The 1996-1999 Accord 5 door hatchback was modeled by Onyx/Vitesse only in Touring car from – reusing the same casting for 4 seasons and a few different racing series (British, Belgian, Italian, US and German). I’ve not verified but I believe Onyx had every team/driver/series covered!
These were all produced in limited editions of about 2500. Most models came with numbered certificates.
As some of the detailed photos below show, not bad for a relatively low cost model by contemporary standards.

It was interesting that this car was fielded since the 5 door hatchback was never sold in the US. The front end of this car looks more like the prior Prelude than any Accord sold in the US.
