Acura NSX EV Concept

Acura will campaign an all-electric, NSX-inspired EV Concept in the Electric Modified Class at the 2016 Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. Crafted with a further evolution of the experimental, all-electric, 4-motor Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®) powertrain that won 2015's Pikes Peak Challenge Exhibition class, it will be driven by Tetsuya Yamano, who campaigned last year's CR-Z-based electric prototype. The vehicle's Electric SH-AWD powertrain produces three times the total system output of the prototype and is mated to the NSX body. "We've been tuning the car for several weeks at Pikes and have advanced its performance significantly," said Tetsuya Yamano. "We're honored to be running at Pikes in this historical, anniversary year - an event respected by racing fans all over the world." 4-Motor Development Honda R&D has been perfecting its "super handling" technology for more than two decades in the pursuit of ideal vehicle handling. By employing separate Twin Motor Units (TMUs), the brains of Sport Hybrid SH-AWD, on each axle, Acura has been able to achieve independent torque distribution to all four corners - true four-wheel torque vectoring. Based on the learnings from last year's race, the team updated the system management of the powertrain for more precise thrust at each wheel. Acura's Sport Hybrid SH-AWD technology utilizes the highly responsive acceleration characteristics and regeneration capability of electric motors to further advance the torque vectoring systems currently applied to NSX, and available on RLX and the upcoming 2017 MDX. Moreover, the system enables optimal handling characteristics in varying driving situations by coordinating and managing all dynamic systems, including Electronic Power Steering (EPS), Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) and Sport Hybrid SH-AWD. With its high-output electric motors and 4-motor torque vectoring, the Concept should be equipped to take on the 156 complex corners on the drive up Pikes Peak.
