This car was supposed to replace the RL for the 2011 model year but was scrapped in its last stages of development back in early 2010 because then Honda president Ito, overeacted to the recession and cancelled all projects and drivetrain developments. This is a test mule in the picture so if course its not the final version or the production version of the car. It was RWD, optional SH-AWD and would have spawned an all new engine family which would have consisted of an iVTEC DOHC V6, V8 and a V10 all from the same architecture. The V6/V8 would have been available in the RL and and the V10 in the also cancelled Acura V10 GT coupe. The coupe was also RWD based, 2 seat, front engined with the V10 and SH-AWD. These cars were supposed to be the beginning of Acura previous tier 1 luxury goals and unfortunately, the bean counters won.

Its a test mule. You can see where they grafted on TSX body panels and you should be able to see that this mule was much larger vs any TSX.
