RIP NSX! 2022 ACURA NSX TYPE S REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Straight Pipes delivers a final farewell to the Acura NSX with the Type S, a potent send-off for this generation. The reviewers are consistently impressed by the car's blistering acceleration, noting it's "so fast" they might "throw up." They highlight the significant power increase (600 hp) and the hybrid system's seamless integration, making it feel substantially faster than its predecessor. While acknowledging its supercar performance, they praise its surprising daily drivability and comfort, calling it the "best daily evil supercar." Visually, they find it more appealing in person than initial impressions suggested, drawing inspiration from the GT3 race car, though some prefer the older NSX's styling. Downsides include a less-than-stellar infotainment system, basic cup holders, and the lack of a nose lift. Despite the high price point ($192,495 USD for the tested model), they strongly believe the NSX Type S will be a future collectible, retaining or increasing its value, making it a rare and special purchase for those who can afford it.
