VTEC’s kick is just a light caress.

The true genius of VTEC is the fact that Honda’s marketing department latched onto it and presented it as somehow different than everyone else’s VVT...

HA! I laughed way to hard at this, lol.

Well it was really the first, so how?
Nobody was varying valve duration or lift before Honda

Just like reality

It WAS different. They had valve lift with a hard crossover point at a specific RPM. Nowadays everyone has continuously variable intake and exhaust, but we still don’t use lift. BMW’s high output engines have lift, called the Valvetronic.

They didn’t even have headrests back then.

Fiat patented a functional VVTL system way back in the 1960s, and apparently Alfa was the first to incorporate VVT in production cars a couple of years before Honda, but without the variable valve lift.

It is different because it changes valve lift or in some cases barely opens the valve not just valve timing.

Aviation had it way before cars. I think Alfa had something a bit before Honda.
