Filed under: Acura, Concepts,

The 2005 Acura TL A-Spec Concept takes a step forward as related to performance accessory possibilities available for Acura's best-selling sedan. Widened by nearly two inches, this concept boasts a more muscular look due to its 21-inch alloy wheels, wide fender flares and high performance tires. A breathtaking visibility is provided by a panoramic glass roof which flows back along the length of the cockpit. An integrated spoiler was used to restyle the trunk lid, while the engineers also applied a new bumper that featured larger and high flow exhaust finishers. Output is raised to over 300 HP by the 3.2-liter V6 engine and the car is lowered by one inch thanks to the A-SPEC high performance suspension package featuring track-tuned shocks and springs. The driver gets driving excitement from the racing-inspired cockpit dressed in premium Matador Red leather. Center console with aluminum accents together with an ultra suede headliner, add to the stylish atmosphere of the interior. The list of safety features comprises Adaptive Cruise Control, while a rear-view camera fitted into the trunk lid, provides a rearview picture to the navigation screen when the vehicle is in reverse gear.

Acura TL A-Spec Concept 2005 review:

The Acura TL A-SPEC Concept explores the next level of performance accessory possibilities for Acura's best-selling sedan. The Concept TL's track has been widened by nearly two inches, which combines with custom 21-in. alloy wheels, high performance tires and wide fender flares to give the Concept an even more muscular appearance. A panoramic glass roof flows back along the length of the cockpit, providing breathtaking visibility. The front fascia has been redesigned with a new bumper, headlights and an enhanced Acura grille and larger lower air intakes. The trunk lid has been restyled with an integrated spoiler, and a new bumper featuring larger, high flow exhaust finishers and a new taillight treatment has also been applied.

The TL A-SPEC Concept's 3.2-liter V-6 engine features custom intake and exhaust systems that raise output to over 300 horsepower. An A-SPEC high performance suspension package with track-tuned shocks and springs lowers the car by one in., and Brembo 8-piston calipers and 15-in. drilled rotors give the TL A-SPEC Concept increased stopping power.

Inside, the TL A-SPEC Concept features a racing-inspired cockpit clothed in premium Matador Red leather. An ultra suede headliner and carbon/Kevlar door panels and center console with aluminum accents. Custom front seats with heating and cooling vents, a carbon/kevlar racing steering wheel and lightweight aluminum sport pedals help enhance control over the car. The TL A-SPEC Concept also adds Adaptive Cruise Control to the TL's already extensive list of safety features, and a rear-view camera integrated into the trunk lid, which transmits a rearview picture to the navigation screen when the vehicle is in reverse gear.
