Inspire
Inspire is sold in Japan only as a junior executive sedan. It is basically an American Accord but has a number of enhancement:
1. The 3.0 V6 produces slightly more power in Japanese tune (250hp, 218lbft). Besides, it has cylinder cut-off function to save fuel, similar to Mercedes' V8 and V12. When the car is cruising at leisure pace, the i-VTEC mechanism of one cylinder bank disconnects the rocker arms from cam lobes thus shuts off the valves. In this way, the V6 becomes effectively an inline-3-cylinder engine. This reduce pumping loss (the energy wasted to pump air into and out of the combustion chambers) and therefore save fuel. When the engine needs power, it will be reverted to 6-cylinder mode. The transition between 3 and 6 cylinders is so smooth that the driver will not aware.
2. To deal with the engine vibration generated in the 3-cylinder mode, the Inspire employs an active engine mount to compress and extend in sync to the vibration frequency.
3. To deal with the unrefined noise in 3-cylinder mode, Honda Inspire is the first production car employing active anti-noise control invented by Lotus in the 80s. The system uses microphones in the cabin to measure the engine noise and then reproduces an out-of-phase noise from loudspeakers to cancel the engine noise.
