Last year, Acura made history by sweeping the WeatherTech SportsCar Drivers&#8217;, Manufacturers&#8217; and Teams&#8217; Championships in both the DPi and GTD classes. <\/p>\n<p>Acura has powered three consecutive race wins at the 2.258-mile, 13-turn Mid-Ohio course, with Acura-powered\u00a0Wayne Taylor Racing (WTR) looking to extend its current championship points lead. Earlier this year, WTR&#8217;s No. 10 Konica Minolta Acura ARX-05\u00a0scored an outright win at the Rolex 24 at Daytona. Coming off a third place finish at the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, the ARX-05 of Meyer Shank Racing also is looking to secure another podium finish. <\/p>\n<p>Helio Castroneves, part of the WTR winning driver lineup at the Rolex 24, will serve as Grand Marshall for this weekend&#8217;s Acura Sports Car Challenge at Mid-Ohio, presented by the TLX Type-S. Castroneves, 2020 IMSA champion driving for Acura and a three-time <span class=\"xn-org\">Indianapolis<\/span> 500 winner, will give the traditional command to start engines on Sunday, just prior to the start of the two-hour, 40-minute endurance racing contest.<\/p>\n<p><b>2021 Acura TLX Type S<\/b><\/p>\n<p>At the heart of the 2021 TLX Type S driven by Castroneves is the Type S Turbo V6, an all-new, 24-valve, dual overhead cam 3.0-liter V6 engine with direct-injection and a single twin-scroll turbocharger,\u00a0producing 355 horsepower and 354 lb.-ft. of torque (SAE Net). Exclusive to Type S models, the engine was developed by some of the company&#8217;s most experienced powertrain engineers, including members of the team that developed the NSX&#8217;s bespoke twin-turbocharged V6 hybrid power unit and championship winning motorsports programs.<\/p>\n<p>Simply the best performing Acura sedan ever, the new TLX Type S also features a sport-tuned 10-speed automatic transmission, Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive\u2122 (SH-AWD\u00ae) with true torque vectoring, double-wishbone front suspension, Brembo\u00ae\u00a0front brakes and Type S-exclusive Sport+ driving mode. <\/p>\n<p>Visually, TLX Type S is distinguished by an open-surface Diamond Pentagon grille that provides increased airflow, a front splitter, rear diffuser, large quad exhaust outlets and two wheel designs, including optional NSX-inspired lightweight wheels featured on the pace car. <\/p>\n<p>Inside, Type S drivers are treated to a flat-bottom steering wheel, Ultrasuede\u00ae trimmed 16-way power seats with adjustable side bolstering and Type S embossing on the headrests.
