We love the Acura NSX, but today Acura shared some good and bad news about its hybrid supercar. The good news is that the 2022 NSX will see the introduction of a very limited Type S version, but the bad news is that 2022 will be the final year of NSX production.
The 2022 Acura NSX Type S will debut at Monterey Car Week on August 12. The limited production Type S will deliver “more power, quicker acceleration, sharper handling and a more emotional driving experience.”
Acura hasn’t announced the specs, but it will be powered by an “enhanced” version of the current twin-turbo V6 and Sport Hybrid SH-AWD system. Acura only plans to build 350 NSX Type S models with 300 of them being offered in the United States.
We can also see that the Type S version will get more aggressive front and rear fascias, including upgraded wheels. We’ll have to wait to see what upgrades it gets inside as well. We’re hoping that there are some tech upgrades.
“Acura is a performance brand, a company of enthusiasts, and we will continue moving forward, actively investigating what the next generation of sports cars should be in an electrified era.” said Jon Ikeda, Vice President and Acura Brand Officer.
