Acura is sending a strong message by fielding the 2021 TLX sports sedan at the Pikes Peak Hill Climb event. And to further whet our appetites, the high-performance TLX Type S will also make an appearance as the official pace car.<\/p>\n

According to Acura, racing is a key expression of the carmaker’s Precision Crafted Performance DNA and has utilized Pikes Peak as a proving ground for future performance technologies. But instead of hiring professional racing drivers for the event, Acura is fielding its own team of volunteer R&D engineers to develop, prep, and race the vehicles.<\/p>\n

In other news, Acura recently divulged the performance specs of its newest 2021 TLX Type S<\/a> sedan. Apparently, the Type S version will arrive with a turbocharged V6 producing 355 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque. Truth be told, we were pining for more power, but the new V6 has 65 more horsepower than Acura’s previous TLX V6 model.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

This gives the new TLX Type S some proper bragging rights against the BMW M340i<\/a> and Audi S4. The new V6 is mated exclusively to a 10-speed automatic transmission feeding power to all four wheels courtesy of Acura’s brilliant SH-AWD system. No, there won’t be a manual version of the new Type S, but Acura promises better performance with the standard 10-speed automatic gearbox.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

Adaptive dampers are optional in the regular TLX and standard in the 2021 TLX Type S. Meanwhile, the regular TLX receives a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder motor with 272 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. Acura is fielding three entries at Pikes Peak consisting of two race-prepped TLX sedans and a special time-attack version of the NSX supercar<\/a>. Of course, the Type S version is the official pace car at the event.<\/p>\n

The 2021 Acura TLX arrives at dealerships this fall, while the Type S version is arriving next spring.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
