Acura TSX A-Spec Concept
This luxury sedan gets some classy upgrades for SEMA.

November 4, 2005 - Though most of Honda's focus was on the all-new Civic Si, sister company Acura brought some big guns out to the SEMA show as well. The "main" luxury-performance car on hand was the TSX A-Spec concept. The modifications done to this sedan are very subtle; we're pretty sure that the untrained eye wouldn't be able to tell what was done to this car. That's just the way we like our performance rides.
Some people may be able to tell that the TSX is now sporting some 19-inch "shoes" (wrapped in sticky Pirelli rubber), but only die-hard performance/tuning fans will be able to tell that this silver sedan is sporting an aggressive body kit (http://cars.ign.com/articles/664/664589p1.html#). An ultra-strong yet ultra-light carbon-kevlar aero kit has been applied to all sides of the car. Not only does this kit widen the car by 20 millimeters, the front and rear fascias actually improve airflow and downforce. The track-tested A-Spec suspension and massive Brembo brakes on this A-Spec concept should undoubtedly improve the car's lap times.
