What is the first v-tec engine? What car was it in? How long has v-tec been in production? Whoever answers these three questions correctly and with the most details will win "best answer"

The 1991 Acura NSX was the first 'VTEC' engine sold in the US market. VTEC is a Honda trademark, but variable valve timing (VVT), has been around for a while. Fiat was the first car company to patent the idea and Alpha Romeo was the first manufacturer to implement the technology in a production car, back in 1980.
