The second generation incorporated an all-drive drivetrain into these specifications. The new Acura NSX has weight-saving construction.

An all-wheel drive and a nine-speed dual-clutch automatic are standard.

The Acura CL comes second on the list of Acura’s fastest cars. This midsize coupe was also manufactured in two generations. Acura CL’s top speeds reached 153 mph. The second generation of this Acura model was fitted with a 3.2 liter V6 engine. The transmission was either a 6-speed manual or a 5-speed automatic. The 6-speed transmission model lacked a few of the interior features as compared to the automatic such as the center console light.

The standard version of the Acura CL put out 225 horsepower but there was a Type S variant that put out 260.
