2014 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD is the V8 alternative we've been waiting for (video)

If there's one issue we have with the Acura RLX, it's that it's not a particularly exciting car. It's a solid luxury sedan, but its standard V6 engine - complete with 310 horsepower and 272 pound-feet of torque - is lacking when you can snap up a BMW 5 Series with a 4.4-liter, twin-turbocharged V8. The RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD should address this complaint. While it retains the standard car's 3.5-liter V6, it adds on three electric motors - one 35-kilowatt motor in front and two 27-kW motors at each rear wheel, for a grand total of 377 horsepower.
