VTEC stands for "variable valve timing and lift electronic control." I guess Honda knew VTEC was easier to say than VVTALEC and it probably looks better as a sticker on the side of a car. VTEC allows for differing cam profiles, meaning different valve lift and duration, depending on the engine RPM. This video will dissect a Honda Civic Type R engine to show the ins and outs of how VTEC works. The Type R, unlike many previous performance Honda engines, only has VTEC on the exhaust side, with just

15K views · 75 reactions | Honda just put VTEC in an EV. It showed off a prototype engine and drivetrain simulation that vibrates, sounds, and shifts like an S2000, a Civic Type R, or either NSX. At high "RPMs," it also simulates the increased valve lift of VTEC. This tech could make it to the company's upcoming 0 Series EVs. Which simulated car would you want to try? | InsideEVs | Facebook
