Just kidding, but an interesting option for all you H1 guys, if you could make it work...

"By monitoring driver input and driving conditions,"

That kind of sentence always makes me nervous...

 

Leave it to honda to do something electronically that could have been accomplished more effectively and for less money mechanically.

I hope this works out better than their last "SH" endeavor.

 

I'm hoping it's an april f00ls joke

 

looks heavy.

Don't you mean leave it to Honda to copy what Nissan's been doing for years? My guess is that they want to compete with the G35 AWD or whatever they're calling it.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. It is dated April 1, 2004.

 

I don't remember where I saw it but there was a leak at the Geneva auto show about the more advanced version of this same concept, not yet slated for production. The internal designation is rumored to be "Super Handling and Improved Traction Wheel Acceleration Dynamics" system, or SHITWAD.

This system superceded the technically interesting but dangerous Boron-Uranium Traction Limit On-Demand Electronics (BUTLODE) module and the ultra-expensive Advanced Synthetic Sonar-Controlled Ride Attitude Controller (ASSCRAC).

You've all read about the DIKHOLE - the Dynamic Improved Kinetics Handling Optimizer (Limited Edition) - and I don't need to explain to this group the benefits of the Mugen-developed Normally Uncoupled Traction-Shifting Automatic Clutch (NUTSAC).

That was a pretty SH-AWD-y post, btw...

 

Super funny Knestis
