2010 Acura RL

The 2010 RL features a 3.7-liter SOHC VTEC® V-6 engine that delivers outstanding power and torque to provide brisk acceleration, effortless cruising and excellent fuel efficiency The crankshaft of the RL is positioned transversely (side to side) rather than longitudinally (front to rear) which allows the RL engine to be packaged more tightly for better handling agility, without sacrificing interior comfort. Rated at 300 horsepower, the high-output 3.7L V-6 is as powerful as some V-8 engines, yet the V-6 is lighter for better acceleration and more nimble handling.
The 3.7L helps ensure that drivers have plenty of torque available during normal driving by generating roughly 80-percent of peak torque available at a mere 1,000 rpm. The 3.7L V-6 features an engine bay cover assembly that simplifies the under hood appearance as well as focuses more attention on the engine. The 3.7L V-6 is teamed with a Sequential SportShift 5-speed automatic transmission with revised shift parameters, a more robust torque converter, and two forms of transmission gear activation. For simplicity the RL utilizes a straight-gate style console-mounted shifter coupled with racing-inspired steering wheel paddle shifters for more spirited driving. Grade Logic Control is paired with exclusive transmission shift programming to deliver improved performance and a crisper driving feel.
