The new 2012 Acura TL. With impeccable styling, precision handling and cutting-edge amenities, the TL integrates driver and machine – horsepower and adrenaline – unlike any other.
When it comes to horsepower and torque, the TL rises to the occasion in ways that no other Acura can. From the 305 hp and 273 lb.-ft. of torque produced by the available 3.7-litre VTEC power plant, to the 280 hp and 254 lb.-ft. of torque offered by the 3.5-litre VTEC engine, there's plenty of power to go around.
For performance steering at high speeds and increased maneuverability at lower speeds, the TL relies on an advanced speed-sensing Electronic Power Steering (EPS) system.
Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD). Precision tuned and optimized for the Acura TL, the available SH-AWD system is the difference between taking turns and cutting them.
World of Wheels- July 2011 by Bob Beintema says: Goodyear and Unser recently tested the 2012 Acura TL SH-AWD at Carolina Motorsports Park - “I asked Scott Goodyear how he would have managed at these speeds in the rain without it (SH-AWD)”. “Oh I’d be in the mud”. Al Unser Jr added “yeah wish we had this on our race cars”.
Conveniently housed in the centre console, the TL's USB device connector enables you to connect any number of compatible portable audio devices, such as an iPod.
Available 12.7 GB hard disk drive (HDD) contains enough storage space for you to record and store more than 217 hours of music, the equivalent of over 2610 songs.
