Honda Heads Into 2012 On Full Throttle

The innovative and long-standing brand Honda, has developed over the years to become an iconic household name with a range of different vehicles under its belt.

From the 1972 Civic to the new Honda Civic 2012, the Civic car has undergone several facelifts in the past 30 years. Yet, it remains true to the very first design and holds the same values at heart.

The Honda Civic 2012 brings a new twist to the car and is an adaptation of their current range. The car offers more to drivers with new technologically advanced features and innovative design.

Performance is key and the latest model from Honda is at the forefront of car design allowing drivers to have the ultimate motoring experience. The powerful and strategic car handles the demands of 21st century living with ease. The new Honda Civic 2012 features the latest petrol engine with the reliable i-VTEC system. This has been redeveloped with specialist cylinder heads and a range of light components.

The diesel model, with an impressive 2.2 litre i-DTEC system, has had an extensive redesign which features a host of new materials and internal components. The new stronger and lighter engine also features a revised oil-flow system, which makes the car run smoother and more economically. The clever little car from Honda even shuts down the engine when the vehicle is stationary in a bid to save fuel when stuck in traffic. The new ‘Idle Stop’ system, which is available on manual modes, also restarts the car instantly when you are ready to commence your journey again.

Over 40 years of innovative design from some of the most highly regarded engineers have placed Honda at the top of the automotive industry. Since The first Honda motor in 1963, which was the S500, the car manufacturer has proved their excellence time and time again.

The original Honda car, which featured a twin-cam engine and chain-drive to the wheels, was a groundbreaking motor equipped with the latest technology. It was a stark warning to other car manufacturers of the exciting future Honda had in mind. During the 1970s Honda reached out to the American market who were in desperate need of improving their levels of vehicle exhaust emissions. They pushed forward the 1972 Honda Civic, which was an amazing new design unlike any other seen before.

Taking the world by storm, Honda soon became one of the most popular car brands, creating strong roots in the motor sport industry. Throughout the 1980s, whilst other manufacturers were playing catch up, Honda’s intuitive designs ensured that the company remained one step ahead. In 1988 Honda created the Variable Valve Timing and Electronic Lift Control otherwise known as VTEC. This is typically deigned to allow the engine to shift between two different camshafts for maximum performance and efficiency.

With the new VTEC Honda launched in the 1990s a range of new supercars, defining a generation of vehicles in the process. Since then Honda has gone on to create and develop trusted cars which define the modern world.
