Real car talk through the model Tamiya 1/24 Honda Prelude



The Honda Prelude was released in September 2025 as a “next-generation electric (hybrid) specialty sports car.” Based on Tamiya’s 1/24 scale model, which was released almost simultaneously with the full-scale car, developers of both the full-scale car and the model will explain the Prelude’s appeal and features.
