Acura today announced that order books for the limited run of 300 special edition 2023 TLX Type S PMC Editions will open on October 6 at 10:00 a.m. PT (1:00 p.m. ET). As the first PMC Edition Acura offered in more than one color, that won’t be the last time order books open for the car.
Acura said that it will only open order books for the 100 TLX Type S PMC Editions that are being built in Curva Red. It will then take orders for the 100 examples finished in 130R White on November 9. The final 100 examples of the special edition, finished in Long Beach Blue, will be offered on December 8.
These 300 cars will all be handbuilt by the same technicians who build the Acura NSX Type S at the automaker’s Performance Manufacturing Center (PMC) in Ohio. In addition to the colors and the close attention to detail, the model also gets Berlina Black paint on the roof, antenna, and door handles. The exhausts, meanwhile, are finished in black chrome.

The cars will all also get 20-inch Y-spoke lightweight wheels that were inspired by the NSX. They are painted with a new copper finish that is being used for the first time on an Acura vehicle. The look is finished off by gloss carbon fiber trim pieces, such as the deck lid spoiler, the rear diffuser, and the lower side sill garnish.
Carbon fiber trim elements continue inside the TLX Type S PMC Edition and they’re joined by illuminated side sills and premium floor mats with Type S badging. The cars finished in Curva Red feature an Ebony interior that is highlighted by red contrast stitching. The 130R White cars get an exclusive Red interior, while the Long Beach Blue cars get an Orchid interior with blue contrast stitching.
Before each model is delivered, it gets the same treatment as the NSX, which includes a dyno check, a paint inspection, and a rough-road simulation. Each car is shipped from the factory with a specially designed car cover to protect its paint, and each reaches the dealer in an enclosed single-car carrier.
Acura says that the MSRP is expected to be in the low-to-mid $60,000 range, but offers no more details.
