I know this is old stuff, but Honda had made an attempt to fight the Altezza 2 years ago. I watched this VCD called Best motoring and it reminded me that it was against the Altezza. The thing is called Torneo Euro-R.

220hp
RE010 tires, I prefer this thing over IS300.

Here are the pics:

I think this is simply a Prelude Type-S engine.

Hello Kev,

That engine is a 2.2L Vtec Prelude Type-S engine. Not a B16.

Honda's rule is to have at least 100hp/l for their Type-R cars.

IT-R 111.11hp/l
Civic-R 112.5hp/l
Prelude Type-S (not SH) 100hp/l
Euro-R 100hp/l
RSX Type-R 110hp/l
RSX Type-S 100hp/l

The license plate said B16, so that's what gave me the idea.

They even have 2 versions of Tl-S, Odyessey and Accord wagons.........
