Acura is continuing its tradition of taking modified production cars to the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb with plans to race the new 2019 RDX crossover up the famous mountain. Also present from Acura will be a 500-horsepower TLX A-Spec, a TLX GT racing car and an NSX Time Attack car.
The 2019 Acura RDX will compete in the Exhibition Class and is described as "production-based," but there's a long list of modifications. For starters, the turbocharged 2.0-liter engine has been upgraded from its factory rating of 272 hp and 280 pound-feet of torque to 350 hp and 330 lb-ft. That power boost comes courtesy of a larger turbocharger and a larger intercooler, plus a 48-volt electric supercharger that's intended to help combat turbo lag as the RDX reaches higher elevations.
