Should Honda make the Prelude Cabriolet a reality?
A 3D artist has created virtual renders of a potential Honda Prelude cabriolet and shooting brake, sparking discussion among automotive enthusiasts. The concepts explore how the modern coupe could be adapted for different body styles.
Why it matters
Automotive design renders highlight consumer interest in niche vehicle segments and the influence of digital artists on car culture.
After experiencing the Honda Prelude’s backseat and its limited headroom, 3D artist and virtual tuner Theottle decided to render the coupe with the second row entirely removed. Instead of a backseat, the space behind the first row fits a convertible mechanism, turning the coupe into a cabriolet.
Theottle’s 3D model features the Prelude with a power-retractable soft-top modified from the MG Cyberster. The rear hatch door has been converted into a regular trunk lid, while the back of the passenger and driver’s seats now have silver roll hoops to protect virtual occupants in case of a rollover.
