New Honda Legend
The new Honda Legend is here. Offering a tantalising combination of breathtaking performance and lavish design. The culmination of years of development, the new Legend is a showcase for Honda innovations. From its world-beating handling system to its sumptuously appointed interior, it’s packed with features.
Whatever road you’re travelling on in the new Legend, it’s more than capable of cruising at a very generous tempo indeed. And that’s whether you’re simply maintaining speed on uphill grinds, or requiring an extra burst of power when overtaking say, a triple-semi. All thanks to the astonishing 217kW of power and 351Nm of torque produced by its 24 valve, 3.5 litre, SOHC VTEC V6 engine.
Or, put another way, the most powerful production engine we’ve ever built.
With so much power in your hands, it’s comforting to know the Legend has safety to match. An array of advanced technologies ensure safe braking in all conditions. While Honda innovations like Advanced Compatibility Engineering and G-Force Control technology provide outstanding structural safety. These innovations combined with multiple airbags, deliver optimum occupant protection in the event of a collision. What’s more, a rear-mounted video camera and in-dash monitor even allow for safer reversing.
As you can see, the new Legend’s exterior styling perfectly complements its high-performance character. But of course, its exterior design features aren’t just for show. Take the Legend’s Active Front lighting System (AFS) and High Intensity Discharge headlights. Depending on which way the car is turning, AFS enables either one of the ‘daylight-like’ headlights to swivel outwards, to light up larger areas of road surface on bends.
You will also experience Honda’s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive. The world’s first system to distribute power not only between the front and rear wheels, but also between the left and right rear wheels. In addition the outside rear wheel can be sped up to generate greater turning force in a tight corner.
Ah, the power of lateral thinking.
The new Honda Legend - this may well be the ultimate luxury performer.
