Continuing the celebration of its 25th anniversary, Acura announces the availability of a new version of the popular TSX sports sedan for the 2012 model year.

Designed to evoke the fun-to-drive four-cylinder Acuras of the past, the TSX Special Edition will add even more sportiness to the TSX lineup thanks to exterior and interior upgrades for Acura's entry-level sedan.

The 2012 TSX Special Edition package consists of numerous upgrades to the exterior including a more aggressive front spoiler, a new rear bumper fascia, unique side sills and an exclusive "Special Edition" badge on the trunklid. The TSX's 17x7.5-inch, 5-spoke aluminum wheels feature a polished finish with dark grey background, unique to the Special Edition model.

Inside, the TSX Special Edition makes use of sport-minded appointments including exclusive seating surfaces with perforated black Lux Suede inserts with red backing. Unique red stitching, used for the seats, steering wheel and the shift knob, combines with red lighting for the instrument cluster gauges, overhead lighting and footwell lighting. Adding more appeal to the driver's footwell are aluminum pedal covers with a race-inspired look. Rounding out the Special Edition's interior upgrades is the use of bright silver plating for the steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters along with black headliner material.

The 2012 TSX Special Edition makes use of Acura's acclaimed 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and is available with either the close-ratio six-speed manual or Sequential SportShift five-speed automatic transmissions.
