Acura also says the Type S is its quickest production car ever, and while no performance
2022 will be the final model year for the hybrid Acura NSX supercar, which launched in 2016 after a long gestation period. To mark the end of the NSX’s life, Acura is sending it off with an new higher-performance Type S model that just made its debut at Monterey Car Week with more power, improved dynamics and fresh styling.

The Type S retains the NSX’s hybrid setup, which features a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 engine paired with three electric motors. Type S-specific tweaks to the V6 include new intercoolers, new fuel injectors, and new turbochargers taken from the GT3 Evo race car. The engine’s output is now 520 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque, increases of 20 hp and 37 lb.-ft. over the standard car.

Acura also tweaked the hybrid system’s battery, giving it 10% greater output and
20% higher usable capacity, which allowed for more power from the electric motors
and a longer EV range (though Acura doesn’t specify how much longer). And the
gear ratio for the dual motors at the front wheels is 20% lower, increasing off-the-line torque.
Total output for the Type S is 600 hp and 492 lb.-ft., up 27 hp and 16 lb.-ft.

There’s a new Rapid Downshift feature that allows the driver to hold down
the left paddle for 0.6-second, at which point the transmission selects the

Upshifts in Sport and Sport Plus modes are 50% quicker when using the paddles,

with little fins that prevent wake from the tires. A carbon-fiber roof is now standard,
and there’s carbon on the side skirts and spoiler too. The mirrors, door handles and
badges are gloss black, the exhaust has a dark finish, and the head and taillights have
tinted lenses. Finally, the Type S gets decals on the quarter panels, a numbere
plaque on the engine cowling and a red engine cover.

The Acura NSX is dead and gone after this year. For 2022, the only NSX available will be the NSX Type S — a rowdy, 600-horsepower farewell to the Japanese supercar. And it was gone in the blink of an eye. Acura confirm the supercar is sold out in the US. Motor1 first reported the news this past Friday.
“We have seen tremendous interest in the 2022 NSX Type S following its debut at
Monterey Car Week,” an Acura spokesperson said. “At this time, confirmed orders
have far surpassed the 300 unit allocation for the US market.” Now, anyone who raises
their hand will have their name jotted down on the back of a napkin as they hope for
their very own NSX Type S.
I kid, they’ll be add to an official waiting list, but these types
of situations typically don’t see a hundred people slide into the allocation list,
or anything like that many. There are another 50 of these cars up for grabs throughout the rest of the world.
As I said, there won’t be a “regular” NSX on sale for 2022. Instead, Acura went all-in on the Type S as the last of the breed. The car first went on sale back in 2016 as a highly anticipated follow-up to the original underdog supercar. While the standard NSX made 573 hp and 476 pound-feet of torque, Honda and
Acura engineers cranked things up for the Type S. The twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 still works with three electric motors, but makes 600 hp and 492 lb-ft. A nine-speed dual-clutch transmission returns, too, but Acura retuned it for quicker shifts, naturally. We don’t have final specs for the car just yet, but Acura said last month
this NSX Type S will lap the Suzuka circuit in Japan two seconds quicker than the standard car.
The only good news is the Type S badge is far from dead. In fact, it’s expanding. The brand treated us to a new TLX Type S and an MDX Type S. Acura will also resurrect the Integra next year, and it’s a shrewd bet the Type S badge makes its way there as well. used 2017 Ram 1500 Tradesman Regular Cab 8′ Box 4WD
