The Acura Precision Concept was developed by the Acura Design Studio in <span class=\"xn-location\">California<\/span> to express the Acura brand DNA of &#8220;Precision Crafted Performance.&#8221; <\/p>\n<div id=\"prni_dvprnejpg0863left\" style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: left; WIDTH: 100%\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"prnejpg0863left\" title=\"The Acura Precision Concept model made its world debut at the 2016 North American International Auto Show today, pointing toward a bolder, more distinctive future for Acura vehicle design.\" border=\"0\" alt=\"The Acura Precision Concept model made its world debut at the 2016 North American International Auto Show today, pointing toward a bolder, more distinctive future for Acura vehicle design.\" align=\"middle\" src=\"http:\/\/photos.prnewswire.com\/prnvar\/20160111\/321161\"\/><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;There is no more clear promise for the Acura brand than Precision Crafted Performance,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Jon Ikeda<\/span>, vice president and general manager of Acura.\u00a0 &#8220;We&#8217;re committed to infusing this core Acura promise into every facet of our products and every aspect of our relationship with the customer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With an emphasis on high-contrast details and the intersection of modern, sheer surfaces and muscular, organic sculpting, the Acura Precision Concept communicates Acura&#8217;s focus on performance and prestige through its ultra-low and wide stance, long dash-to-axle ratio, deeply sculpted surfaces and the debut of a new Diamond Pentagon grille. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Acura Precision Concept is more than simply a concept vehicle, it is a design study model that literally will shape the direction of all future Acura products around our Precision Crafted Performance DNA,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Dave Marek<\/span>, Acura global creative director.\u00a0 &#8220;The Acura Precision Concept is the leading edge of a renewed commitment to delivering Precision Crafted Performance in every facet of the product experience and creating a powerful and very exciting direction for the next generation of Acura models.&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>The Acura Precision Concept&#8217;s crouched and athletic stance is further emphasized by its deeply sculpted side surfaces pouring over swelling rear wheel arches covering 22-inch wheels and tires. The forward-looking concept also features signature lighting designs \u2013 in front with its Jewel Constellation LED headlights composed of organically arranged fractal elements, and in back with floating LED taillights.<\/p>\n<p>A key design theme, dubbed &#8220;quantum continuum,&#8221; is seen in the seamless transition of materials and structure from the exterior to the interior of the vehicle, which is further highlighted by the absence of a b-pillar. The large door rocker panel flows into the interior side sill, transitioning into a cantilever for the floating rear seats. The rear center high-mounted stoplight becomes an architecture element piercing the rear glass and then flowing down to help form the structure for the metal airfoil shape of the rear headrests.<\/p>\n<p>The elegant and powerful exterior is matched by its dramatic interior design, where cantilevered surfaces meet with striking tones, expressive surfacing and modern detailing. Of particular note are the double-layered instrument panel, the high-contrast front seat surfaces, the ultra-thin &#8220;floating&#8221; rear seats, evoking the look of modern lounge furniture, and the hand-crafted audio speaker grilles made of exotic wood. <\/p>\n<p>The driver&#8217;s space is highlighted by a compact, race-inspired, sports steering wheel with paddle shifters and Integrated Dynamics System (IDS) controls, a floating center meter, a driver&#8217;s head-up display, a cantilevered center stack and an ultra-wide, thin and curved center display screen.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p><b>New Acura HMI Concept<br \/><\/b>The Acura Precision Concept also explores a new approach for Acura&#8217;s digital human-machine interface (HMI), enabling a more intuitive, advanced and seamless connection between man and machine. The ultra-wide and curved center screen is operated by a floating touch pad suspended on the cantilevered center stack. Upon entry, the system scans each occupant and selects personalized features and functions, including maps, audio and customized vehicle performance settings. <\/p>\n<p><b>Acura Precision Concept dimensions:<\/b><\/p>\n<p\/>\n<div>\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\" class=\"prntblns\">\n<tr>\n<td class=\"prnsbts prnrbrs prnsbbs prnpl6 prnsbls prnpr6\">\n<p class=\"prnews_p\"><span class=\"prnews_span\">Width<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"prnsbts prnrbrs prnsbbs prnpl6 prnsblb0 prnpr6\">\n<p class=\"prnews_p\"><span class=\"prnews_span\">84 inches<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"prngen4\">\n<p class=\"prnews_p\"><span class=\"prnews_span\">Length<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"prngen5\">\n<p class=\"prnews_p\"><span class=\"prnews_span\">204 inches<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"prngen4\">\n<p class=\"prnews_p\"><span class=\"prnews_span\">Height<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"prngen5\">\n<p class=\"prnews_p\"><span class=\"prnews_span\">52 inches<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"prngen4\">\n<p class=\"prnews_p\"><span class=\"prnews_span\">Wheelbase<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"prngen5\">\n<p class=\"prnews_p\"><span class=\"prnews_span\">122 inches<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"prngen4\">\n<p class=\"prnews_p\"><span class=\"prnews_span\">Wheel\/Tire<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"prngen5\">\n<p class=\"prnews_p\"><span class=\"prnews_span\">&#8211; 5-spoke machined wheels <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"prnews_p\"><span class=\"prnews_span\">&#8211; 22-inch Michelin Pilot Super Sport <br \/>Summer Tire<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p><b>About the Acura Precision Concept<br \/><\/b>The Acura Precision Concept was created to explore new and challenging ideas for future Acura design, particularly Acura sedans.
