A Lap Closer to Reality
From the moment it first turned a wheel at the 1994 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Acura NSX has always been right at home on a racetrack. So it is not surprising the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course played host to the very first high-speed, public appearance of a new NSX prototype. Preceding the Honda Indy 200—and broadcast live on NBC Sports—the Acura supercar lapped the undulating circuit at speed in front of thousands of cheering fans. The rolling NSX prototype maintains the beautiful styling and proportions of the concept car and adds the dynamic NSX enthusiasts have waited months for—the sound. The mid-mounted V6 did not disappoint, howling to redline several times. Slated for launch in 2015, the production NSX will be built just down the road from the Mid-Ohio track in Marysville, OH using domestic and globally sourced parts.

The TL Special Edition is Extra Special
The 2013 TL Special Edition is turning heads. Featuring 18-inch 10-spoke aluminum alloy wheels, a color-matched decklid spoiler and distinctive Special Edition badging, the SE model is dressed for every occasion. Inside, the Ebony interior wraps driver and passenger in leather-appointed luxury. Contrast stitching adds a stylist's touch. A keyless access system remembers the seat, mirror and music preferences for two drivers and also lets you start the engine with the push of a button. Additionally, the TL has earned the TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Available now at Acura dealerships, the TL SE starts at $37,405.1

Enthusiastic Thumbs Up for the 2014 MDX
Made for Mankind is more than just a tagline. Much more. Several years ago, we asked luxury car owners what they wanted in a luxury SUV. They told us. We listened, very closely. Then, starting with a clean sheet of paper, we designed, developed and built the Extremely New 2014 MDX. Recently, we asked some of those same people back to test-drive the vehicle they inspired and give us their thoughts. You'll have to watch the video to see why we're blushing.

Remote Engine Start III
With the 2014 MDX comes the debut of Acura's new Remote Engine Start System III, which can start the vehicle from over 100 yards away. An LED on the remote acknowledges the start, while the climate control system automatically adjusts the cabin interior to 72 degrees. Only when it senses the key in the cabin can the MDX be driven off.
