  • The NEW NSX Type S is here and Acura is ready to make this be the best NSX ever. Under the engine hatch is a 3.5L twin-turbo V6 that is paired to electric motors to produce 600HP & is mated to a 9-speed DCT. On the outside you will discover a new front fascia, large carbon ceramic rotors, forged weeks, and carbon fiber bits. On the inside you will be greeted to an Alcantara & leather covered interior. Is the 2022 Acura NSX Type S a BETTER sports car than a C8 Corvette Z06?

      the car is nice but for 200,000.00 the people who can afford this car will go for a Lamborghini or some other car for a little bit more the c8 corvette start at 60,000.00 and you get a capable sports car for not a lot compare to its competitors then you gave tge c8 zo6 coming out and even if that car is double which I don't think it will be still a better value than the Acura car once again great car but I think the price is a little hight compared there competitors offerings.

      But that's the part they don't understand the base C8 is $100k cheaper than the NSX and a lot of other mid engine cars. A person will be able to buy the C8 for $70k throw another $10-15k in mods and it will dog walk a lot of other cars out here while looking good doing it. I don't understand the mentality of car manufacturers when they bring certain cars back and they put it out of reach from the gear heads that made the platform popular in the first place. Back in the day an average man could get his hands on a NSX now a days the new NSX it isn't possible. It will be a matter of time before you see the NSX getting gapped by an average Joe with his C8 on 1320 or any other channel like it smh.

      @@KSxPharaoh Let me tell you the MK4, R34, NSX and Supra I have gone to MANY Of car meets and "Cars & Coffee" and have witnessed grown men and children walk smooth pass the Ferrari's and Lambos to see those other cars. Legends are built from the ground up not the other way around. People who have tattooed manufacturers logo's on their skin giving allegiance to manufacturers those guys are the reason why the new NSX were able to bring the car back. Not some rich guy who has to check with his accountant if he can buy it because they are going through a mid life crisis. That's the exact reason why when the first gen new NSX came out in 17 they flopped because the guys who would have continued supporting them couldn't get their hands on it and the people willing to pay $200k for a car wasn't buying an acura, These are facts. These household brands chasing ferrari and Lamborghini prestige needs to understand that they are not those guys and it's ok not to be. That's why the C8 is taking the world by storm and these super expensive cars from everyday manufacture drift off into oblivion. Nobody wants to hear about their friends rich dad cousins uncles best friend talk about the driving experience they couldn't have because they can't afford it. Acura isn't the only brand guilty of this either there are many others manufacturers who did this dumb shit as well.

    I've always loved the NSX, but damn this refresh looks absolutely amazing! It's my favorite supercar simply due to the fact that you get top level performance AND unbeatable reliability. This is a supercar you can literally daily drive and not have to worry about it being finicky or unreliable. Also, that black and blue color scheme is just perfect, but it should have matching blue seat belts and contrast stitching in my opinion, not red. I would proudly own this car!

      The car isn't meant to compete with the Z06. By that measure the Porsche GT3/RS are all "way too high compared to the Z06". The NSX is very more rare and better looking than the Z. Plus it's hybrid tech.. Corvette isn't there yet. One go up in value; the other, while where my dollars will go, will not increase in value and in fact will depreciate into commoner hands and be seen everywhere.

    Both NSXs are my absolute dream cars and I know this didn't get so much love because of the price but at $200k (even the regular NSX went for that much with options) this car offers a lot of tech for the money. A hybrid supercar isn't something you see at this price. Reviewers getting 30-40mpg on a supercar is so awesome. Yeah a Lambo, Audi R8, McLaren get recognition but the NSX is so rare compared to those and people would be amazed to know it's an Acura. Only witnessed 4 in my life and sat in one in a car show haha. Always excited to watch any video about it.

    These are such great looking cars, and I miss my '17 Nord Gray with Orchid interior. But not too much as I replaced it with a new GT500. The C8 styling looks busy and angular as compared to this, while this looks like pure elegance with a touch of aggressiveness in the front. Totally different look. In addition to the well deserved zonk for lack of ventilated seats, I think it deserved a zonk for the lack of infotainment updates. Those two things were my chief complaint about the car. The audio simply has no bass; its like comparing an Apple HomePod Mini vs the standard HomePod.
    Why did I get rid of it? I live in a semi-rural to rural area and medical issues will soon make it difficult for me to drive an hour for me to get this thing serviced. You can't just get the oil changed at your local Honda dealer (no Acura dealer here) as they'll almost certainly get it wrong. It has 7 drain plugs and a pretty involved procedure to get it done, and the dealer back in California mentioned Acura requires specially trained dealer techs to work on the car.

I’d like Thermal Orange or maybe the yellow but both wouldn’t look good with red brake calipers. Yellow and red are ok but it’s a little bit Ronald McDonald. To change the caliper color you’ve got to get the lightweight package with carbon ceramic brakes. They’re cool but I’d rather have steel for replacement costs and the steel brakes only come in red. Difficult decisions. So basically if you don’t get a red, black, or white car then you’re paying more for the paint and more for the calipers to match. I wish i were slightly more wealthy lol.

This facelift did wonders for the NSX and I think it will draw in people who are in the market for a 911 Turbo or similar, but want something a little different.
