Acura Teases Precision EV Concept, Set To Debut August 18 in Monterey
Acura Teases Precision EV Concept, Set To Debut August 18 in Monterey-September 2024

Ok, so here’s the thing: I don’t usually care about concept cars. Typically, if we see one that’s amazing and totally something that a manufacturer should actually build, it never again sees the light of day after it does its little event circuit for a few months. That’s not usually the case with Acura, though.

See, Acura’s concepts have a history of not only being reasonable (aka lacking in insane claims) but reasonably close to production models. That’s why I’m super stoked about the Acura Precision EV concept that the brand is debuting in Monterey, CA, on August 18, during Car Week.

The Precision EV teaser shows a model that shares some design language with the already and models, but presumably without any of those other models’ internal combustion guts. Is it likely to be groundbreaking? Nope, but it is likely to be awesome.

What, other than its looks, can we infer from this short teaser video? Not a whole lot, to be honest, but that won’t stop us from engaging in a little wild speculation.

Neither Honda nor Acura have gotten too deep into the EV thing, with the U.S. only seeing , while Europe and Asia get the . What then will underpin this new EV model? Probably nothing from either of those models because both would come off as underpowered and without a sufficient cruising range for a modern luxury EV.

If Acura wants to be taken seriously with a production EV, it’d need around 300 miles of range and at least 250 horsepower, preferably more, but we’ll have to wait and see what the concept tells us.

What Do You Want To Know About The 2021 Subaru Crosstrek Sport?
I’m driving a new, blue, Subaru Crosstrek Sport this weekend and I’m pretty excited. I have always admired Subaru for pulling off one of the better cons on Americans. I mean, Americans love cons. We love getting conned. We love conning other people! We love it when we get...

There are plenty of factors contributing to the current warped world of locked-down travel, computer chip shortages and other disrupted supply and manufacturing around the world, but most of them currently relate to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

The Latest Nissan 400Z Prototype Spotted In Camo May Reveal How The Final Design Will Fill In The Nose
The upcoming totally redesigned Nissan 400Z concept and its profound dark rectangular grille was polarizing when it debuted earlier this year. This surprised me, considering it stayed incredibly true to the original Nissan 240Z’s look, but now it appears that the final production car may have literally filled in...

At $28,000, Could This 2001 Qvale Mangusta Have You Saying ‘Me Gusta?’
Though originally designated as the de Tomaso Biguà, the chassis design under today’s Mangusta went on to also underpin the MG XPower SV. Let’s see if this middle child is worth its very grown-up price. The biggest problem faced by yesterday’s was the competition. When taken at its $10,500...

At $7,799, Is This 2002 Mazda Miata SE A Limited Edition With Limitless Appeal?
While today’s MX5 is one of only 1,000 special SE models built, it’s been made even more unique by the addition of an aggressive body kit. That may not be to everyone’s taste, but it’s still to be seen if the price tag might. Alarmingly, many of you dismissed...
