Honda
NSX Type S (NC1, 2022)

Why it matters

The Type S closed second-generation NSX production and was the most powerful NSX made. Honda capped it at 350 cars worldwide, with only 30 for its home market, and every 2022-model-year NSX built was a Type S.

How rare is it?

Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.

Each kind of rarity is rated separately and never combined.

Production

Every figure says what it counts.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

Honda announced in August 2021 that second-generation NSX production would end in December 2022 with a limited final model, the Type S, and Acura revealed it at Monterey Car Week the same month. Output of the twin-turbo V6 and three-motor hybrid system rose to 600 hp combined, and a Lightweight Package and a matte Gotham Gray colour (limited to 70 cars) were offered.

The cars were built at the Performance Manufacturing Center in Marysville, Ohio; 300 were allocated to US customers and 30 to Japan.
