About the Honda Legend KA7
The second-generation KA7 Legend was Honda's definitive statement in the executive luxury segment, featuring a unique longitudinal front-wheel-drive layout for improved weight distribution. Developed during Japan's bubble economy, it benefited from engineering insights gained during the NSX project, including a sophisticated double-wishbone suspension at all four corners. While it lacked the V8 of its German rivals, the C32A V6 was praised for its smoothness and linear power delivery. Today, it is remembered as a high-water mark for Honda build quality and understated Japanese luxury.
