[SIZE="3"]Honda Develops World’s First Super Handling All-Wheel-Drive RL[/size]

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. today announced the development of a new Super Handling All-Wheel-Drive system, called SH-AWD, that provides cornering performance that responds faithfully to driver input, and outstanding vehicle stability. A world’s first, the SH-AWD system combines front-rear torque distribution control with independently regulated torque distribution to the left and right rear wheels to freely distribute the optimum amount of torque to all four wheels in accordance with driving conditions. The new system will be available this fall in the Acura RL (North America) and the Legend (Japan).


By monitoring driver input and driving conditions, the SH-AWD system determines the optimum front-rear and lateral (left-right) torque distribution. This information is then conveyed to the rear differential, where direct electromagnetic clutches continuously regulate and vary front-rear torque distribution between ratios of 30:70 and 70:30, and lateral torque distribution in the rear wheels between ratios of 100:0 and 0:100. Torque is used not only for propulsion, but for cornering as well, resulting in a significant enhancement in vehicle maneuverability.

The SH-AWD system is composed of sensors to detect steering angle, lateral g, and other vehicle information; an ECU; and the rear differential. The direct electromagnetic clutches inside the rear differential, another world’s first, employ electromagnets to obtain precise control over the multi-plate clutches. Built-in search coils monitor the gaps between the electromagnets and the magnetic body to achieve precise, continuously variable torque regulation.

The rear differential is also equipped with a built-in acceleration device, yet another world’s first. During cornering, the track of the outside rear wheel normally falls outside the average of the tracks of the front wheels. The outside rear wheel does not rotate fast enough to keep up with the front wheels, preventing efficient transmission of torque. To counteract this problem, the SH-AWD acceleration device alters the gearing to speed up the outside rear wheel’s rotation relative to the front wheels. This reduces torque transmission losses and significantly improves vehicle maneuverability.

At Honda, driving pleasure is regarded as one of the most important factors in vehicle development. The new SH-AWD system features “feed-forward” control, which utilizes the degree of driver input to determine appropriate torque distribution. This results in a super-neutral steering feel that responds with optimal faithfulness to the driver’s handling of the steering wheel, realizing outstanding driving comfort and stability.

Torque Distribution Regulation

Acceleration during cornering
Torque to the rear wheels is continuously varied to supply up to 100% to the outside wheel and 0% to the inside wheel. This creates an inward yaw moment, significantly improving vehicle handling.
*Yaw moment is turning torque relative to the vertical axis running through the vehicle’s center of gravity.

Deceleration during cornering (throttle closed)
Torque to the outside rear wheel is freely varied to change from an inward to an outward yaw moment, ensuring vehicle stability at all times.

Straight-line driving
Front-rear torque distribution is regulated for optimum performance in accordance with the amount of torque produced. During rapid acceleration the load on the front wheels is reduced; conversely, rear-wheel load is reduced during cruising. The result is stable driving at all times.


System Configuration

World’s first direct electromagnetic clutch
An electromagnetic coil (electromagnet) attracts a magnetic body which, in turn, presses on the multi-plate clutch to facilitate torque transmission. A compact clutch unit, equipped with a planetary gear step-up mechanism to increase torque, permits transmission of substantial amounts of torque. A built-in search coil monitors the gap between the electromagnetic coil and the magnetic body. Current flow in the electromagnetic clutch is then adjusted to achieve highly precise torque regulation.

Acceleration device
During straight-ahead driving, the twin-pinion planetary carrier spins in synchronization with the propeller shaft, causing the front and rear wheels to turn at the same speed. When the vehicle enters a curve, however, the planetary carrier is locked to the case, releasing the device from synchronization with the propeller shaft and accelerating the rotation speed of the rear wheels. A hydraulic actuator which turns the clutches on and off, and a one-way clutch are included in this compact configuration.

Sensors, ECU
The input of steering angle, lateral g, yaw rate, wheel speed and other sensors monitor driver input, vehicle demeanor, and driving conditions such that the SH-AWD ECU can calculate ideal torque distribution.

yep....Honda does come with some smart shit.....only, Mitsu en Suba have been offering awd, acd, and the mentioned AYC technology for some time now....hmmmm and it seems because of Honda they decided to step it up with the next EVO X.....let's see....what's next BIPM?(built in popcorn machine)
Damn, almost forgot the system in the Nissan Skyline, which even today, has not been duplicated.......

Well let's see what Honda cooks up next!
i'd like to see their v-8 & v-10's in road cars.......18-20.000rpm screamers....(let's raid their F1 department!!)
Que hubo Ladjie?

