Honda’s confirmation that the sixth-generation Prelude will share suspension components and track dimensions with the Civic Type R is another strong hint that this will be as much a revival of the discontinued Civic coupe as it is of the Prelude, which departed the market in 2001 after five generations as one of Honda’s key enthusiast models.

Honda says the new Prelude will share its suspension, wide front and rear tracks, and Brembo front brakes with the Civic Type R.

Along with the torque-steer-preventing dual-axis front struts, the Prelude packs a Brembo brake setup, also from the CTR.
