The Acura Performance EV Concept Shows Off an Ultra-Modern Form
Michael Hemsworth — August 30, 2024 — Autos
The Acura Performance EV Concept was unveiled by the automotive brand during Monterey Car Week as part of its initiative to put high-end aesthetics and electric performance in the spotlight. The vehicle boasts a long wheelbase that's accented with muscular wheel arches along with chunky 23-inch wheels to put an athletic prowess in focus. The vehicle draws design inspiration from superyachts and the brand's own second-generation NSX, complete with a vented hood, side vents and a silhouette that's coupe-like.
The Acura Performance EV Concept is observed in the semi-matte Moonlit White Pearl paint color that's paired with neon green calipers on the high-performance brakes for a touch of sporty color. The vehicle is expected to go into production in late 2025.
