There are no turbocharged Preludes from the factory. The maximum power is in the fifth generation at 200 hp. I had a seventh generation EX V6 and power was quite good.

Should this have happened? - Car Talk Community

6 cylinder vs. 4 cylinder turbo - Car Talk Community
2008年8月11日 · There are a lot of “ifs” here. Personally, I would chose a 6 cylinder non-turbo car over a 4 cylinder turbo, in gas or diesel. Turbos on gas engines are not necessarily more troublesome.
