Three electric motors
The engineers didn’t spare any expense, because the car will receive three electric motors.
In SH-AWD all-wheel drive, the RLX is powered by an i-VTEC 3.5-liter V6 mated with a trio of electric motors. A double clutch seven-speed automatic transmission is available.
In total, the hybrid engine has an output of 377 horsepower for a power balance of 7.8 L/100 km.
The Acura RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD will hit showrooms by the end in 2014.
