Technology and Performance

Among the Acura class, the 2014 RLX Sports Hybrid is the most notable. It has a 3.5 litre, 310 horsepower V-6 engine that ensures power and speed, with up to 31 mpg for fuel efficiency.

Acura also looks into the future. Fans eagerly await the release of the NSX Concept car. It is a revival of the discontinued Acura NSX. It is, as the company claims it to be, “built to beguile”. The NSX Concept is design as a sports car and a hybrid-electric. Those who are excited to have one would have to wait since the mass production of the NSX would commence in 2015.
