This is a '98 Honda Prelude SiR. Introduced in 1996, this was the very last version of the Honda Prelude. The car was a stylistic change from the previous Prelude, featuring new headlamps and squarish bodywork that resembled many other Hondas at the time; this was also done in an attempt to curb the slowing sales of the previous generation Prelude. Numerous trim levels existed, including some marketed for export only. The Type S, as shown here, uses a 2.2L H22A inline-4 producing 217 BHP. Production ended in 2001.
Now this casting was designed by the late Ryu Asada and introduced in 2020. This casting has had six known releases, the last being in 2021.
A curiosity: QIKLUDE license plate.
