The rain brake support (or RBS in short) is a system of automatic drying of the brake discs, which helps to shorten the braking distance of the car. When driving in the rain, a water film forms on the brake discs, which reduces the effect of the brakes by delaying their onset.

The brake discs must first push out the water film or dry it to achieve the maximum braking effect.

Valvetronic is a designation for BMW engines equipped with a variable valve lift system. It is a system that, combined with variable valve timing, allows changing the position of the camshaft independently of the position of the crankshaft. It can also change the lift and length of time the valve is open.

This technology is used to optimize engine parameters. Thanks to the Valvetronic system, engines achieve higher performance, lower fuel consumption, and lower emissions.

Adaptive Drive is a system of active chassis regulation, developed by the automobile company BMW. This system allows you to adjust the characteristics of the car's chassis, according to the driver's requirements or automatically depending on driving conditions and road quality.

The active chassis control system combines the DCC (Dynamic Chassis Control) and Dynamic Drive (active stabilizers) systems.

MIVEC (Mitsubishi Innovative Valve Timing Electronic Control System) is a designation for the engines of the automobile company Mitsubishi, equipped with a system of variable valve timing and valve lift.

This valve control system is used to improve the engine's volumetric efficiency, thereby increasing engine performance and reducing fuel consumption and the amount of emissions produced.

Quattro is the designation of the all-wheel drive system used by the automobile company Audi. All Audi car models that are equipped with four-wheel drive carry this designation.

But how does Audi's all-wheel drive work, and why isn't Quattro like Quattro? We will shed some light on this in today's article.

Nitro oxide is translated as nitrogen oxide (or paradise gas), used in healthcare as an anesthetic - but we will be interested in its use in cars.

This article continues the performance enhancement series, and we will briefly focus on the Nitro Oxide System, NOS.
