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.
