[ Engine & transmission ]
Because the refreshing running is actualized, preparing 3 types of PGM - FI specification and dual cab specification in the DOHC VTEC engine and the advanced high efficiency hyper 16 valve engine of the super high efficiency which had the variable valve timing lift mechanism of HONDA originality.

DOHC VTEC engine
HONDA produces effect on engine efficiency largely, valve timing (opening and closing time) with the ƒoƒ‹ƒuƒŠƒt ƒg quantity (the height which is opened) you pay attention. It unites the valve timing lift of the practical engine, and the valve timing lift which is approached to also the engine for race/lace it changes automatically in compliance with operating condition, developing the worldwide first variable valve timing lift mechanism which can pull out high rotary Takaide power without designating low and medium-speed efficiency as sacrifice. It is something which is loaded onto this ƒCƒ“ƒeƒOƒ‰ for the first time as DOHC VTEC.
As for this DOHC VTEC, the fact that sucking/absorbing exhaust side respectively already it has one cam and the rocker arm is major feature vis-a-vis the usual DOHC engine, inhalation side 3, give the profile which differs to the cam scene exhaust side 3 respectively, the center the cam for high speed, setting both sides as the cam for low speed. The cam of these 2 types ECU (electronic control unit) with sensing does engine rpm speed engine load vehicle speed and the like, according to moment by moment operational circumstance operation the hydraulic piston. Instantaneously the high-speed time and the low-speed time, it is something which changes valve timing and the lift quantity which are optimum to each one.
Because of this, while making the sharp response only of the natural inhalation which is not to the supercharger attaching of the turbocharger show and the like, per liter 100 horsepower, achieving the wonderful high power of the highest output 160 horsepower at aerodynamic volume displacement 1. 6l. Furthermore, without also torque quality in the low and medium-speed limits compromising ƒŒƒbƒhƒ][ ƒ“ you can blow at a stroke to 8 and 000 revolutions and quite actualizing the compatibility with the high-speed efficiency which keeps rising at high level.

Furthermore, in order to be formed this engine, it throws the process technology and numerous new material of super precision and such as ultraprecise mirror surface finished crank shaft, new high intensity small axial valve and the piston cooling oil jet which are a match to also the racing engine achieving high reliability. Full electronic control (PGM) 2WAY4 fast automatic < dual mode lockup V = (X Si RSi)
New development the compact 3 axial parallel type transmission which shows nimble takeoff acceleration efficiency. In addition, it makes the lockup operating space expand to when decelerating, linear adopting the dual mode lockup control which brings deceleration feeling. In addition, also feeling when shifting gear furthermore with the control and the like of the speed change which uses the vacuum inside the intake manifold improvement.

[ Suspension ]
4 wheel ƒ_ƒuƒ‹ƒEƒCƒbƒV?cƒ{[ƒ“ƒTƒXƒyƒ“ƒVƒ‡ƒ“
ƒXƒ|[ƒeƒB 4 wheel ƒ_ƒuƒ‹ƒEƒCƒbƒV?cƒ{[ƒ“ƒTƒXƒyƒ“ƒVƒ‡ƒ“ which bears the running and comfortable riding comfort (multi-link system) you adopt the rear for all car.
HONDA individual ƒ_ƒuƒ‹ƒEƒCƒbƒV?cƒ{[ƒ“ suspension furthermore thoroughness tuning. While with modification of ƒAƒ‰ƒCƒƒ“ƒg quality and increase in wheel stroke the wheel base 100mm and front tread 60mm (3 doors) assuring enlargement, coupled with the super long wheel base & the wide-tread design and high-speed stability, improving cornering efficiency actualizing comfortable riding comfort at high level.
In addition, the gas charging damper of new design valve adoption (the front) and introducing the special form bush which installs the metal ring in sandwich inside the rubber of ƒƒAƒA[ ƒ€ of rear suspension. Actualizing maneuverability and the comfortable riding comfort which is the sense of security.

