The good news is that the NSX will wear the vaunted Type S badge and come with hp version of the supercar's twin-turbo V-6 hybrid powertrain. The bad news: will be the NSX's last model year before it's discontinued, and only will be available for sale in the U. Along with the pumped up powertrain, the model wears tweaked front-end styling and Type S badging. Acura doesn't separate the NSX lineup into trims, so there's just a single model that you can customize to your liking.
Acura hasn't set a price for the new Type S model yet, nor do we have a detailed list of standard and optional features, but we'll update this story with that information when we receive it. In our testing, it still snapped off lightning-quick acceleration times and managed a 3. Its electric-only Quiet mode, however, gives it something its rivals don't have: discretion.
The V-6, the nine-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, and one of the electric motors work as a team to power the rear wheels. The other two electric motors operate independently to drive the front wheels, effectively giving the NSX all-wheel drive.
In Quiet and Sport modes, the steering is direct and accurate but light to the touch, which we think is an attempt to make the NSX feel maneuverable on a day-to-day basis.
Such a setup, however, feels out of place on such a performance-oriented vehicle. In Sport Plus and Track modes, the electric-power-steering system dials in more weight. Regardless of the setting, the steering is crisp, and the car responds smartly to the slightest of driver inputs.
Hybrid vehicles are more efficient in stop-and-go city traffic than their gasoline-only rivals, and the NSX is no different. Some versions of the car may eventually reach a lower plateau, but it is also possible that these cars will increase in price over time as they become rarer, and parts for maintenance and repair become more scarce and expensive.
As time passes, the value of the car may vary, but as a lower-production supercar, it is reasonable to stay that prices will stay high for quite some time and may even go higher in certain conditions. How much does the Acura NSX cost? Applications for purchase in Japan open Thursday, September 2, with the automaker saying deliveries are scheduled to begin in July If you're in the US, Acura is taking orders now, so you better hurry before they sell out.
