This is great news for fans of classic Japanese supercars.
Pininfarina, which previously created the NSX HP-X concept model, has announced a collaboration with JAS Motorsport to revive the original 1990s NSX.
This restomod project will utilize the original chassis, but Pininfarina will produce custom carbon fiber body panels.
Rest assured, it will adhere closely to the beloved original design of the NSX.
Based on the supplied images, the restomod NSX retains the iconic pop-up headlight construction but features modern LED lighting units.
This NSX will be available in both right-hand drive (RHD) and left-hand drive (LHD) versions.
The naturally aspirated 3.0-liter V6 engine will be retained but tuned for greater performance, paired with a six-speed manual transmission.
According to JAS, this NSX restomod project will be offered in a very limited number of units, which means a selling price that is significantly higher than that of used NSX models.
Although production has long been discontinued, the first generation Honda NSX still has a large following worldwide, and prices remain stubbornly high.
Boon Siew Honda has launched the RS-X Winner model with Honda’s iconic Tricolor livery for the local market in conjunction with the recent Honda Thanks Day event.
Limited to just 800 units, the RS-X Winner Tricolor Edition comes with RCB accessories, which include:
RCB Brake Caliper S-26 Series (30th Anniversary Edition)
RCB Handle Grip Nagamaki
RCB Lever Guard
Each purchase of this limited edition model is accompanied by a two-year manufacturer’s warranty or a mileage limit of 20,000 km (whichever comes first), along with an additional one-year unlimited mileage warranty under the Honda X-tend campaign.
The base specifications remain unchanged, featuring a single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a displacement of 149.2 cc that produces 15.8 hp at 9,000 rpm and torque of 13.6 Nm at 7,000 rpm.
The transmission is a six-speed type, supported by an Assist & Slipper clutch.
The RS-X Winner utilizes a telescopic fork setup in the front, followed by a single shock absorber at the rear, while the brakes employ a hydraulic disc system with single-channel ABS.
The fuel tank has a capacity of 4.5 liters, and the seat height is 795 mm.
The selling price starts at RM10,298, excluding road tax, insurance, and registration fees.
BSH also offers standard colors such as Green, Matte Gray, and Blue, starting from RM9,998, or a special Yellow color priced at RM10,298.
There remains untapped potential in Honda’s hot hatch, the Civic Type R FL5.
This was underscored by Honda’s introduction of the Civic Type R HRC Rally XP rally car in anticipation of the Formula One race in the United States this weekend.
Prominent features include the HRC racing livery, mud flaps, Speedline alloy wheels with rally specifications, and all-terrain tire wraps.
The appearance of the American Rally Association (ARA) logo indicates that this vehicle will participate in the upcoming ARA National Championship season.
The Civic Type R FL5 retains its distinctive rear wing and large openings in the front bumper; however, additional vents are now available on the engine hood for cooling purposes.
The original triple exhaust outlets have been replaced with a more streamlined single pipe.
In the cabin, the red bucket seats have been upgraded, and the door panels and digital meter cluster have been removed.
It is now equipped with a pair of racing seats, a roll cage, OMP steering wheel, a vertical handbrake lever, and a new digital instrument panel complete with gear change indicator lights.
No details about the engine specifications have been disclosed, but it is likely that the original K20 engine is retained, paired with a six-speed transmission, albeit with tuning more suitable for racing.
Similarly, the suspension settings and limited-slip differential (LSD) components may also undergo upgrades.
Notably, this vehicle features the name Liam Lawson, an F1 driver from the Red Bull team.
Honda continues the legacy of the ‘CB’ family with the launch of the new CB1000F model for 2026.
Built on the CB1000 Hornet platform, the CB1000F is equipped with a re-tuned 1,000 cc inline-four engine, delivering a more powerful riding experience in the low to mid RPM range.
It is now capable of generating up to 122 hp at 9,000 rpm and a torque of 103 Nm at 8,000 rpm.
The gear ratio has also been revised, accompanied by an assist/slipper clutch for a more relaxed riding experience.
The suspension of the CB1000F consists of 41 mm inverted Showa SFF-BP front forks, complemented by Pro-Link suspension at the rear, offering wheel travel of 130 mm and 140 mm, respectively.
This retro roadster is also equipped with a Nissin braking system, featuring a four-piston brake caliper paired with dual 310 mm rotors at the front, along with a single-piston caliper and a 240 mm rotor at the rear.
Enhancing the modern retro style of this machine are the classic-style exhaust pipes, 17-inch aluminum rims, and front and rear LED lighting systems.
Standard features of the CB1000F include a dual-channel ABS system, supported by a six-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU), a throttle-by-wire (TBW) system, riding modes (Standard, Rain, and Sport), wheelie control, and Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC).
Riders can access important information through a five-inch TFT display that can be paired with the RoadSync app.

