all-aluminum six-cylinder engine with variable valve timing
and lift electric control system. The happy result is a
blistering 225 horsepower and 216 lb-ft of torque in the
base CL model. Meanwhile, the Type-S produces 260 horsepower

dual-outlet exhaust, larger diameter throttle body, increased
compression ratio, and special intake valves, camshafts,
and cylinder heads.
Each of the Acura 3.2 CL Coupe models offers a five-speed

allows the driver to select gears manually or through a
fully automatic transmission. The base CL has a feul economy
rating of 19/29 mpg (city/hwy).

and rear crumple zones. Inside, passengers are protected
with dual stge front air bags, three-point seatbelts, had
