A Legacy Of Performance Continues

Like the fastest line around a track, every turn setting up the next, the momentum of our future comes from the speed of our past. From legends like the TL and RSX Type S models, Precision Crafted Performance has always been our pursuit. Fueled by that heritage, the Type S returns in its most powerful incarnation, ready to conquer new roads. And now, the MDX makes history as the first Acura SUV with a Type S performance variant.

Handing With Style

The Type S is born to amp your adrenaline levels. Large Brembo® front brake calipers paired with upsized rotors help you shed speed. Available NSX-inspired lightweight Y-spoke wheels wrapped in high-performance Pirelli summer tires reduce unsprung weight at all four corners, for a drive that feels precision crafted down to the ounce.

Aerodynamics

The Type S is designed to direct airflow to maximize performance. The lower front splitter helps generate downforce for more traction while the Open Surface Diamond Pentagon Grille feeds air into the powerful turbo V6. The rear spoiler and lower diffuser work together to smooth airflow and reduce lift. Sculpted for speed, the TLX Type S demands to be driven.

Exclusive Design

Type S is visually and audibly aggressive for an immersive performance experience. Quad outlets, reminiscent of the 2008 TL Type S, finish the valved exhaust system. Tiger Eye Pearl premium paint, exclusive to Type S, beautifully compliments the larger and wider Shark Gray wheels wrapped in performance tires.

Sport Cabin

The Type S is as refined and driver-focused as ever. With Ultrasuede®-trimmed seats and the flat-bottom sport steering wheel, the interior feels athletic and purpose-built. Select the Orchid leather, exclusive to the Type S, to create a boutique feeling interior that indulges the senses beyond what performance can do alone.

Carbon Fiber

Track-inspired carbon fiber enhancements available from Acura Genuine Accessories give the Type S a sharper edge. The available carbon fiber decklid spoiler and rear diffuser embolden the aggressive exterior. Available interior carbon fiber trim entices you to unleash the full power of the Type S.
