This year’s race, held in Lexington, Ohio, will be officially known as the Acura Sports Car Challenge Presented by the TLX Type S. The new 2021 Acura TLX Type S will be painted Tiger Eye Pearl gold, a colour that is exclusive to the performance sedan.
According to Motor Authority, the Acuras that will be competing are the ARX-05 prototype racers which are entered in the DPi class as well as NSX GT3 Evos in the GTD class.
As a reminder, the 2021 Acura TLX Type S is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 that produces 355 horsepower and 354 lb.-ft. of torque, the most powerful car to ever wear the Type S badge.
Pricing will be announced shortly. Acura has already hinted that the starting price in the US will start in the low $50k range.
