The past was a time of great change. during the golden age of Japanese sports automobiles, Honda’s lineup consisted of many amazing vehicles, that were top performers at a fair cost. The Prelude was certainly one of the best. While it was discontinued over 20 years ago, the Prelude is a popular choice in the eyes of Honda enthusiasts and fans of cars all over the world. This is why there are many rumors of its potential return. In addition, there aren’t only speculations, but numerous digital renderings of what the next version would appear like. The most fascinating is the one that shows the model 2024 Honda Prelude ZL1, which will be a product from the GM and Honda collaboration.

The reason this source suggests an arrangement is that the two companies have been cooperating for some time. Particularly, General Motors supplies the Japanese manufacturer with batteries and electric motors and is the one responsible for a lot of the Honda EVs that are coming. But this CGI rendering reveals something unique, something that will elevate this partnership to a completely new level.
2024 Honda Prelude ZL1 Redesign
What’s unique regarding this new 2024 Honda Prelude ZL1 rendering? It’s firstly it was created by Dimas Ramadhan, a digital automotive designer behind his Digimods DESIGN channel that is on YouTube has already published several digital renderings that have become legendary. What we can observe in this instance is that there’s not anything similar to the earlier generations of Prelude models.
Most often, re-creations of nameplates that are familiar to the past may also have similarities in terms of the design. However, this time, things are distinct. This render illustrates the Prelude that is based on I’m sure you’ve heard, Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. This is where the name ZL1 originates. Also, what you see is the Camaro’s design, which has a classic design, and the rear and front ends feature design options which are typical of Honda models. Of course, there are some prelude parts from the past however the majority of the vehicle is heavily inspired by Chevrolet’s muscle car.

What’s interesting in this rendering is that, if we were to allow this car into consideration for some time in the future, the collaboration could go beyond and not just be focused on EV development as well as collaboration on internal combustion cars. We don’t think this scenario is a particularly feasible one, however, it’s an intriguing idea regardless.
Engine
Naturally, the biggest and most intriguing aspect, in this particular instance would be the powertrain. As we’re discussing an internal combustion powertrain Camaro’s super-capable supercharged engine would be first to come to mind. It’s the famous 6.2-liter Supercharged V8 that puts out 650 horsepower. The problem comes when you consider that Honda produces some of the top internal combustion engines available and is known for their dependability and durability. Why should they choose to use the GM engine? We could instead imagine a scenario in which the Japanese manufacturer employed the famous 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine which was paired with multiple electric motors in an arrangement similar to that of the NSX supercar.
All-Electric Prelude
A revival of the sports coupes sounds way too amazing to be true. We live in an age of larger, more practical automobiles, therefore it’s not hard to imagine Honda making use of this nameplate for something different, like an electric car, for example. Although these stories of romance about the true resurrection of Prelude seem fantastic the odds of seeing these stories come true are slim. Instead, we think that should Honda plan to revive the brand, it will use it to promote its electric vehicle range. It could be a sleek electric vehicle but it could also become an electric SUV.
