Is The 2023 Acura TLX Type S Twin-Turbocharged?

The only thing better than a turbo engine is a twin-turbo engine. Not necessarily because “two is better than one” but because distributing power between two turbos greatly reduces lag which is a big deal if you’re looking to prioritize speed. But does Acura’s Type S lineup utilize this dynamic engine design? Delray Acura is here to tell you everything there is to know about the twin–turbocharged engine in the new 2023 Acura TLX Type S! You’re also welcome to view our new inventory online to see what we have in stock.

A Closer Look At The TLX Type S Twin-Turbo Engine

Yes, the new TLX Type S comes equipped with a twin-turbocharged engine. But that’s not all. The 3.0L displacement supports incredible power, 355-HP with 354 lb.-ft. of torque to be precise. Built with an aluminum-alloy 6-cylinder layout, there’s no question that this incredible sports car has what it takes to dominate the road. The 10-speed automatic transmission ensures a smooth drive with minimal disruptions. Optimal speed and increased smoothness are something you only hear about in stories, but Acura is here to bring the unthinkable into your reality. That is precisely why the TLX won a Best Buy Award from Consumer Guide Automotive.

Designed To Make The Most Out Of The Type S Engine

Other than the engine itself, there’s so much more to the TLX Type S than meets the eye. After all, a sports car’s performance isn’t only determined by the engine itself. Everything works together to bring out the best qualities of one another. So, in order to experience the true capabilities of the twin-turbo engine, the TLX Type S is designed to support it in a number of ways. For instance, the rear spoiler and lower diffuser are responsible for maintaining proper airflow. By reducing the lift that’s caused by air, the engine can work more efficiently. And while the iconic Diamond Pentagon Grille is stunning, it does more than just look cool. It’s shaped in a way that promotes more airflow to the engine to keep it from overheating. The quad exhaust outlets also relate to the engine, but it’s more for showing off its power through intense sounds.

Precision-Driving At Its Finest

Power and speed are important, but expert handling is what truly impresses the masses. The TLX Type S gives you full control of your drive by including advanced driving features such as:

• Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD)
• A sport-tuned Adaptive Damper System
• A tighter variable steering ratio
• High-performance chassis bracing
• A Brembo braking system
• A lower front splitter

All of these features are purposely included to keep the TLX Type S gripped onto the road while giving you the means to make sharp turns with ease. This sort of dedication in design is why Acura vehicles are so high-acclaimed.
