2k: 4 Wheel Steer: 1988 Honda Prelude 2.0 Si 4WS

In 1987 Road and Track tested Honda's new Prelude 2.0Si and found that it outperformed every other car (included Ferrari 328, Porsche 911, C4 Corvette) that year on the 700-ft slalom with a speed of 65.5 mph.  How could a front-wheel-drive Japanese sports coupe out slalom all of the the wide/sticky tire equipped competition? Simply put, it cheated.  The 2.0Si introduced the world's first active four wheel steering system (called 4WS) for any mass produced car -- and turned the little prelude into a cone killing machine by swinging the rear wheels around like a forklift.  Find this 1988 Honda Prelude Si 4WS here on eBay currently for $1,200 reserve-not-met with a few hours to go, located in Lakeport, CA.
