Take a Look at the All-New Acura NSX Type S

The feeling is bittersweet, but the time has come. The 2022 Acura NSX Type S is a glorious hybrid supercar for the first and last time.

That’s right, Acura announced the Type S treatment for the NSX would only make it to this car for the 2022 model year and no others. In fact, this hybrid supercar ends the production after this year. This wonderful car is an amazing performer on every road and track and enjoys a limited production run with a total of 300 models made for the United States.

An Acura Truly Made in the USA

Where is this Acura built? The Marysville, Ohio facility pumps out these new NSX Type S models at a clip of one every 10 to 14 days. If you live near this factory, you can see your car being built by scheduling a tour for the right time. Of course, most of the 300 new owners will never make the trip to Marysville to see their car during production. That’s just fine, this car can rocket to speeds that will excite every driver.

The NSX Type S Packs a Serious Punch

There are very few hybrid supercars in the market, and all of them are limited-run models. The Acura NSX Type S is no different in that regard. This new, more aggressive car takes turbochargers from the NSX GT3 race cars to increase the boost level. You’ll find a beefed-up battery and a retuned nine-speed transmission that includes a new Rapid Downshift Mode. These changes give this amazing car more power than the 2021 version of the NSX. To be exact, how much more power; 27 horsepower and 16 lb.-f t. of torque. These changes bring the totals for the Type S to 600 horsepower and 492 lb.-ft. of torque.

There’s More than Just Added Power for this Car

A set of new lightweight wheels is added to the mix, wearing the P Zero ultra-high-performance tires used in the 2021 version. Several body parts are made of carbon fiber to help reduce the weight of this car by 58 pounds with the inclusion of the optional Lightweight package.

The results of these upgrades are amazing. Putting the 2022 NSX Type S against the 2021 NSX, the newer, lighter, and more powerful model lapped the Suzuka circuit in two seconds less than the older model. On the city streets, that’s not much time, but on a racing circuit, it’s an eternity.

What Are the Speed Numbers for the 2022 Acura NSX Type S?

This new Acura sports car can hit sixty mph in less than three seconds, making it lightning-quick right off the line. The top speed is limited to 191 mph, but it could reach higher speeds with the limits removed. These speeds put the NSX Type S n the same class as the Porsche 911 Turbo and Chevrolet C8 Corvette.

Driving this Car is a Dichotomyof Sorts

The Super Handling AWD system of the Acura NSX Type S won’t please racing drivers. This system is extremely intelligent and reads inputs thousands of times per second, but it can feel like the car is tracking around a curve. This car corners at high speeds, but drivers who are used to the rear end pushing out won’t feel that predictable feeling in this car. The Type S feels comfortable and smooth when you’re out on the highway, thanks to the standard adaptive suspension that soaks up the road for you.

The Right Cabin for your Supercar Experience

When you select a supercar, you don’t expect a limousine-like feeling in the cabin. The NSX Type S has a cabin filled with high-quality materials that are comfortable, compared to other cars in this class. You’ll have a useful infotainment system, a cargo area that’s large enough for a set of golf clubs, and the sporty style you desire. Pick up your date for the night in this amazing car, and they will love stepping in and heading out for a night of showing off in this beautiful Acura.

The Mid-Engine Style You Love in the NSX Type S

The Acura NSXType S build feels like the mid-engine gasoline-powered monsters from the likes of Ferrari and Lamborghini. That shouldn’t surprise you too much; the original NSX was a more affordable mid-engine car than what those other brands offered. The 2022 model brings a carbon-fiber roof, plus front, side, and rear aerodynamic items made of carbon fiber. Will you be one of the 70 owners in the United States to select Gotham Gray paint for your NSX Type S? That’s the limit for this special color as set by Acura.
