The glorious second coming of the Acura NSX has nearly come to an end. With the 2022 model year, Honda says, “the NSX is celebrating its final year of production.” But on its way out, the supercar from Honda’s luxury brand will get its quickest edition.
“The NSX Type S,” the company says, “raises the already impressive performance of Acura’s cutting-edge electrified supercar to new levels, delivering more power, quicker acceleration, sharper handling, and a more emotional driving experience.”
A First for the U.S.
Honda has built a Type S edition of the car in the past but never sold it outside of Japan. The U.S.-made 2022 NSX Type S, however, will mostly be sold outside of Japan. The company plans a limited run of 350 of the cars, 300 of which make their way to American dealerships.
Pricing is unknown. The 2021 NSX starts at $157,500, plus a destination charge of $1,995. But a limited-edition NSX Type S of the car’s last model year is likely to become a collector’s piece. We expect them to sell well above sticker price, whatever the sticker says.
More Power. The Rest is Unknown.
We have no mechanical details yet. The current NSX uses a turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 and three electric motors working in concert to give it blistering acceleration – 2.9 seconds to 60 mph. Mid-engine balance makes it handle with precision. Most supercar cabins aren’t built to hold much more than two people and maybe a phone or a cup of coffee. But the NSX’s cockpit offers surprising comfort.
Honda says the Type S will be “powered by an enhanced version of the supercar’s twin-turbo V6 and Sport Hybrid SH-AWD [all-wheel-drive] system.”
The NSX May Be Gone, but Type S is Back
The NSX will be the third Acura model to get the Type S treatment. The Type S performance marque was off the market for more than a decade, but Acura recently resurrected it with the TLX Type S sedan and teased an MDX Type S SUV.
Honda says more information will come August 12, so tune back in then.
