Handling
Suspension
When it comes to handling, the TLX makes no compromises. The new double-wishbone front suspension and available Adaptive Damper System deliver precision handling and powerful cornering grip over almost any road surface.
Chassis
The all-new Acura chassis is mated to an equally advanced new body structure, making the TLX the most rigid Acura sedan ever. Engineered with lightweight materials, the ultra-rigid structure gives the TLX the handling characteristics of a true sports sedan.
Brakes
Superior performance needs superior stopping power. The highly sophisticated electro-servo brake system derived directly from the NSX supercar is incorporated in the new TLX for precision braking through corners.
Type S
Quad exhaust outlets boldly signify the power under the hood of the Type S. To help maximize the use of all that power, exclusive high-performance chassis bracing, sport-tuned Adaptive Damper System, and Brembo front 4-piston braking system deliver handling with pinpoint precision. Prepare for the arrival of the TLX Type S by contacting your local dealer.
