Acura will debut a 1997 Acura SLX (Isuzu Trooper) called the “Super Handling SLX<\/a>\u201d on December 7th at RADwood<\/a>. The SUV was built by Pikes Peak racing drivers and engineers James Robinson, Paul Hubers and Jordan Guitar. The team replaced the factory 3.2 L 6VD1 DOHC V6, four-speed automatic transmission, and 4×4 drivetrain with a third generation Acura RDX powertrain. This means the SLX now features a turbocharged 2.0 L K20C4 inline-four, 10-speed automatic transmission, and torque-vectoring SH-AWD drivetrain. They increased the engine’s output to 350 horsepower at 6500 rpm and 340 lb-ft of torque at 1600-4500 rpm. The SLX still rides on the factory boxed ladder frame albeit with new front\/rear subframes, MacPherson Strut front suspension, and 5-link rear suspension. A set of Fifteen52 Tarmac 17-inch wheels cover ventilated 12.4-inch brakes in front and ventilated 12.2-inch brakes in back.<\/p>\n
