On the trunk is a custom carbon-Kevlar rear spoiler. The side sills are extended and the headlights and taillights are revised to blend wîth the A-SPEC Concept's unique styling. Suspension changes include A-SPEC performance springs and shocks along wîth oversize Brembo brakes. These track-tuned pieces are designed to enhance the TSX's handling in demanding conditions. The custom exhaust and intake systems combine to increase horsepower and torque and give the TSX A-SPEC Concept thrilling engine and exhaust notes.
Inside, the TSX A-SPEC Concept boasts race-ready Recaro seats. The front and rear seats are upholstered in premium black leather wîth suede inserts. Aluminum accents on the dash, §teering wheel and shifter combine wîth carbon-Kevlar panels on the doors and center console for a high-tech, purposeful look.
The RSX Concept first made its debut at the 2001 SEMA show and is updated to reflect the significant changes made to the Acura RSX for 2005. The Concept RSX features a chassis that has been widened five inches compared to stock, wîth an aggressive body styling kit, fender flares, carbon fiber front and rear spoilers and HID headlights.
