Making its first run to the 14,115-foot summit, the TLX GT, driven by long-time Acura race car driver <span class=\"xn-person\">Peter Cunningham<\/span>, set a new Open Class record with a time of 9:33.797, finishing second overall and earning Cunningham &#8220;Rookie of the Year&#8221; honors for the annual event. The 2018 Acura TLX A-Spec, making its racing debut, won the top spot in the Exhibition Class with a time of 11:03.655, while the production-based NSX with GT3-inspired modifications earned a podium finish in 10:03.433, taking third place in the Time Attack 1 class.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div id=\"prni_dvprnejpgffa5left\" style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: left; WIDTH: 100%\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"prnejpgffa5left\" title=\"Acura Earns Two Class Victories and Sets Record at 2017 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Acura Earns Two Class Victories and Sets Record at 2017 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb\" align=\"middle\" src=\"http:\/\/mma.prnewswire.com\/media\/527783\/Acura_Pikes_Peak_Hill_Climb_Victories.jpg\"\/><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;Just an incredible month of June was had by RealTime Racing in <span class=\"xn-location\">Colorado<\/span>. Today&#8217;s result on the hill is the culmination of a ton of hard work by my team and the Honda Performance Development group,&#8221; said Cunningham. &#8220;The No. 42 Acura TLX GT achieved 100 percent reliability and great speed, including the time that mattered today on our one 12.42-mile run from the 9,390-foot start line to the 14,115-foot summit.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Congratulations to my Acura teammates <span class=\"xn-person\">Nick Robinson<\/span>, securing the Exhibition Class title, and <span class=\"xn-person\">James Robinson<\/span>, bringing home a podium in his Time Attack 1 NSX,&#8221; continued Cunningham. &#8220;A fantastic day for Acura at Pikes Peak!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I couldn&#8217;t be happier with our finish today with the Time Attack 1 NSX,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">James Robinson<\/span>. &#8220;Our time of 10:03 was very close to our goal to get a mass production NSX under 10 minutes. I think this speaks directly to the effectiveness of the Sport Hybrid Super Handling All-Wheel Drive. \u00a0In addition, we were able to get a third place in the Time Attack 1 class, and 7th fastest car overall.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m very proud to say that we were able to give the brand-new 2018 Acura TLX A-Spec its first win here at Pikes Peak,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Nick Robinson<\/span>.\u00a0 &#8220;Combined with Peter&#8217;s win in the Open Class, I think we&#8217;ve really shown the Precision Crafted Performance of the TLX here at America&#8217;s Mountain!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This is the sixth consecutive year that Acura has raced vehicles in the Pikes Peak event. <\/p>\n<p><b>About Acura<\/b><br \/>Acura is a leading automotive luxury nameplate that delivers Precision Crafted Performance, an original approach to technology and design that creates a new driving experience. \u00a0The Acura lineup features six distinctive models \u2013 the RLX premium luxury sedan, the TLX performance luxury sedan, the ILX sport sedan, the 5-passenger RDX luxury crossover SUV, the seven-passenger Acura MDX, America&#8217;s all-time best-selling three-row luxury SUV and the next-generation, electrified NSX supercar as the pinnacle expression of Acura Precision Crafted Performance.<\/p>\n<p><b>For More Information<\/b><br \/>Consumer information is available at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.acura.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.acura.com<\/a>.
