I mean the engine is more powerful than any NSX. Nevertheless, I still wondering why the max torque is available at a sky high 5000rpm? I guess the active AWD system will be fun.

This looks too much like an Accord. I wonder where Honda will place its TL now. They have quite the lineup for cars. Fit, Civic, RSX(Integra)/TSX (Euro Accord), Accord, TL, RL(Legend) The K20 in the Accord is a DOHC. Active torque transfer (ATTS) was first used in the 97 Prelude SH...but that was a FWD car.
