Default 2022 NSX Type S Reveal

Sad that this is the last year, but they finally come out with the much anticipated type S variant... Seems the NSX is going out with a big bang... Now has 600HP (slight bump from the base model, but still not enough)

Front end looks much better. I was considering one at one point and the only thing I didn’t like was the front bumper so I was only considering black because it hides the ugliness. With this new front end I would have gotten a different color.

Well i don't think the LC "F" is happening in 2022, maybe 2023?... So I'm hoping it comes out soon so i could decide between the Type S or the LCF

This change doesn’t do anything for me.

The front now is more generic and still strange looking.
I do like the update to the rear making it more aggressive.

27hp more lol

Dated headlight shape and pointy rear bumper mare the exotic car look. Was not a fan before and still not.

The regular trim is already overpriced and underwhelming. Now, the Type S is even more overpriced and underwhelming.

Liking the front end significantly more than the "base" NSX, edgy Lambo-like.

That was the major reason this car did not do well (besides the hideous font end bumper with mismatched grills)... ACURA had to give $40K incentive as no one was buying them the first years and then had TONS of leftovers! The base should have bee under $125K, and the Type S should be under $150K, but ACURA seems don't learn from their mistakes...

My thoughts exactly ... Seems they pulled a Lexus on us LoL.. Only bumping Hp by 1~2 just to mess with us. Remember when the track edition RC-F came out only 1 modest 1Hp increase? LOL

beautiful car!!!! OMFG


  • The 2022 Acura NSX Type S is a higher-performance variant of Acura's storied sports car that gains 27 hp, for an even 600 horsepower. Acura claims it's two seconds quicker around its Suzuka circuit than the 2019–2021 NSX.
  • Every 2022 NSX will be a Type S, and there will be just 350 sold worldwide, 300 in the U.S.
  • 2022 is also the last model year for the second-generation NSX.
To send off the second generation of the storied NSX mid-engine sports car, Acura is launching a new Type S variant for 2022 that made its debut at the Monterey Car Week festivities. Every 2022 NSX will be a Type S, and Acura says it's building just 350 of them globally, 300 of which are destined for the U.S. They're available to order now. It also marks the end of the line for the second-generation NSX, which launched for the 2017 model year. In the Type S press release, Acura boss Jon Ikeda says, "We're already exploring what the next generation of sports cars should be in the coming electrified era," which makes it sound like there won't be an immediate successor.
More on the NSX

2022 Acura NSX Type S Confirmed with More Power

The Prophet: 2017 Acura NSX Tested!

A Little Love for the Acura NSX, PleaseThe Type S gains 27 hp to an even 600, and adds 16 lb-ft of torque to 492. These are the combined ratings of the twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 plus three electric motors—two that power the front axle and a third that works in conjunction with the engine. The 75-degree-V-6's output is boosted from 500 to 520 horsepower through the use of larger turbos that deliver up to 16.1 psi of boost, 0.9 more than before.

Starting at $171,495, the Type S is an even $12,000 more than last year's NSX. However, the Type S gains a standard carbon-fiber roof, which was previously a $6000 option. The Type S's priciest option is the $13,000 Lightweight package, which sheds 58 pounds via carbon-ceramic brake rotors, and carbon-fiber engine cover and interior trim. That also represents a savings of $3700 versus the stand-alone option pricing for those bits.

Sharper, more angular features on the front and rear end make the Type S readily distinguishable. Also new is an available matte-gray paint. The so-called Gotham Gray is a $6000 add-on and is limited to 70 cars.

Get them while you still can; Acura is taking orders now. It's anybody's guess how many years it will be before the next NSX.

The word from a different site is that the 300 in the US have been sold already. Not sure on credibility of source.

Unfortunately any decent Sports car that is coming out is either sold out or has waiting list for 3+ years.

The only other way is to pay ADM to dealers then magically the car becomes available…..Personally i have never seen anything like this. Way too much $$$ floating around and very limited supply available.
