Prelude's available Sequential SportShift 4-speed automatic transmission offers the shift-it-yourself fun and performance of a manual transmission, with the ease and driving convenience of an automatic for stop-and-go city traffic.
The Prelude's 4-wheel double wishbone suspension delivers outstanding handling and control with a smooth ride. Multiple links called "wishbones" precisely position the wheels and tires. This helps keep the tires more in contact with the road, especially in curves and over bumps.
Prelude's VTEC (variable valve timing and lift electronic control) system changes the intake and exhaust valves' lift, timing and duration so that they more closely match the engine's changing air-fuel needs. This results in more horsepower and torque at low and high engine speeds.
Multiple sensors in the Type SH's Active Torque Transfer System (ATTS) gauge the Prelude's cornering speed. A special differential unit then applies more engine power to the outside wheel. This helps reduce understeer for more handling precision while cornering.
The Acoustic Feedback Sound System uses a microphone within each rear speaker that listens to the sound and corrects any distortion it detects.
