What Acura concept is this?

Saw this tutorial and realized it was some kind of Acura concept by the looks of it. . .

I would guess that it is not a concept, just a design study. It has no pronounced Acura design language, and I don't think Acura would have provided an instructor with a real concept model. Very cool video though.

Designer basically looked up the three most recent coupes in production for lineage. the NSX, CL and RSX. The body is a rescaled NSX (hood, side and rear hips) the windowline, particularly rear window kink, is clearly RSX, and the smiley bumper is from the CL, minus the fogs. One could argue the rear fenders are from the TSX, but it's actually the same design language as NSX if you remove the side vents and buttresses.

They dipped into the Toyota parts bin with BRZ headlights, and teslas nose to merge the NSX hood and CL bumper.

Done
