They are models of car, refering to engine, chassis and trim specs.

It's dependant on what country your in as to what models where made avliable.
The VTi badge is currently popular with Honda, it has been since about 95, but was used as early as 92. Iv seen it used on the Prelude, Integra, Civic and Accord, and everyone had a differnt engine in it.
And I know a NZ Spec VTi Civic is differnt to a Japanese spec VTi Civic, which is differnt to an Australian spec VTi etc etc.

Its also off topic, if you want to learn more then start with a search, there are threads in the Honda section with lots of details on differnt models, and if that fails start a thread in the right place.


This thread is about VTEC and related or similar systems used by Honda and other manufactors.

Re: Honda's VTEC.

Thought i would just add this short and easy explaned

VTEC (which stands for Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) is an electronic and mechanical system in some Honda engines that allows the engine to effectively have multiple camshafts.
As the engine moves into different rpm ranges, the engine's computer can activate alternate lobes on the camshaft and change the cam's timing. In this way, the engine gets the best features of low-speed and high-speed camshafts in the same engine.
