ACURA picked the Monterey Car Week (scheduled on August 9-18) as the setting amid which to reveal its Type S Concept car. The model heralds the return of the brand’s high-performance line.
“The return of [the] Type S is a pivotal moment for Acura, sending a powerful message that we are committed to fulfilling the Precision Crafted Performance brand promise across our lineup,” said Acura brand officer vice-president Jon Ikeda. “Building on the return of NSX, our renewed commitment to Acura Motorsports, the introduction of the third-generation RDX and new Acura design direction, the Type S Concept represents another significant step in creating a new era for the Acura brand.”
The Type S Concept sets the design direction for the return of Type S performance variants to the Acura lineup, according to the carmaker, which described the car as a “striking expression of Acura performance with a powerful stance and expressive silhouette.”
Acura added the Type S Concept will make its world premiere at a private reception on August 15 before it is revealed to the public on August 16 at The Quail, a Motorsports Gathering. The car will then be showcased at the historic Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance Concept Lawn on August 18.
To set the stage for the Type S Concept’s reveal, Acura released an image and video in which highlighted are the model’s muscular rear arches, quad exhaust and Type S badge.
