Honda is currently preparing to give the world a new generation of the Acura RL and the company’s president, Takanobu Ito has recently offered new details about the vehicle.
The executive told Automotive News that the company’s new flagship sedan will come with the Sport Hybrid SH-AWD system that will be featured on the fresh NSX. Unfortunately, he didn’t offer to many details, saying that “The thinking behind the RL and NSX systems is the same, but the NSX's will be more sports-car focused."

Previous reports indicate that the system will combine a petrol engine, which will power the front wheels, with two electric units, which will be connected to the rear wheels. The company hasn’t made any official announcement, but the new RL is expected to debut in concept form at the upcoming New York Auto Show.
