That is a very ambitious claim. If you have ever ridden in one or driven one...you would know there is absolutely shit sporty about that car.

In other parts of the world there were many Honda Legend 2.0Ti produced. They carried about 188HP. V6 2.0L w/Turbo, those WERE real. Around the same time it is "Claimed" that Honda developed 250, 2.7TT Honda Legends as a test in Japan. They are SAID to produce close to 270HP. Now, those have never been confirmed, the 2.0Ti has however.

Later on, Honda discovered Turbo was not a big hit in Japan, poor fuel economy. So they left Turbos to F1 vehicles and such.

From then on, Honda decided they would develop new technologies, they would attempt to reach turbo output levels, without the sacrafice of all that fuel, making the engine more efficient instead. VTEC was born.
In total there have been 2 consumer honda cars with turbo, 3 if you count the mythical 2.7TT Legend.

The first two:
Honda City Life (Funny looking little thing in Japan)
Honda Legend 2.0Ti (188HP V6 Turbo)


its from 02' so the RDX is not mentioned.


the honda city is very funny looking :lol: wonder why they made that Turbo? cuz it looks like a clown car.lol. the RDX is an SUV so that out.
V-tec cud never be the same as turbo , its GREAT!! but still turbo desimates all.
thats jus my opinion
hearing V-tec open is sick!! but hearing boost releasing through the blowoff is priceless .....
