2019 TLX Is the Manifestation of That Commitment THIS IS + + + + For more than thirty years, we’ve assembled troublemakers, scientists and daydreamers – and let creativity take its course under a single guiding principle: Precision Crafted Performance. It’s an unequaled design standard achieved when exact precision and extraordinary craft come together. It’s what happens when the driver is recognized as the single most important part in a vehicle. It’s who we are, who we’ve always been, and who we’ll continue to be. TLX SH-AWD® Elite A-SPEC in Platinum White Pearl shown. + + + + The Acura logo was designed to depict an engineering caliper and since its inception has DIFFERENT BY served as a symbol and a constant reminder of our unwavering commitment to precision and craft. The caliper is our true north and a promise of the painstaking attention to detail that goes into every Acura. From the beginning, it’s been our goal to create performance vehicles with an unrivaled level DESIGN of precision. Every detail is meticulously crafted down to where the tire meets the road, and it’s all with the single-minded goal of designing the world’s most cutting-edge, experience-boosting, driver-first performance vehicles. The 2019 TLX is the manifestation of that commitment. EXTERIOR DESIGN Inspired by the Acura Precision Concept, the TLX reflects the bold, distinctive vision for the future of Acura vehicles. Highlighted by our striking Diamond Pentagon Grille, the TLX’s aggressive design is completed with a sharply sculpted front end, modern lines and a sleek rear bumper with dual-exhaust outlets. JEWEL EYE™ LED HEADLIGHTS Whether you’re on the racetrack or a road trip, how far ahead you can see affects everything. Jewel Eye™ LED headlights are standard on every Acura and help to provide impressive down-road visibility with an intense, wide beam of light designed to mimic natural sunlight—the light our eyes are designed to see in. The intended result? Less fatigued driving, TLX Tech A-SPEC in San Marino Red shown. clarity, and more vivid colours. INTERIOR DESIGN The cockpit of the TLX was fashioned to support the driver and front passenger by creating a personal sanctuary where every performance-inspired detail is deliberate and intuitive. The centre stack features two display screens—one dedicated to phone, navigation and information, and a second that is touch-friendly and controls audio and climate functions. Available premium sport seats with contrast stitching and piping details provide ample support when cornering and comfort when cruising, while beautifully crafted surfaces and available ambient lighting create the TLX SH-AWD® Elite with Saddle Brown interior shown. Dark Burl wood-finished and metal trim. setting for an unmatched driving experience. a-spec Engineered to attack the turns, the A-SPEC Package’s upgraded performance features include 19-inch Shark Gray split five-spoke wheels with road-grabbing 245-section tires, along with retuned steering and upgraded suspension.

TAKE CONTROL + + + + While the TLX’s available 290-hp V6 and 206-hp inline-4 definitely get it done in a straight line, the TLX was built for the corners. We believe cars should respond instantly and instinctively to the driver’s input, and with innovative handling technologies such as Precision All-Wheel Steer,™2 available Super Handling All-Wheel Drive,™2 and Agile Handling Assist, the 2019 TLX has been engineered to deliver a direct connection to both car and road. Horsepower and torque calculations reflect SAE net, Rev. 08/04, SAE J1349 procedures. IDS INTEGRATED DYNAMIC SYSTEM With Econ, Normal, Sport, and Sport+ modes, Econ our Integrated Dynamic System (IDS) delivers four modes of Precision Crafted Performance. If you’re looking to raise your pulse, Sport mode dials up throttle response and weights the steering to deliver a sports car-like feel while inciting a more aggressive response from the P-AWS® or SH-AWD® systems. Sport+ pushes it further with even higher shift points and rev-matched downshifts to punctuate gear changes and help preserve balance. And for an even more engaging experience, Normal put full manual control of either the 8-speed dual-clutch or availalble 9-speed automatic transmission at your fingertips with race-inspired Sequential SportShift® paddle shifters.

