- Acura unveiled the TSX A-SPEC Concept at the 2005 SEMA show in
Las Vegas, Nevada. This extensively modified TSX is a unique
project built to explore the next level of performance accessory
possibilities for Acura's popular sedan.
Based on the TSX sport sedan, the one-of-a-kind A-SPEC Concept is
aggressively styled with wide fenders, custom 19-inch wheels and Pirelli
tires that combine to increase the track by 0.8 inches (20 mm). The
front and rear fascias have been redesigned for improved ventilation and
downforce. Air is directed under the car with two-part carbon-Kevlar
underbody diffusers and the new rear bumper incorporates dual
center-mounted exhaust pipes. On the trunk is a custom carbon-Kevlar
rear spoiler. The side sills are extended and the headlights and
taillights are revised to blend with the A-SPEC Concept's unique
styling. Suspension changes include A-SPEC performance springs and
shocks along with oversize Brembo brakes. These track-tuned pieces are
designed to enhance the TSX's handling in demanding conditions. The
custom exhaust and intake systems combine to increase horsepower and
torque and give the TSX A-SPEC Concept thrilling engine and exhaust
notes.
Inside, the TSX A-SPEC Concept boasts race-ready Recaro seats. The front
and rear seats are upholstered in premium black leather with suede
inserts. Aluminum accents on the dash, steering wheel and shifter
combine with carbon-Kevlar panels on the doors and center console for a
high-tech, purposeful look.
