All-New Honda Prelude Takes To A Different Kind Of Race Track This September 13


The upcoming all-new Honda Prelude will act as the official course check car at the upcoming World Athletics Championships Tokyo 2025 (WCH Tokyo 25). The specialty hybrid sportscar will be joined by the all-new Honda N-One e: mini-EV.

The Prelude and N-One e:’s on-course participation is part of Honda’s global partnership of WCH Tokyo 2025 which will be held from September 13 to 21, 2025 at the Japan National Stadium and other facilities around Tokyo, Japan.

Aside from these two vehicles, Honda will also be providing a diverse line-up of around 120 environmentally-responsible vehicles, including fuel cell electric vehicles, battery electric vehicles, and hybrid electric vehicles to shuttle the approximately 2,000 athletes from 200 countries and territories.

All Honda vehicles to be provided as official vehicles will feature a special wrap designed exclusively for the WHC Tokyo 25.

For instance, to support men’s and women’s marathon races, the CR-V e:FCEV fuel cell vehicle will serve as the Chief Judge’s vehicle, and N-Van e: commercial-use mini-EV equipped with Seiko timing equipment will serve as the official timing vehicle.

Honda will also provide the Power Exporter e: 6000 and Power Exporter e: 9000 portable external power output devices, which will take electricity from the N-Van e: and supply electricity to mat antennas stationed at each 5-kilometer point on the course to measure the 5-kilometer splits of each runner.

The CUV e: electric personal commuter model, powered by Honda’s swappable battery back, will be used as camera bikes.

Meanwhile, for transportation of WCH Tokyo 25 personnel and participants, Honda will provide the CR-V e:FCEV as well as the Step WGN e:HEV, Odyssey e:HEV, and ZR-V e:HEV.

Finally, to enhance mobility and help reduce the workload of WCH Tokyo 25 staff and other stakeholders supporting operation of the WCH Tokyo 25, will utilize the Honda Uni-One, a hands-free seated personal mobility device the user can steer simply by shifting body weight while sitting.
