Honda Prelude
The 1st generation Prelude was introduced in Japan on November 24, 1978. Though the drivetrain was shared with the Accord, Prelude found its home as a two-door, FWD specialty vehicle. At 4090mm(length) x 1635mm (width) x 1290mm (height), it had quite a low and wide profile. The wheelbase was 2320 mm and 60 mm shorter than that of the original Accord. The Accord-shared engine was the model EK and 4 cylinder, SOHC, 1751 cc CVCC.
Engine Type CVCC Advanced Stratified Charge, 4- Cylinder, In-Line, SOHC
Displacement(cc/cu. in.) 1751/107
Horsepower@rpm(SAE) 72@4500
Torque(lb-ft.@rpm) 94@3500
Compression Ratio 8.0:1
Ignition System Transistor- Controlled Electronic
Carburetion 3-Barrel Downdraft Carburetor
Cooling Liquid-Cooled, Thermostatically Controlled Electric Fan
It made use of an engine oil cooler and transistor- controlled ignition system and the MT pushed out 90ps. 4-wheel independent struts were used. Leather seats were offered as an option and the infamous electronic sunroof was (surprisingly) included as a standard option in some models. The AT started out with only 2 gears, but by October 1979, Honda added a 3-speed AT with the final gear as the OD. Even the 1st generation Prelude received many compliments on its ability to handle well.

Bem, tenho que começar a cumprir com o meu dever cívico, por isso a ver se dou aqui uma mãozinha.
Os dados técnicos apresentados no 1º post referem-se às especificações para o mercado americano.
Na Europa, o código do motor é EL (e não EK) e a cilindrada é de 1602 cc., fruto de um curso menor dos pistons.
A potencia máxima é de 80 CV (59 KW) às 5300 rpms e o binário de 126,5 NM (12,9kgm) às 3500rpms.
Mas, posso assegurar que às 2000 o binário está lá quase todo. Com um peso de 920 Kg, o cocktail está montado (sub 12 segundos de 0-100 faz-se nas calmas
![:[devil]](http://www.deephousepage.com/smilies/devil10.gif)
)
Fica aqui um link que descobri há pouco:
Prelude Edited by: prelude guy at: 14/2/06 22:35
Por aqui é possível ver as especificações das versões "japonesas" (motor EK, 1.7L, CVCC) e as europeias (motor EL, 8 válvulas, 1.6L)
Ficha técnicaNa versão americana, os dados são os que constam do 1º post (potência de 72 CV)
Só a aceleração anunciada de 0 a 100 é deve ser em condução "à velhinha"

First Generation Honda Prelude History
The first generation Honda Prelude was introduced as a 1979 model and was developed as a better-equipped, more stylish step up from the Accord.
The 4 cylinder, SOHC, 1751 cc CVCC engine offered 72 horsepower at 4,500 rpm. The car was available with either a two speed automatic or a five speed manual transmission. The five speed delivered 72 HP and the auto 68, both at 4500 RPMs. The automatic started with only two gears, but by October 1979, Honda added a 3 speed model with the final gear as an overdrive.
The car made use of an engine oil cooler and transistor-controlled ignition system. Four wheel independent struts, brakes and floorpans were all borrowed from the second generation Civic. The new larger 1.8 liter engine was the same as the first generation Accord sedan, giving the car adequate power compared to it's competitors.
Inside, the Prelude featured a wealth of standard equipment, including a power glass moonroof that became a Prelude trademark. Other features included an a combination tach and speedo, intermittent wipers, tinted glass, remote and trunk release. Leather seats were also an available option as was the AM/FM Cassette stereo.
The external styling introduced many details that were seen on future Civic and Accord models. For 1981 and 1982 Honda developed a few extra horsepower from the EK engine by raising the compression ratio from 8.0:1 to 8.8:1. Total first-generation production for the U.S. market was 171,829 vehicles.

Amigos do prelude na... Argentina!Apreciem que os rapazes estão bem lá
Honda Prelude 1982
Brochura completa:

Este tópico está muito parado... e logo agora que eles estão a aparecer por aqui. Está mal ::)
Como o Nelson faz assim umas descobertas engraçadas, então foi só aproveitar a embalagem e aqui vai uma brochura francesa...
... que já agora está incorrecta. Surgem lá dois modelos, um bordeaux e um preto. O preto é de 1981, agora o Bordeaux é de 1979 ou 1980... se não me engano, claro, mas de 82 não são por certo... "pormenores" :lol

Entretanto tenho é que passar as minhas brochuras em scanner e colocar aqui. :redface
O tópico não está correcto :duh: 1979 até 1982, a partir daí começou o reinado do Prelude MK2 :lol
Só o autor do tópico ou um moderador o podem editar...
... mas penso que as datas de produção do MKI ficaram bem claras ao longo dos vários posts... :D
Boas malta!
Este tópico está muito bom mas é pena que nas primeiras mensagens, as imagens já não estejam disponiveis... não se consegue alterar isso? :)
Saudações Niponicas!!
O membro que abriu o tópico já por cá não anda.
Na altura o Fórum estava numa plataforma diferente da actual.
Já se passaram uns anos e algumas imagens não estão mais online.
Mas,
:D
para as imagens que se mantêm online, pode-se dar um jeito já a seguir :green:

E, para concluir, o Prelude Cabrio transformado pela "Tropic Autodesign" (talvez esta indicação não seja 100% rigorosa, uma vez que houve várias empresas, nos EUA e na Europa, a converterem o Prelude MKI para cabrio):

Curioso...
Não percebi o teu comentário. Trata-se de um modelo de 1981 destinado ao mercado americano. Acho que esta versão tinha código SQ (ao contrário do SN - info que requer confirmação), com interiores em pele, AC, DA e essas coisas.
É de caixa manual (uma raridade do mercado dos States), tem o painel mais convencional, pois eles não se acostumaram aos indicadores concêntricos e parece ter sido alvo de um restauro excelente (a baía do motor está fantástica).
Viva,
Desconhecia este painél no prelude e achei piada aos espelhos eléctricos (equipamento que desconhecia ser opcional neste modelo)
Curioso ainda o posicionamento do alternador.
Nelson (kombota)
:thumbsup
O alternador ali é para colocar o compressor do AC no sítio onde o dito cujo costuma estar :green:
Mas, seja como for, aquela versão com equipamento extra, principalmente bancos em pele, é realmente pouquíssimo comum.
Dá sempre jeito...
Mais que não seja para procurar "aquele" nome técnico que nos escapa.