About a year after the “EV Fun Concept” was showcased at EICMA 2024, Honda has officially announced the production model of the WN7 for the European market.
The Honda WN7 is an electric motorcycle built on Honda’s 75 years of experience and expertise in the motorcycle arena.
This naked electric bike is named in line with the design theme “Be the Wind,” where ‘N’ stands for “Naked” and ‘7’ indicates its power class.
While the official specifications have not been disclosed, Honda claims that the WN7 can deliver performance equivalent to a 600cc model in terms of horsepower, and torque comparable to that of a 1,000cc model.
Equipped with a lithium-ion battery, the WN7 offers a riding range of over 130 km on a full charge.
Additionally, the WN7 features a CCS2 port that allows for fast charging from 20% to 80% in just 30 minutes.
Unfortunately, the supplied battery is a permanent type and cannot be replaced, unlike Honda’s portable Mobile Power Pack e:, which is used in several electric scooter models.
In terms of appearance, the WN7 retains many design elements from the EV Fun Concept model.
However, there are several changes, including a seat that appears more comfortable, integrated turn signal lights, and a location for the license plate at the rear.
The motorcycle is equipped with a five-inch TFT screen, allowing owners to connect their device via the Honda RodSync app
After a prolonged teaser session, Honda has officially confirmed that the sixth-generation Prelude is set to launch in the Japanese market this September.
The Honda Prelude made its global debut during the Japan Mobility Show 2023, which took place two years ago.
Here are some key facts you need to know:
1. More than Just a Civic Coupe
Honda has used the Civic’s platform to develop the Prelude model, but with a distinctly different design approach.
The Prelude features larger diameter tires, an optimized wheelbase, and an overall design inspired by sports car aesthetics.
2. The Ideal Sports Car
Honda does not intend for the Prelude to be significantly sportier than the existing Civic Type R offerings.
Nevertheless, the Prelude is still characterized as an ideal sports car, balancing performance and practicality.
This balance is achieved through components borrowed from the Civic Type R, such as a double-wishbone front suspension and Brembo brake calipers, along with practical features like a 2+2 seating configuration, foldable rear seats, under-floor storage, and a large tailgate opening.
3. Full Specifications Still Under Wraps
At this time, Honda is not ready to reveal the full specifications of this hybrid coupe.
What is certain, however, is that there will be no manual transmission option available.
The Honda Prelude will feature a 2.0-liter hybrid engine setup with two electric motors borrowed from the Civic Hybrid, producing 200 hp and 315 Nm of torque.
Among the new technologies included is the S+ Shift mode, which simulates gear shifts similar to what is available in the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N.
4. Cabin Design
Although built on the Civic platform, the dashboard layout of the Prelude has been given its own unique character.
In addition to a 10.25-inch digital cluster screen and a 9-inch center screen similar to the Civic, the Prelude adopts a flat-bottom steering wheel design with a 12 o’clock marker, blue stitching accents, and smaller air conditioning vents.
The center console houses buttons for the transmission operation (PRND), drive mode selection, and a special button for the previously mentioned S+ mode.
5. Accessories Ready for Purchase
Honda Japan will also offer a Sports Style accessory package for owners seeking a more aggressive image.
This package includes body-color grille trim, a black rear spoiler, black side mirror housings, and newly designed 19-inch wheels.
If you recall, Honda Malaysia showcased the Prelude Concept model during the KLIMS exhibition last year.
Is this a sign that the Prelude model will be officially launched in Malaysia soon?
Introducing the smallest electric car produced by Honda: the Honda N-One e:.
With dimensions that place it within the kei car class, it replaces the Honda e, which ceased production in January of last year.

The cabin of the N-One e: follows the Man Maximum Machine Minimum philosophy, showcasing a minimalist design.
It comes with an LCD cluster screen, a nine-inch central display, USB charging ports, a PRND selection button, and central climate controls, along with a two-spoke steering wheel similar to that of the N-Van e:.
Practicality is enhanced by a small tray on the dashboard, cup holders in the driver’s area and center console, as well as foldable rear seats to suit various needs.
5. Variations
Two variants are offered for the Japanese market: the e: L, which is more fully equipped, and the base e: G.
Both variants come standard with front and rear LED lights and an ADAS system (complete with cameras).
The base e: G features 14-inch steel rims with hub covers.
Its cabin appears more minimalist, as it includes only a simple audio system with Bluetooth support.
The e: L variant, on the other hand, is equipped with sporty 14-inch six-spoke aluminum rims and a cabin that includes the infotainment screen mentioned in point four.
6. Honda Access Accessories
As always, no Honda car offering would be complete without a wide array of accessories.
Honda Access provides a V2L adapter kit that offers up to 1,500W of power for emergency use.
A charging indication light module is also available, allowing owners to see the battery charge level from outside, even when the car is locked.
The Premium Style package adds decorative racing stripes to the hood, tailgate, sides of the car, and front grille.
