Rumours has been saying that Honda is developing new engine called A-Vtec (advanced VTEC). the new engine might be inspired by the BMW innovative valvetronic system which controls the variable lift continously rather than steped like the present VTEC or i-VTEC. The technology will a simple, compact, and contain minimum moving parts and easily adjust.
Now, when most of the new engine technology uses DOHC system, the A-VTEC will be used in SOHC engine. Even so, it is said that the engine will have a similar characteristic as the DOHC. The variable lift duration will offer the same peak as in DOHC i-VTEC. The engine is still under development, but expect it to be launch in near future.
