Acura has been setting new standards in automotive design and engineering for two decades with a strong commitment to bold innovation, precision manufacturing, and satisfying performance. The result is a roster of well-refined luxury vehicles that best typifies cutting-edge technology and thrilling automotive experience. Acura’s reputation for thrilling performance, for instance, relies on well-researched mechanical concepts, considerable of which has already resulted to exceptional Acura engine parts.

Acura was the first Japanese automaker to sell luxury-performance cars in the United States. It was a bold, but nonetheless sharp, move as the first two vehicles were introduced—the Legend luxury sedan and the sporty Integra series. Since the brand’s inception in 1986, Acura vehicles have won countless awards and accolades for its work. In fact, it was the best-selling luxury-performance import nameplate in the US in 1987. Also in the same year, the Acura Legend won Motor Trend’s prestigious Import Car of the Year trophy, while the Integra landed in the Car and Driver’s Ten Best list, both within the same year.

Acura’s heritage of innovation perpetually redefines state-of-the-art luxury in automobiles. A steadfast commitment to Research & Development continues to pioneer industry firsts in fields such as engine structural design, safety, all-wheel drive systems, voice recognition, and cleaner engine technology. Intelligent design propels the VTEC® engine and a group of Acura engine parts to provide legendary performance and fuel efficiency. VTEC® technology improves fuel efficiency at low rpm and boosts engine output at higher velocities.

Supplementing the excellent Acura engine parts is the Drive-by-Wire Throttle System™, which brings a sophisticated electronic system—normally found in race cars—to the Acura gas pedal. The Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD™) system, on the other hand, introduces North America’s first independent torque-distribution control system to raise turning precision and safety. Acura engineers’ forward-thinking has led to safety advancements like Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™), building crash protection right into the frame of the car. These technologies prove that Acura consistently pushes the limits, staying on the cutting edge by sharpening the edge itself. It’s really no wonder then why enthusiasts and drivers have turned their sights on the Japanese-bred automotive force.
