A twin-turbo V-6 and three electric motors team up for blistering acceleration but the system also enables quiet, electric-only driving so your neighbors don't have a cow every time you idle through your subdivision.
Of course, there are some downsides, including the dated cabin and infotainment system; the NSX's interior storage is also not generous.
We have good news and bad news. 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 Acura NSX comes in only one trim, but it can be augmented with myriad performance and styling enhancements.
Options for the NSX include full leather seating, carbon fiber add-ons for the interior, roof and rear spoiler and a range of exterior paint choices. Looking for a modern muscle car? Neither the U. As would one expect of any supercar, the NSX is as thrilling in motion as it is standing still. The seats are snug but not too restrictive, and the controls are logically arranged and easy to operate.
The headroom is far from generous, and taller drivers might find the legroom a bit on the snug side. Pressing the push-button gear selector sets everything in motion with varying degrees of urgency, depending upon the position of the Integrated Dynamics System. This makes it the most powerful road-going Acura ever! It rides on five-spoke, performance forged wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero tires.
