Overview

• Honda revealed the Prelude-GT at Sportsland Sugo with an initial shakedown scheduled there on Wednesday.
• The Prelude-based racer will replace the Civic Type R-GT after 2025, with a planned race debut at the 2026 Okayama opener on April 11-12.
• HRC’s Super GT project lead cited the four-door Civic’s design limits and said lessons from the past two seasons will inform the new car.
• Technical specifications and driver lineups remain undisclosed, though some outlets report a rear-drive, non-hybrid 2.0-liter package around 650 hp.
• Toyota and Nissan expect to continue with the GR Supra and Z in 2026, as the end of the aero freeze allows new lower-body updates across the field.
