Sixty years ago, on October 24th, 1965, something very special happened at the Mexican Grand Prix: Richie Ginther took the checkered flag in the Honda RA272, the first time a Japanese manufacturer had ever won a Formula One race, and Honda built the entire car in-house, from chassis to engine. Casio has released a new Edifice collaboration, the ECB-2300HR-1A, which is a watch designed to evoke that moment of triumph while yet offering all of the modern you’d expect.
Back in 1990, Honda’s first NSX was a sight to behold, with sharp lines that made the car feel like it was slicing through the air as lightly as a scalpel. Over three decades later, the same style and soul are given fresh life as the Tensei NSX. This car is the result of a collaboration between Pininfarina’s design team and JAS Motorsport’s engineers, who have done wonders with a donor chassis from the first-generation NSX, dressing it up in a carbon fiber body that is equal parts tribute to the old car and a step forward.
Evening falls in Houston, and with it comes word of a ghost from the golden period of Japanese engineering: a 1995 Honda NSX-R, chassis # NA1-1300340, which is now listed on BaT. This right-hand drive coupe, number 458 in a small batch of only 483 produced for the domestic market, has recently arrived in the United States, still with 19,000 kilometers on the clock.
Motorcycles have a way of pushing the limits and Honda just showed the crowd why they’re at the forefront. They unveiled the V3R 900 E-Compressor Prototype at EICMA 2025 in Milan, an incredible machine which takes their signature V3 engine and teams it up with an electric compressor. This isn’t some far-fetched fantasy of the future; Honda engineers have been experimenting with the concept since last year’s show, wow everyone with a bare engine before revealing the finished product. If you’re one of those riders who craves quick torque, the kind that gets you going from a standstill, this thing has a lot to be thrilled about.
Honda unveiled the EV Outlier Concept at the 2025 Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo, a motorcycle that goes beyond just swapping gas engines for batteries. Designers wanted to build something unconstrained by conventional rules, using ideas from Honda’s global teams. The project leader, Yuya Tsutsumi, said they wanted to deliver surprises through characteristics only electrification allows.
Honda has launched the new ADV Edition of the Elevate SUV in India. At first glance, it looks like a beast, with orange stripes, blacked out trim and decals that scream adventure. But when you open the door, you’ll see a familiar face. Same old front-wheel drive, 119 horsepower engine and practical city friendly attitude that will never get you into trouble on a muddy track.
Japanese Honda dealers sell the Civic Type R for around $40,000 at invoice, while Porsche starts the 718 Boxster at $53,000. On paper, the mid-engine roadster wins the prestige battle. Then Mugen releases its Group.B catalog. When all the options are added up, the Honda’s price is over $103,000 (including the Type R itself), almost double the base price of the Boxster and enough to buy a loaded GTS 4.0 with change to spare.
Honda just unveiled the Super-ONE Prototype at the Japan Mobility Show, a sleek little electric hatchback that can be both a city charmer and a weekend getaway vehicle. It all started with the Super EV Concept, which drew public notice at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July. Now, with the camouflage stripped away and in the spotlight, the prototype showcases how Honda plans to bring this car to market next year. Unfortunately for the US, there’s been complete radio silence thus far, which stings even more when you’ve been patiently waiting for a compact plug-in since the Honda e vanished a few years ago.
A streamlined dream was created forty years ago, called the HP-X, when Honda teamed up with Pininfarina, resulting in one of the most renowned sports cars in history. Jump ahead to the present day, and the same crew has teamed up again, this time with JAS Motorsport from Italy. What’s their focus? The original Honda NSX, a 1990 marvel, with its rare combination of everyday practicality and supercar performance.
