Acura unveils TSX A-SPEC concept at SEMA

The TSX concept is a much more restrained version of Acura's RSX A-SPEC, also debuting at SEMA, without the wide-body look of its smaller sibling.

With track 20 mm wider than stock, the TSX concept carries 19-inch wheels, and redesigned front and rear fascias for better ventilation and downforce. Like the RSX, it also benefits from carbon-fiber underbody diffusers. Custom exhaust and intake systems are the only engine mods. Stiffer springs and shocks, and uprated Brembo brakes all 'round complete the picture.

The interior features Recaro sport seats and aluminum and carbon-fiber trim, for a ?high-tech, purposeful look.?

2005 TSX A-SPEC Concept

With a restyled exterior, wider track and custom performance exhaust, the 2005 TSX A-SPEC Concept showcases the potential of Acura?s popular sport sedan. The custom exterior boasts restyled front and rear bumpers with improved ventilation and downforce, two-part carbon-Kevlar underbody diffusers, a carbon-Kevlar rear spoiler and widened fenders and sills. The custom exhaust exits at the center of the rear bumper. Track is increased by 20 mm, and 19-in. wheels with a liquid mercury effect paint are wrapped in Pirelli tires. Track performance is enhanced with Acura advanced performance tuned springs and struts and Brembo brakes with four-piston calipers. The interior styling is a combination of aluminum dash and door inserts and carbon-Kevlar panels on the doors and center console. Recaro driver and front passenger seats are finished in leather and suede and compliment the custom gauge cluster, 3-spoke steering wheel and aluminum pedals.
