Acura Design Studio and Galpin Custom Car Works previewed their joint project for this year’s SEMA Show based on the 2015 TLX sedan.
Featuring custom exterior styling and chassis modifications, the Galpin Auto Sports Acura TLX debuts in Las Vegas alongside the twin-turbo TLX GT Race Car and a 2015 Acura TLX fitted with the Genuine Acura Accessory package.
Inspired by the TLX GT racecar, the Galpin Auto Sports Acura TLX showcases a new signature Acura brand color, Andaro Blue, with modifications also including a custom aero body kit with new front and rear bumpers, side skirts and deck-lid spoiler, ADV5.0 M.V2 SL custom wheels with gunmetal inner and liquid smoke outer shod with Pirelli 245/40/19 P Zero Tires and custom exhaust outlets.
Performance upgrades include an RSR Sport SI Series suspension kit with fully adjustable coilovers featuring 36-way damping adjustment, Wilwood Superlite 6 Piston Caliper with 14-inch Vented Rotor Front Brakes and Wilwood Superlite 4 Piston Caliper with 14-inch Vented Rotor Rear Brakes.
“We collaborated with Galpin Auto Sports to help us have some fun in speaking to this fundamental part of Acura DNA and we’re excited about what they have helped us create,” said Dave Marek, Global Creative Director of Acura Design.
“Blending luxury and performance elements into the design gave it a factory look with a customized flare that would speak volumes to the brand,” said Brandon Boeckmann, Galpin Auto Sports Operations Manager.
