Meet Roadshow's long-term 2021 Acura TLX Type S

Clad in Tiger Eye Pearl paint, the TLX Type S looks every bit a sport sedan.

Emme Hall
I love two-seater, RWD convertibles and own a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata for pavement fun and a lifted 2001 Miata for pre-running. I race air-cooled Volkswagens in desert races like the Mint 400 and the Baja 1000. I have won the Rebelle Rally, seven-day navigational challenge, twice and I am the only driver to compete in an EV, the Rivian R1T.

We haven't seen a Type S model from Acura for 13 years, but this TLX is a worthy of the badge.

This is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission that has been upgraded with stronger internal parts to handle the additional torque.

Pirelli P-Zero summer tires provide plenty of grip.

The fourth-generation Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive system can throw more torque to the rear and then distribute that to each wheel.
