Acura TL Type-S


Acura TL Type-SMSRP (base): $38,225Engine: 3.5-liter, 24-Valve DOHC, VTEC V6Horsepower: 286 horsepower @ 6,200 rpmTorque: 256 lb-ft @ 5,000 rpmMPG: City: 18; Highway: 27Performance - 16/20The Acura TL Type-S is rooted on a featherweight chassis and front-wheel drive. The suspension utilizes firmer shocks and stiffer springs for reduced bounce and is a noticeable advantage over the stock setup. It will keep the base TL’s 3.5-liter, 24-valve, DOHC, VTEC V6 performing to perfection and is good for 286 horsepower @ 6,200 rpm. The crank, with a two-stage intake manifold, also makes good for 257 lb-ft of “pull-time” torque. Gear swapping is made possible in the Acura TL Type-S by a six-speed manual transmission or five-speed automatic, and is available with sequential paddle shifters. This all comes together with a drive-by-wire throttle system that leaps off the line with a 0-60 mph drag time of 5.5 ticks, and the 2008 Acura TL Type-S can reach a top speed of 150 mph. Exterior design - 16/20
