I'm sure a lot of people know this but I read a poster a couple days ago that stated it was an electric motor driving the hydraulic system instead of a belt system.

I was reading the Honda S2000 book and they went through the steering system.

"The system consists of a microprocessor controlled coaxial electric motor that is built into a traditional toothed rack-and-pinion system."

A traditional hydraulic system runs constantly and load increases with rpm. The plus with the electric system is that it runs only when needed, on high speed driving it turns off entirely where a normal system would be running at full bore.

Well that's it.
