Acura's "claim" is not at the wheels.


I'll guess 17% drivetrain loss for 240hp and 221ft/lb

Here is a base dyno chart from our good friend at STP Motorsport at Fort Lauderdale, FL on our 2015 TLX 2WD V6. This is a 5th gear pull on a DyonJet. Run condition at around 91 degress with 71% of humidity. Out of the 3 runs, pretty consistent. Max 265.89HP and 251.23 Torque. That is less than 9% of power loss from what Acura claimed. I am very very happy with the result.

Behind the scenes with Team Vossen from our Video and Photo shoots. What a great group of people and company to work with. Such an honor.

Love that shot!

My opinion, but the front OEM lip kit would look so much better if Acura did not wrap it up towards the top of the bumper. I'd like a TLX front lip kit similar to the way the 5th gen Prelude was designed...

I wonder if adding a roof spoiler would work well on this car.

i agree about the kit. i think the front and sides look fine here, but a small improvement would to see the lip kit not go so high on the front.

i really don't like the rear kit, i think it breaks the flow completely and looks like a bad ebay glue on.

but overall the car has made leaps forward since the last good gen (third gen)

If they did a 2G TSX SE front lip style the was as high as the front of the side skirt, I think that would be where its at.

The large stock wheel gap and the crappy looking wheels (IMO) hurts its styling. The way he has it stanced and the wheels, MMMMM! Makes it a lot sleeker/sexier.

yes they do, I always thought that both of these Vossen Rims (VFS 1 & VFS 2) would look the best on the TLX... Can't wait for more pictures or another video.

I apologize for the recent absent on here since I was attending an Acura Conference in Las Vegas in the passed week. I was able to capture some cool pictures of the Acura TLX GT Race car and met the driver in person at the event. Hope y'all enjoy!
