Get Ready for VTEC Feel in Honda's New Electric Cars

Honda is actively seeking ways to infuse the exhilarating driving experience of its renowned gas-powered cars into future electric vehicles (EVs). Following the lead of Hyundai, which introduced a virtual engine mode in the Ioniq 5 N to replicate the sensation of a high-revving turbocharged vehicle, Honda aims to elevate this concept. The company plans to simulate the driving experiences of its most iconic models, ensuring that the thrill of driving remains intact in their electric offerings.

In a recent showcase, Honda demonstrated various driving modes designed to mimic the characteristics of legendary models like the 1992 NSX-R, 1999 S2000, 2022 NSX Type S, and 2023 Civic Type R. These modes not only recreate the signature sounds and sensations associated with these classic vehicles but also feature a dedicated VTEC button, emulating Honda’s renowned variable valve-timing system. Furthermore, Honda introduced a mode that even simulates the experience of flying in a HondaJet, paired with a digital gauge cluster that replicates the instrumentation of the original cars.

As automakers increasingly focus on enthusiast-oriented EVs, they face the challenge of preserving the engaging driving experiences that gas-powered cars provide. Electric motors often deliver a similar sensation across various models, resulting in a more homogeneous driving experience. By incorporating simulated combustion engine modes, Honda aims to differentiate its EVs, giving them unique personalities and driving dynamics that set them apart from competitors.

The strategy employed by Hyundai in its Ioniq 5 N has proven successful, and Honda is determined to offer a comparable sense of individuality in its future electric vehicles. This innovation allows Honda to retain its brand identity while adapting to the evolving automotive landscape. Although specific details about Honda's system remain limited, the company emphasizes that its upcoming EV lineup will focus on delivering “the joy of driving with the feeling of oneness with the vehicle.”

In summary, Honda's innovative approach aims to combine the excitement of traditional gas-powered vehicles with the benefits of electric mobility. By simulating iconic driving experiences and maintaining unique driving dynamics, Honda is set to create a new generation of EVs that honors its performance legacy while embracing sustainable technology.
