Hot Wheels Premium - Hot Wheels Boulevard - '96 Honda Accord

The Honda Accord is a mid-sized car sold by Honda since 1976. Upscaled to mid-sized since 1989, the Accord has been one of Honda's best selling cars in the United States since 1989. The car is now in its eleventh generation. The Accord also competed in touring car competition, such as the Japanese Touring Car Championship and the British Touring Car Championships. In Japan, the Accord touring car was powered by a heavily modified 2.0L H22A inline-4 mated to a 6-speed sequential driving the front wheels; the car made about 306 horsepower. In its first year of competition in 1996, the Accord won eight races, with Naoki Hattori winning the championship; the car was modified for the next year with the engine upgraded using Formula One-style technology. The Accord would win eight more races in 1997, with Osamu Nakako winning the championship; following this year, the Accord was retired from competition in the JTCC. Nakako's championship-winning Accord is currently owned by the Honda Collection Hall.