[ Power steering ]
Vehicle speed application/response dynamic type linear assist power steering (XSi)
Corresponding to vehicle speed from low speed to high speed, new adoption the vehicle speed application/response dynamic type linear assist power steering which controls the power assist quantity continually. Being always natural, guaranteeing feeling good steering feeling.

[ Exterior ]
The sense of security the wedge Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers, europe forum of the low/row & wide it overflows
Adopting the sash less door and the large-sized tertiary curved surface glass and the slim pillar etc… Insisting the forum which is refined with ƒXƒ|[ƒeƒB by the full flash surface conversion which it is thorough.

[ Interior ]
ƒXƒ|[ƒeƒB pursuing the liberal passenger space and the quality rich functional beauty which give relaxing to the person who rides also in. The interior total height made 20mm low with 3 door coupes by comparison with the old model in spite, with the second look at floor form and the like with the front 25mm making also the interior high 5mm and head clearance expand, guaranteeing the comfortable portable space. Furthermore, as for control panel in curved form, large-sized center console to driver side direction ‚¯ ‚Ä offset. Furthermore, the instrument panel of meter visor one somatotype PCV of soft feeling (polyvinyl chloride) makes the lap round design which is used in the epidermal pad, high quality of this leather ƒV ƒ{ feeling is with precise revolution copying ƒVƒ{ manufacturing method and expresses faithfully.

Roll center characteristics

Arm Deflection under high speed braking

When braking high stability is actualized,
Front L letter type lower arm.
Adopting the lower arm system of the L letter type which in one beam is installed with one body. You hold down behavior change, maintaining the braking attitude which is stabilized. At the time of braking high control characteristic is obtained. In addition, the point where front and back input from the tire is caught it becomes possible, holds down vibration transmission to the cabin to minimum and has contributed to also the improvement of riding comfort to set to the position where rigidity is high. At the time of front suspension braking behavior figure

Straight advancing characteristic it improves,
ƒlƒKƒeƒBƒuƒXƒNƒ‰ƒu offset front.
When when travelling in the road surface where it becomes rough and the time etc. of braking in the road surface where ƒÊ differs in left and right, the tire receives the disturbance even, because behavior of the car is made to stabilize, the ƒlƒKƒeƒBƒuƒXƒNƒ‰ƒu offset was adopted on the front.

Vis-a-vis the disturbance high toughness is shown
It is low roll center - high.
Roll center the front - 46mm it lowers high, with the modification in setting angle of each link (the rear increased -17mm) and also, rebound stroke 25mm. As a result, it maintains the moderate roll even at the time of cornering, maintaining high road-hugging. When it raises traction efficiency, being gentle even in the road surface which becomes rough, it brings the cornering which it stabilizes, simultaneously, it guarantees the certain information from the steering wheel. It is low roll center - the high explanation figure

Frame stucture

While maturing the basis, it raised the strength of the section,
High rigid monocoque body.
The body, when it is the parent which supports everything of the engine and the chassis etc. simultaneously, riding comfort, is the structure which becomes the foundation of all ones such as operation stability, silent characteristic and safety. Those where it requested with body development of new ƒCƒ“ƒeƒOƒ‰, by the fact that the right talent right place is pursued, high rigidity were to build up the monocoque body e.g., guaranty and connection of necessary cross section size are done securely without destroying the basis, including the combination of the efficient griddle, as a structure. In order to achieve these, improvement of strength itself of the frame was assured with the computer analysis which it is thorough. Insert the gusset in the rear frame end on that, in order not to become the interference of sight and getting on and off, round point to the pillar, the device that was done you insert the rigid component. In addition, ƒXƒeƒBƒtƒi[ (the stiffener) it arranges pillar in the whole front, also the center pillar installing ƒXƒeƒBƒtƒi[ which is connected with top and bottom one body from the side sill to the side roof rail. Rigidity of the section is raised e.g., rigidity of the cabin is raised.

Monocoque body computer analytical figure

This is our legacy

So is the DA bigger or smaller than the DC?

Bigger… unfortunately… But with less weight
