🔥 Honda = Just an Engine? Think Again! 🏎💨

Many people say Honda is just an engine company that throws in a car for free. Why? Because Honda engines are truly unforgettable. Especially those legendary red-top DOHC VTEC engines—every single one of them is a masterpiece in the hearts of JDM fans. 💯

Even the L15B naturally aspirated engine in the Honda Fit and the L15B turbocharged engine in the 10th-gen Civicstand out in their class. Despite their small displacement, they outperform many rivals. So, does that mean Honda is just about engines? 🤔

If you think that, congratulations—you’re a fake Honda fan! 😆 Saying "Honda is just an engine company" is actually an insult! Yes, their VTEC engines are legendary, but Honda's engineering goes way beyond just engines!

🔍 Ever Heard of Honda’s ATTS & SH-AWD? 🚀💡

Honda is deeply committed to motorsports. While red-top engines brought race-inspired performance to road cars, pure speed isn't just about horsepower—it's also about handling.

🚗 Enter ATTS (Active Torque Transfer System)—Honda’s secret weapon for improving cornering performance! It first appeared on the Honda Prelude in the ‘90s, making it one of the best-handling FWD sports coupes of its time.

But Honda didn’t stop there... ATTS evolved into SH-AWD (Super Handling All-Wheel Drive)—a game-changing AWD system that debuted in 2004 on the 2nd-gen Acura RL. 💡

What Makes SH-AWD So Special? 🤯

Unlike traditional AWD systems, Honda’s SH-AWD has no center differential! Instead, Honda took a unique approach by combining:

✔️ A high-speed planetary gearset that increases rear axle torque compared to the front.
✔️ Electromagnetic clutches that dynamically shift power to the outer wheels in a turn.
✔️ Real-time torque vectoring, reducing understeer and enhancing handling precision.

🔧 In fact, in extreme conditions, SH-AWD can send 100% of rear-wheel torque to just ONE wheel! 😱 Try doing that with Quattro, ATTESA-ETS, or S-AWC!

How Does It Work? 🤔⚙️

Traditional AWD systems have three differentials—one at the front, center, and rear. This helps balance torque distribution between wheels, but it also makes the system slow to react.

🛠 Honda engineered SH-AWD differently:

1️⃣ No center differential ➝ Instead, rear axle torque is always higher thanks to a special gearbox in front of the rear differential.
2️⃣ Electromagnetic clutches ➝ Actively control torque distribution to each wheel in real time.
3️⃣ Torque vectoring ➝ During a turn, more power is sent to the outside rear wheel, helping push the car into the corner instead of understeering.

🚀 The result? Sharper handling, better control, and unmatched AWD performance!

SH-AWD = Better than LSD? 🤷‍♂️

💡 Unlike LSD (Limited Slip Differential), which only works AFTER a wheel slips, SH-AWD predicts and reacts before you lose traction!

👀 SH-AWD constantly monitors:
✅ Wheel speed
✅ Steering angle
✅ Lateral G-forces
✅ Yaw rate

And adjusts power in real-time! No waiting for slip—no loss of control! 🏁

🚗 Even on the highway, SH-AWD sends 90% of power to the front wheels for better fuel efficiency. But the moment you need grip? It dynamically shifts torque for maximum traction!

The Evolution of SH-AWD 🔄

Honda never stops innovating. Since its debut in 2004, SH-AWD has continued to evolve:

🔹 2013: 2nd-gen SH-AWD with even faster torque transfer.
🔹 2021: New SH-AWD for Acura MDX (stay tuned for details!).
🔹 Sport Hybrid SH-AWD: A hybrid version debuted on the Honda NSX—using electric motors for torque vectoring! ⚡🏎

👉 Next time someone says "Honda is just about engines", you know what to say! 😉
