Torrance, Calif. 11/01/2005 -- Acura today unveiled the TSX A-SPEC Concept at the 2005 SEMA show in Las Vegas, Nevada. This extensively modified TSX is a unique project built to explore the next level of performance accessory possibilities for Acura's popular sedan. Acura also revealed an updated 2006 RSX A-SPEC Concept along with TL and RL A-SPEC Concepts.



Based on the TSX sport sedan, the one-of-a-kind A-SPEC Concept is aggressively styled with wide fenders, custom 19-inch wheels and Pirelli tires that combine to increase the track by 20 mm. The front and rear fascias have been redesigned for improved ventilation and downforce. Air is directed under the car with two-part carbon-Kevlar underbody diffusers and the new rear bumper incorporates dual center-mounted exhaust pipes. On the trunk is a custom carbon-Kevlar rear spoiler. The side sills are extended and the headlights and taillights are revised to blend with the A-SPEC Concept's unique styling. Suspension changes include A-SPEC performance springs and shocks along with oversize Brembo brakes. These track-tuned pieces are designed to enhance the TSX's handling in demanding conditions. The custom exhaust and intake systems combine to increase horsepower and torque and give the TSX A-SPEC Concept thrilling engine and exhaust notes. Inside, the TSX A-SPEC Concept boasts race-ready Recaro seats. The front and rear seats are upholstered in premium black leather with suede inserts. Aluminum accents on the dash, steering wheel and shifter combine with carbon-Kevlar panels on the doors and center console for a high-tech, purposeful look.
The RSX Concept first made its debut at the 2001 SEMA show and is updated to reflect the significant changes made to the Acura RSX for 2005. The Concept RSX features a chassis that has been widened five inches compared to stock, with an aggressive body styling kit, fender flares, carbon fiber front and rear spoilers and HID headlights. It boasts racecar suspension tuning, large 19-inch "black chrome" wheels, prototype Michelin F1 tires and Brembo brakes. Inside, fully customized interior features carbon fiber accents, a race-style instrument panel and custom gauge cluster.

wow

wow um thats absolutely amazing if that concept becomes a reality and looks just like that i will be purchasing one
 
Very nice. is it me or is the driver turn signal in the headlamp red? I'm too lazy to read the article to find out.
 
I love everything except those holes in the bar going across the side air dams. They just don't fit.

Other than that, it's perfect!
 
did they change the wheel in the middle of the photoshoot? it looks like they put on the 2003 tsx a-spec wheel for the heck of it.

the tsx already is an awesome car. the a-spec package just makes it that much better. the down side is that it will probably add about $5K to the price.

The wider fenders make all the difference. My only beef with the stock TSX is that it doesn't appear very muscular, but this changes everything.
 
Why is the wheel different in the close up pic?

EDIT: I think that's from the rsx a-spec concept. The bottom of the bumper doesn't have the carbon fiber strip and the caliper is on the wrong side.
