the internet have labeled the new Honda Prelude as a flop or a poor representation of the car's past. But for those who have actually driven the new Prelude, they know that it's an enjoyable little car, even if it isn't some fire-breathing monster. For anyone alright with that, allow us to introduce you to the new 2027 Limited Edition Prelude that Honda just revealed for the Japanese market.

As you can see, the Limited Edition is quite the looker. The Prelude already has an attractive silhouette, and the newly revealed dark red paint, which Honda calls Premium Crystal Garnet Metallic, only accentuates the look. The special edition also gets its front upper grille molding finished in the same Crystal Garnet color, with red accents added to the front splitter and rear diffuser.
