2022 Acura NSX Type S

The 2022 Acura NSX Type S defined the final named programme of the second-generation hybrid NSX.

History and purpose

The 2022 Acura NSX Type S defined the final named programme of the second-generation hybrid NSX. Acura’s launch and production-start records establish a worldwide ceiling of 350 cars. The U.S. allocation is part of that global programme rather than another manufacturing run. Honda-badged market wording also belongs to the same programme identity. This profile follows the Acura example in the supplied photograph and retains Honda aliases for lookup. The announced scope is verified, while this package leaves the reconciled completed manufacturing tally unconfirmed. The first-generation 1997 Type S remains a different historical car with a different count.

Design and engineering

Acura’s launch specification gives the hybrid Type S a 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6, three electric motors, SH-AWD and a nine-speed dual-clutch transmission, rated at 600 system hp. A system rating is different from simply adding individual component figures. The supplied red customer car shows a low nose, dark front openings and a black upper cabin. Its frontal treatment makes the Type S visually distinguishable within the second-generation body. That view is documentary evidence of the named model, not an inspection of every hidden component. Installed software, battery condition and individual servicing history require records specific to the photographed car.

Identifying the original configuration

The source identifies a 2022 Acura NSX Type S photographed in Brooklyn on 4 May 2025. Keep the customer-car model year separate from the later photograph date. A particular example’s number and chassis should be connected to original delivery records before assigning a numbered identity. The Gotham Gray 70-car subset is contained within the global 350 and is retained as a programme alias, not another additive run. This red image does not illustrate Gotham Gray or an unseen charity chassis. Preserve paint, equipment and regional branding as attributes of the individual car while keeping the whole global programme consolidated.

Collector context and preservation

The hybrid Type S works well beside the original NSX Concept and first-generation Type S. Their photographs allow readers to follow distinct body and architecture ideas without assuming that a repeated name means the same engineering. The Ohio production-start record supplies the manufacturing location for this programme, while the marque’s Japanese parent remains separate metadata. A collector file should preserve delivery specification, numbered identification, servicing and later changes. Keep the announced 350 ceiling apart from regional sales and surviving-car registrations. That defined scope prevents duplicates and leaves future completed-production evidence room to strengthen the historical record without altering the programme identity.

Reading the evidence for this profile

The original source links below identify the programme and the historical statements used in this article. The photograph has its own creator and licence record, separate from the manufacturer’s vehicle history. Keep both when transferring this profile into a collection catalogue. A manufacturing tally describes how many cars belong to a defined original programme; it does not measure how many survive, how many are publicly visible, or how many retain all their original components. Those individual questions require dated chassis and restoration evidence. The reference year likewise describes the programme’s introduction or named historic configuration, while the supplied caption states the photographed setting and any established individual identity. This lets future research expand the car’s history without blurring the scope of the record already assembled here.

Specifications and verified rarity

Frequently asked questions

What is the Acura NSX Type S?

The worldwide 350-car final hybrid NSX Type S programme, shared by Honda and Acura market branding.

What engineering defines this vehicle?

3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 with three electric motors; Acura rating 600 system hp. Mid-engine hybrid architecture; SH-AWD and nine-speed dual-clutch transmission. The specifications describe the original programme or published concept proposal. An individual example’s installed equipment and any later changes need their own dated evidence.

Why does this profile use 2022?

This is the documented introduction or original configuration year. Photograph dates and market model years can differ. Keeping those dates separate makes it possible to follow the car’s development without creating a second identity for the same programme.

How should an individual NSX Type S be authenticated?

Connect the chassis identifier to original delivery, edition or custodial records. Compare period exterior, cabin and mechanical photographs with the documented configuration. Record replacement parts, paint changes and restoration work as dated events. A badge or colour alone cannot establish that a car belongs to this original programme.

What rarity or archive scope is verified?

Complete global final NSX Type S programme announced as 350 cars; the U.S. 300 allocation and Gotham Gray 70-car subset sit within that programme. Completed manufacturing tally unconfirmed in this package. Honda and Acura branding describe the same global programme, not separate runs.
