🔧 Honda C-Series V6 VTEC Engine
Honda's C-series V6 VTEC engine powers two of Honda's most significant flagship vehicles: the NSX NA1 sports car and the Legend KB1 luxury saloon. The C30A in the NSX is a 3.0-litre 6-speed dry-sump unit producing 270 hp; the C35A in the Legend is a 3.5-litre 24-valve version. Both share Honda's VTEC variable valve timing on both intake and exhaust cams, and the same 90° V6 block family, demonstrating Honda's approach to sharing performance engine architecture across sports and flagship vehicles.
