In addition, Acura will campaign an NSX-inspired prototype vehicle in the Electric Modified Class, featuring a further evolution of the experimental all-electric, 4-motor Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) powertrain that won last year&#8217;s Pikes Peak Challenge Exhibition class. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Pikes Peak is like no other race in the world and offers a unique opportunity to showcase the power and performance of our products,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Jon Ikeda<\/span>, vice president and general manager of the Acura Division. &#8220;We are excited for this year&#8217;s &#8216;Race to the Clouds&#8217; to test the endurance and engineering of the Acura NSX and our advanced powertrain technologies \u2013 as well as an expression of our racing spirit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A team of North American R&amp;D engineers has been working on both NSX entries, which feature the same three-motor Sport Hybrid Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive powertrain (Sport Hybrid SH-AWD) as the production NSX. This powertrain features a twin-turbo V6 engine mated to a 9-speed dual clutch transmission and Rear Direct Drive Motor, and a front Twin Motor Unit with a world&#8217;s first electrically powered torque vectoring capability in the supercar realm. Modifications to the NSX competing in the Time Attack 1 class included chassis lightening and a custom high-flow racing exhaust. <\/p>\n<p>The NSX competing in the Time Attack 2 class is a production car with the required safety equipment for competition. The Time Attack 1 NSX will be driven by <span class=\"xn-person\">James Robinson<\/span> of the company&#8217;s North American powertrain development group, who drove a first-generation NSX in the Pikes Peak Hill Climb from 2012 to 2015. His brother <span class=\"xn-person\">Nick Robinson<\/span>, an engineer in charge of the new NSX&#8217;s dynamic performance during its development, will drive the Time Attack 2 NSX.\u00a0 Nick is also the reigning PP250 winner from the 2015 Pikes Peak Hill Climb.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>The supercar-inspired 4-Motor EV Concept will be driven by <span class=\"xn-person\">Tetsuya Yamano<\/span>, who campaigned last year&#8217;s CR-Z-based electric prototype.\u00a0The EV Concept is the ultimate embodiment of the all-wheel-drive Electric SH-AWD powertrain featuring a world&#8217;s first technology that enables four-wheel independent torque allocation. The Electric SH-AWD powertrain, an evolution of the CR-Z prototype powertrain, produces three times the total system output of last year&#8217;s electric prototype and is mated to the NSX body. <\/p>\n<p>As Official Pace Car sponsor, Acura will feature three pace cars \u2013 the NSX, the seven-passenger MDX performance-luxury SUV and the TLX sports sedan.
