Acura Previews TLX Type S PMC Edition
The Acura TLX Type S sedan will gain a healthy dose of tech, materials and craftsmanship from the NSX with the new limited-production 2023 TLX Type S PMC Edition, the company announced.
The TLX Type S PMC Edition is the fifth vehicle handcrafted by the same master technicians who build the NSX Type S at the Performance Manufacturing Center (PMC) in Ohio. Offered in one of three NSX-derived colors – Curva Red, 130R White and Long Beach Blue – the limited production run TLX Type S PMC Edition will be available for ordering later this year.
Exterior design elements exclusive to the PMC Edition include Berlina Black paint for the roof, antenna and door handles, and black-chrome quad exhaust finishers. The NSX-inspired Y-spoke 20-inch lightweight wheels are also painted in a new Copper-finish. Additional exterior enhancements include a carbon fiber decklid lip spoiler, a carbon fiber rear diffuser, lower side sill garnish and gloss-black exterior badging.
Inside, the TLX Type S PMC Edition is further distinguished by carbon fiber interior trim panels, illuminated side sills and premium floor mats with Type S badges and colored accent binding, designers said. Vehicles finished in Curva Red paint feature an Ebony interior highlighted by red contrast stitching. Long Beach Blue Pearl is paired with an Orchid interior with blue stitching, while 130R White is paired exclusively with a red interior. Milano leather seats with Ultrasuede inserts are standard and an individually numbered serial plaque on the lower console designates the 2023 TLX Type S PMC Edition as a limited-edition vehicle handcrafted at the Performance Manufacturing Center.
Following the hand-assembly process, each TLX Type S PMC Edition receives the same quality control process as NSX, including a dyno check, paint inspection and rough-road simulation, Acura said. To protect the paint during shipping, PMC Editions are wrapped in a specially designed car cover and transported to Acura dealers via enclosed, single-car carriers.