P-AWS® PRECISION ALL-WHEEL STEER™2 Precision All-Wheel Steer (P-AWS) takes advantage of the untapped steering potential of the rear wheels, adapting intuitively in support of the driver and responding to their inputs with constant and immediate adjustments. This intelligent system adjusts the toe angle of each rear wheel independently for increased agility and stability while cornering, changing lanes and braking, helping to deliver an exceptional level of handling precision and performance. TWIST TURN AGILE HANDLING ASSIST2 Agile Handling Assist uses active braking to aid in the accurate tracing of your desired line through a turn. The system is designed to brake individual wheels as needed, effectively using brake torque vectoring to directly control the vehicle’s rotation, helping to deliver a more intuitive TLX SH-AWD® Elite A-SPEC in Still Night Blue Pearl shown. handling experience. A DIRECT CONNECTION BETWEEN DRIVER AND CAR TLX SH-AWD® Elite A-SPEC in Platinum White Pearl shown. SH-AWD® SUPER HANDLING ALL-WHEEL DRIVE™2 Available Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ was designed to adapt to the driver for superb handling under virtually any condition. This innovative torque-vectoring system sends power to the wheels that need it most, distributing power from front to back, or side to side on the rear wheels, helping to match driver input, weight distribution and available traction. In a corner, the system sends up to 100 percent of the rear power to the outside wheel, effectively rotating the car and significantly enhancing manoeuvrability and control. This performance technology helps to provide seamless power transitions and remarkable control—control that goes beyond traction and forms a direct connection between driver and car. CORNERING LANE CHANGE When cornering on dry surfaces, up to 70 percent For increased stability during lane changes, of the torque is distributed to the rear. Torque the SH-AWD® system is designed to transfer vectoring allows up to 100 percent of that power power to the inside rear wheel. to be distributed to the outside rear wheel, improving control and helping rotate the TLX through the turn.

TLX SH-AWD® Elite in Obsidian Blue Pearl shown. + + + + STREET Safety is always a priority, and the TLX was built with that belief in mind. That’s why it comes chock-full of leading-edge safety features such as our ACE™ body structure and standard AcuraWatch™ advanced safety and driver-assistance technology. SMART TLX SH-AWD® Elite A-SPEC in Platinum White Pearl shown. AcuraWatch™ Standard on the TLX, our AcuraWatch™ suite of advanced safety and driver-assist technologies is a network of systems designed to increase awareness and support the driver, working to help prevent, mitigate and in some cases even avoid impacts. Sensors are designed to a. b. continuously monitor the vehicle’s surroundings and can warn of potential threats, provide steering input to help keep you in the centre of a detected lane, help apply brake pressure to maintain a set interval from cars ahead and even emergency-brake in some cases to help avoid or mitigate the risks of frontal collisions.

  • What Is Match Mounting?
    dding performance vehi- cle owners to your cus- tomer list can give a huge boost to your shop’s bot- tom line. These owners may be demanding—even picky—but they’ll pay well to get the jobA done exactly the way they want it. Some of the most common types of work done on performance vehicles in- volve the wheels and/or tires. The wheels are one of the most visible parts of a vehicle, so any work done on them must be top-notch—meaning clean, pretty and accurate. Custom wheel service can be broken down into two primary topics, essential- ly—tire match mounting and custom wheel handling. Since you’ll never mount a wheel without a tire, we’ll cov- er the ins and outs of tire match mounting first. What Is Match Mounting? Match mounting involves positioning the tire onto the wheel to minimize or eliminate the final combination of radial force variation and/or imbalance (radial force variation is explained later in this article). One match mounting approach involves aligning the tire’s point of maxi- mum radial force variation (its high spot) to the wheel’s radial low spot (where the wheel’s radial runout is the lowest). This is called the Uniformity Method. The other approach involves simply aligning the tire’s lightest balance point to the wheel’s heaviest balance point, called the Weight Method. OE tire suppliers are required to mark a tire’s radial runout high point, and OE wheel makers are required to mark a wheel’s radial runout low point.

Jayakumar, D.Santhosh Kumar, MarrireddyRaviteja Reddy Department of Mechanical Engineering, Saveetha School of Engineering, Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences, Chennai – 602105, Tamil Nadu, INDIA ABSTRACT The wheels of an automobile are usually made out of steel but due to the increased demand for peculiarity and enhanced outlook alloy materials are used for the wheels these days. Performance of the vehicle is enhanced as they reduce its weight, increase its fuel efficiency and give a spectacular look compared to that of normal steel wheels. But there are some factors which hinder their mass usage like, comparatively high cost and less strength compared to that of steel. Though alloy materials are strong enough if the car undergoes significant trauma the alloy rims can bend. Many researchers have been carried out based on enhancing the geometry of the beam, like slightly curved beams could employ more behavioural changes and increased stiffness and some have done research on the structure which concluded bi-directional fabrics could be more efficient and some changes can be made because of changes in cross section. In this paper, a detailed study is carried out on the various parameters, which contribute to the creation of a new composite material for alloy wheels, which include the selection of materials, failure techniques, and the manufacturing processes involved.
