There are cars that are beautiful, cars that are fast — and then there is the Honda CRX VTEC 1.6 ME Edition. A car so special, it borders on the mythical. This particular example, with only 5,500 kilometers, represents a piece of automotive history that can hardly be matched. Unique is not a sales pitch here. It’s a statement of fact. The ME Edition was produced in extremely limited numbers and it is assumed that only 48 units were ever built by the tuning division of Autohaus Manfred Ernst in Germany, a former authorized Honda dealer in the 1990s. It was a time when Honda’s engineering precision met German craftsmanship, creating something truly extraordinary: Japanese innovation refined with European meticulousness. Beneath the hood lies the beating heart of this coupe: the legendary 1.6-liter DOHC VTEC engine (B16A1). This four-cylinder was nothing short of revolutionary in its day. With Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC), Honda achieved what few dared to dream — a powerplant that delivered both silky efficiency at low revs and explosive performance at high rpm. 150 horsepower at 7,600 rpm was a magical figure for a naturally aspirated 1.6-liter engine in 1992. From the start, the CRX had a reputation for pure driving joy — compact, lightweight, and razor-sharp in its reactions. But the VTEC version elevated that concept into something approaching perfection. With a four-wheel double wishbone suspension, a design straight from the racetrack, the CRX VTEC offered balance, agility, and steering precision that many modern sports cars still struggle to match. What sets the ME Edition apart is its refined tuning. Autohaus Manfred Ernst enhanced aerodynamics, optimized the chassis, and fine-tuned the engine components. Each unit was hand-built and individually inspected — a level of care rarely seen today. This particular car, preserved in the private collection of a Honda dealer for more than 30 years, remains in virtually new condition. Complete with its original handbooks and stamped service record, it is a true collector’s gem. Inside, the CRX is a masterclass in early ’90s Honda design — ergonomic, purposeful, and utterly driver-focused. No unnecessary distractions, just pure mechanical engagement. The low seating position, the short gear throw, the direct steering — everything connects you to the machine. The Honda CRX VTEC 1.6 ME Edition is more than a rare classic. It’s a time capsule from an era when performance was engineered through passion, not programmed through software. A car that reminds you what driving truly means: raw, honest, and exhilarating. With only 5,500 kilometers, this may very well be the best-preserved ME Edition in existence — a tribute to Honda’s golden age and a rare opportunity to, quite literally, sit behind the wheel of history.
