Acura RL 2010 We are not here to do what has already been done. More than a rallying cry, it is a way of thinking. One that affects how we see the world of automotive luxury today, and how we shape it tomorrow. It has led us to develop transformative technologies like Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®) and a navigation system with both AcuraLink Real-Time Traffic and Weather.™ And to look for inspiration beyond the limited confines of current automotive design. It is what pushes us to use premier race circuits as testing grounds for our ideas, as evidenced by our move this year to the top tier of competition in the American Le Mans Series.® It is all for the purpose of opening up new roads, new opportunities. Enabling us, and the driver, to experience things that have never been done before. ITS LINES ARE EVIDENCE THAT ANTICIPATION CAN BE SCULPTED. ITS MOVEMENT IS PROOF THAT INSPIRATION CAN BE ENGINEERED. WHEN EVERY ASPECT OF THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE IS ADVANCED, IT NOT ONLY MOVES THE BODY, IT ELEVATES THE SPIRIT. The 2010 Acura RL. With its sophisticated fusion of leading-edge technology, comfort and safety, it is luxury in its most advanced state. Sculptural refinement. High-touch materials. Modern warmth. Inside the meticulously crafted cabin of the RL, concepts like comfort and hospitality are given advancing bliss the usual Acura treatments of precision and insight. Front seats not only pamper you with soft, perforated leather and supportive bolsters, they also offer three different levels of 10-WAY POWER DRIVER’S SEAT1 1 heating.

Inhale. Exhale. This is the rhythm of performance. Of course, as demands on the engine The engine’s high-inertia intake manifold also helps ensure that airflow is optimized change, so must the rhythm. Acura engineers took this insight to heart in designing the RL’s throughout the power curve. At low rpm, the air entering the manifold is propelled into the powerplant. The resulting 3.7-liter VTEC® V-6 engine uses two different camshaft profiles. By combustion chamber by a precisely tuned sonic wave. At higher engine speeds, the effect fine-tuning the lift and opening duration of the intake and exhaust valves, the competing is cancelled, allowing the air’s own inertia to pack in the maximum amount.

SHOWN IN SILVER JADE METALLIC. CAN TECHNOLOGY GIVE YOU AN ENTIRELY NEW PERSPECTIVE ON CORNERING? A maneuver is envisioned. A line chosen. In an instant, the RL’s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system reacts to help translate driver will into exhilarating reality. And because each curve you encounter represents a unique set of demands, this system continually adjusts power distribution to all four wheels to enhance both stability and performance. Accelerate through a curve and SH-AWD responds by distributing power optimally between the front and rear wheels. Up to 100% of the power directed to the rear wheels is sent to the wheel on the outside of the turn, accelerating it slightly faster than the inside wheel. This increases the vehicle’s cornering ability while at the same time making the RL even more stable through a turn.
