2011 Honda
Key Concepts
Direct Fuel Injection (DFI)
Direct Fuel Injection is a fuel delivery system that injects fuel directly into the engine cylinders. In 2011 Honda introduced DFI on its V6 engines, which improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.
Dual VTEC
Dual Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (Dual VTEC) is a valve timing control system that optimizes engine performance by adjusting the valve lift and timing. Honda introduced Dual VTEC on its V6 engines in 2008, which improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
Electronic Stability Control is a safety feature that helps the vehicle stay stable and on course. In 2011 Honda introduced ESC on its vehicles, which improved safety and reduced the risk of accidents.
