Each of the variants of the new 5 - Series will come with an eight - speed automatic transmission, as well as new features like EPS Electric Power Steering that takes some stress off the drive train by reducing parasitic drag and frees up a few more horsepower at the same time. (topspeed.com)
The new 2.5 - liter, four - cylinder Atkinson cycle engine sheds as much parasitic drag as possible by becoming entirely beltless. (hybridcars.com)
At higher speeds, when more feedback is desired, the system automatically reduces boost to improve steering feel while simultaneously lowering parasitic drag on the engine. (driveclassichonda.com)
