Acura&#8217;s groundbreaking SH-AWD\u00ae technology has long set the bar for performance-enhancing torque vectoring AWD and is now offered on five of six Acura models in either mechanical (SH-AWD) or electric (Sport Hybrid SH-AWD) form. Additionally, Acura will surpass the one-million mark in global sales of SH-AWD\u00ae-equipped vehicles later this year.<\/p>\n<div id=\"prni_dvprnevid7902left\" title=\"Acura Marks 15th Anniversary of Super Handling All-Wheel Drive\u2122\" style=\"WIDTH: 100%; TEXT-ALIGN: left\" dir=\"ltr\"><object id=\"prnevid7902left\" name=\"prnevid7902left\" width=\"512\" height=\"288\" align=\"middle\" data=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OuvzVh5v9a8\"><\/object><\/div>\n<p>In 2004, the first generation of Acura SH-AWD debuted on the 2005 RL sedan as the world&#8217;s first torque-vectoring all-wheel drive system. The technology, which dynamically distributes engine torque for enhanced handling and cornering performance, has been continuously advanced through multiple generations of development and deployed on Acura&#8217;s most popular models. The newest and most powerful generation of mechanical Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) debuted on the 2019 RDX in <span class=\"xn-chron\">June 2018<\/span>, boasting 40 percent more torque capacity at the rear axle, quicker front-to-rear torque transfer and 30 percent quicker transfer of torque between the left and right rear wheels. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Acura SH-AWD was expanded into the electrified realm with the launch of Sport Hybrid SH-AWD in the 2014 RLX Sport Hybrid. This was followed by the second generation NSX, the only electrified supercar on sale today, and 2017 MDX Sport Hybrid. Sport Hybrid SH-AWD utilizes instantly available electric motor torque to elevate dynamic performance and efficiency. The Acura MDX and RLX apply a rear-mounted Twin Motor Unit (TMU) and front-mounted gas-electric hybrid engine, while the Acura NSX features a unique mid-engine sports car configuration with a front-mounted TMU. Despite configuration differences, all three Sport Hybrid models apply the same technology and utilize many of the same components across supercar, SUV and sedan. <\/p>\n<p><b>Acura SH-AWD: Through the Years<\/b> <\/p>\n<div>\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"1\" class=\"prntblns\">\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" class=\"prnsbts prnrbrs prnvab prnsbbs prnpl6 prnsbls prnpr6\">\n<p class=\"prnews_p\"><span class=\"prnews_span\"><b>1<sup>st<\/sup> Generation SH-AWD<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"prngen3\">\n<p class=\"prnews_p\"><span class=\"prnews_span\">Applied on:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"prnsbt1 prnrbrs prnvab prnsbbs prnpl6 prnsbl1 prnpr6\">\n<p class=\"prnews_p\"><span class=\"prnews_span\">About:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"prngen5\">\n<p class=\"prnews_p\"><span class=\"prnews_span\">RL (2005-2012)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"prngen6\">\n<p class=\"prnews_p\"><span class=\"prnews_span\">The world&#8217;s first all-wheel drive platform that actively and continually distributes torque not only to enhance traction, but also to elevate cornering performance.