HAAAA!! Ami por bisa ma hanja chens di test e systema ey dia mi a hasi e programa di tv over di e new Acura Legend. Bisabo berdad, that shit rocks. Mi a test e na e bocht grandi ora bo ta bayendo pa tierra del sol via e caminda di Noord (se whiteshark, dilanti bo kas ney) anto lora links bay righting malmok. Mi no ta korda precies, pero mi a drenta e bocht like at 65 mph, ora mi a sinti e handling basically mi tabata trot den e bocht accelerating. Anto ora net bo sali di e bocht tin un median, pa round e off ma wanta e wiel full y koy e median banda links pa hasi e bocht overall mas skerpi. Mi tabata hopi impressed mes cu e cornering di e Legend. Bad ass car, and you cops can kiss my ass.

Conjo e Acura Legend ey ta AWD Max? Esey si mi no tabata sa. Conjo porfin Honda a bin cu AWD, a yega tempo om. EVO cu Subbies lo hanja basta dolor di cabez cu nan. Unico cos ta cu mi nunca wak un Honda den WRC.

yup, and you won't see Mitsu and Subaru in F1 either.........

yup, and you won't see Mitsu and Subaru in F1 either.........

True ... Mi ta duda, mane cu Mitsubishi tin problema nan financiero, mi ta duda elo bai invest den F1.

[GinoX]

But you DO see them often in DTM and BTCC. Mi gusta wak e tontonei core eiden. 300hp, 8500 imposed rpm limit, still with catalitic converter n/a 4cyl.... hopi nice.

Honda Civic Mugen RR sold 300 cars in 10mins

The Honda Civic Mugen RR (based on the new JDM Honda Civic Type R) is limited to a total production run of 300 cars. Japanese track fiends with ¥4.7million to spend on a spiffy, street-legal time attack weapon are its target audience -- and a receptive one at that. On September 14th at 9:00 AM local time in Japan, reservations for Mugen's ultimate Type R officially began being taken. By 9:10 AM, according to the Japanese enthusiast site, Carview, the 300th reservation was placed. However you want to parse the numbers (we're sure additional reservations were taken, in case some prospective buyers bail out), one thing's certain: all 300 cars are spoken for well in advance of the expected January delivery date.

Those lucky enough to secure the Mugen RR receive a lighter, more powerful and track-tuned Civic Type R that in the right hands is capable of lapping Japan's Tsukuba circuit in 1:06:38. At least that's what the folks at Mugen were able to wring out of it. We're sure some of the car's buyers will be looking to top that number as soon as they have a chance. With this thing, life is a driving game, and Time Attack mode is always on.

Finally Back??? Not What Crx Fanatics Hoped For But it's Just The Concept Car..

Vuurwerk: Honda CR-Z
24 oktober 2007 Source: autoweek.nl

Gisteren hadden we het er al over: een concept-car voor een spirituele opvolger van de Honda CRX. Hier hebben we de eerste offici묥 foto van het studiemodel, dat de naam CR-Z heeft meegekregen.
De naam spreekt boekdelen: Honda hint nadrukkelijk naar de CRX, de uiterst populaire sportwagen uit de jaren ’80 en ’90. De naam CR-Z staat voor ‘Compact Renaissance Zero’. De sportwagen maakt gebruik van hybridetechnologie, volgens Honda goed voor veel koppel.
De CR-Z staat op 19 inch lichtmetalen wielen, waarachter rode Brembo remklauwen schuilgaan. Voor de koplampen gebruikt Honda LED-technologie. Het carrosseriedeel tussen de achterlichten is van glas, voor een beter zicht naar achteren.
Het interieur is volgens Honda ’high-tech and sporty’. Achter het sportstuur zit prominent de grote toerenteller met middenin een digitale snelheidsmeter.


CRX-fans kunnen er voor gaan sparen, de Honda CR-Z gaat eind 2009 in productie. En voor de hybride-aandrijflijn die in de conceptcar zit, geldt hetzelfde.Zeker van achteren lijkt de Honda CR-Z op de CRX van eind jaren tachtig, een model dat voor vele jonge liefhebbers nog steeds tot de verbeelding spreekt. Honda noemt de studie een Hybrid Sports Car. Welke aandrijflijn er precies in zit vermelden de Japanners nog niet, in Japan werd ons wel verteld dat de Compact Renaissance Zero eind 2009 met een dergelijke techniek leverbaar wordt. Het studiemodel staat op 19 inch wielen en heeft een hightechinterieur dat veel trekken vertoont van het Civic-dashboard. De CR-Z staat op 19 inch wielen, iets wat vele huidige CRX-rijders al het water in de mond zal doen lopen.
