Acura has axed the NSX for 2022, but not without a proper send-off in the form of the limited-edition Type S.
Only 350 units will be made worldwide (300 for the U.S.), and while details are light at the moment, we do know that the 2022 Type S version offers “more power, quicker acceleration, sharper handling and a more emotional driving experience.”
We only have these teaser shots for now, but we won’t have to wait long to see the real deal. Acura plans to unveil the NSX Type S on August 12 during Monterey Car Week.

No price has been mentioned yet–just that the limited-edition NSX will be available for customer orders here beginning August 12.
As a bonus, here are a few of the teasers with the brightness turned up for your viewing pleasure.
Acura just announced that NSX Type S number 001 of 350 will be auctioned off during Monterey Car Week at Mecum's Monterey Auction on August 14.
All proceeds from the sale will "benefit charity, including an innovative STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) education program for underserved youth nationwide in partnership with the Center of Science and Industry (COSI)."
Ummm....can they even sell 350 of them?

Exactly. It's a car no one wanted. The first nsx was revolutionary. The second nsx was another ho-hum attempt by Honda Corp.

Plus, didn't we have to wait like 15 years for it? And it was here for what, 3 years?
Right, it might have been revolutionary if they had gotten it out on the original timeline and configuration. But by the time it finally made it to market there were like five other choices for "everyday supercar" and the nsx was just a $200k car with a Honda badge and a tlx interior.
Nobody wanted them new but their value in the used market seems strong. 4 years on and they're selling at 90% of what they cost new.
I had hoped this would be one of those "pennies on the dollar" supercars you could buy when it's 20 years old, but now I doubt that will be the case.

Not if the first nsx is any clue to future markets.

Tell me you've never driven a new NSX without telling me you've never driven a new NSX.
With the NSX I think a lot of prospective buyers thought the hybrid drive was an additional $50K bill for a car they wanted without it. At the $500K level that perception isn't there.

Rented. Drove. Handed back the keys. Not interested. How's that for a Tl;DR?
