Producing power efficiently has always been one of Acura’s defining goals. After all, the lighter the engine, the less inertia to overcome in getting you off the line, or through a tight turn. And while the 3.7-liter engine motivating the TL SH-AWD is the most powerful production engine ever developed by Acura, materials such as aluminum and magnesium help keep the weight down. Employing an updated variable valve system that manages both air intake and exhaust, the engine breathes deeply, getting the most power out of every stroke and producing an impressively high horsepower-per-liter ratio. The 3.5-liter engine found in the standard TL also delivers the benefits of variable valve management. By adjusting the timing and lift of the intake valves, it also generates the kind of performance usually associated with larger engines. advancing inspiration 280-HP, 3.5-LITER VTEC® ENGINE (TL) 305-HP, 3.7-LITER VTEC ENGINE (TL SH-AWD) QUAD-OUTLET SPORT EXHAUST (TL SH-AWD) 5-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFT REV MATCHING ALUMINUM AND HIGH-TENSILE STEEL.

Utilizing an array of sensors, the system continually monitors each wheel’s grip on the road and sends power to where it will be most effective. If any of the tires experience a loss of traction, torque will be redirected to those with a better hold. If all four wheels are on a low-traction surface, power is balanced among them for more surefooted traction. By actively distributing power between the front and rear wheels, as well as between the right and left rear wheel, SH-AWD delivers more confidence-inducing handling when the weather or road conditions are less than ideal.

The crisp handling accelerating through a corner. of the TL SH-AWD is the result of its ability to proactively determine where more traction will be needed to help you hold tight to your chosen line. When you take a corner, the system can send up to 100% of available rear-wheel torque to the outside wheel and then spin that wheel slightly faster. These two actions dramatically increase the vehicle’s turning force, delivering not only increased stability and control, but also more thrilling response. TL SH-AWD SHOWN IN WHITE DIAMOND PEARL.
