The 2021 Acura Tlx Type S Is Here. Buckle Up

THE 2021 ACURA TLX TYPE S IS HERE. BUCKLE UP.

Since its debut in 2001, the Type S brand has become globally recognized as Acura’s premium performance line. For the first time in more than a decade, the legendary Type S returns to the Acura lineup in the form of the 2021 TLX Type S. Here’s an inside look at the track-tested precision engineering that makes the new Type S such a powerful shot of Acura adrenaline.

JUST ADD PAVEMENT Powering the 2021 TLX Type S is an all-new 3.0-liter twin-scroll turbo V-6 that builds on decades of engine development experience and Acura racing success. • 355 horsepower @ 5500 rpm (SAE net) • 354 lb-ft of torque @ 1400-5000 (SAE net) • The most powerful Type S yet!

A RADICAL SHIFT IN SHIFTING Every TLX has a sweet 10-speed automatic transmission. But the Type S gets a special gearbox that’s tweaked, tuned, toughened and cooled precisely for duty in Acura’s most focused sport sedan ever: • Quicker, more aggressive shifts • Exclusive rev-match downshifts turn the rush into every corner into...well, a rush

ALL SYSTEMS GO Acura engineers targeted quick, direct and agile handling feel with single- minded focus. • Front suspension spring rates up 40% • Anti-roll bars are stiffened • Exclusive Type S front damper tower braces (visible under the hood) boost structural stiffness • Standard torque-vectoring Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive™ is specially rebalanced for turbo V-6 power delivery • Belt-driven variable-ratio electric power steering with quicker ratio on-center

With a twist of the wrist, the Dynamic Mode selector can transform the feel of the Type S over a greatly expanded tuning range. • Type S exclusive Sport+ setting • Eight vehicle systems are seamlessly orchestrated – everything from interior lighting to torque vectoring to Adaptive Damper System settings

STUNNING STOPPERS Braking in the Type S is part art, part science – and all visceral. • Massive (and beautiful) bright-red four-piston Brembo® front calipers • Larger diameter, thicker ventilated front discs • Electro-servo brake technology evolved from the NSX

LATERAL-G WHIZ Serious performance demands serious grip. • Standard 20-inch Shark Gray alloy wheels wrapped with gummy low-profile 255/35R20 Pirelli® Cinturato P7™ all-season tires • Available lightweight Y-spoke 20-inch alloy wheels wearing Pirelli® P ZERO™ summer tires* * If your vehicle is equipped with summer tires, be aware that these tires are not designed for winter driving conditions. For more information, contact a dealer.

CUSTOM-TUNED TO YOU The Type S has smart Adaptive Dampers that continuously adjust the ride based on millisecond-quick sensor inputs: • Specially calibrated for a sportier, firmer feel • More vehicle feedback in all Dynamic Mode settings, including new Sport+
