The second-generation '''Honda NSX''' (''New Sports eXperience''; model code '''NC1'''), marketed as the '''Acura NSX''' in North America, China and Kuwait, is a two-seater, [[Engineering:All-wheel drive|all-wheel drive]], [[Engineering:Mid-engine design|mid-engine]] [[Engineering:Hybrid electric vehicle|hybrid electric]] [[Engineering:Sports car|sports car]] developed and manufactured by [[Company:Honda|Honda]]. The car was developed in collaboration between the company's divisions in Japan and the United States, and all models were hand-built at a dedicated factory in Ohio. Production began in 2016 and ended in 2022 with the Type S variant. It succeeds the [[Engineering:Honda NSX (first generation)|first-generation NSX]] that was produced in Japan from 1990 to 2005. The development team had a goal of making the car suit a wide range of driving conditions, from high-performance driving on winding roads and racetracks to more relaxed street driving.

The car is powered by a bespoke 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine producing {{Convert|373|kW|PS hp|0|abbr=on}}, supplemented by three [[Physics:Electric motor|electric motors]] to bring the total power output to {{Convert|427|kW|PS hp|0|abbr=on}}. Two of these electric motors are mounted on the front wheels and the remaining one powers the rear wheels, allowing [[Engineering:Torque vectoring|torque vectoring]] for improved cornering performance, torque fill for improved acceleration, and instant torque for improved response. The NC1 NSX was among the first sports cars and the first car in its performance segment to use hybrid technology. The car received an updated version in 2019, with minor changes to the chassis and styling. For its final model year in 2022, a limited-production Type S model was introduced, with an increase in power to {{Convert|449|kW|PS hp|0|abbr=on}}, various tweaks to the chassis and transmission, and aerodynamic and styling upgrades. A total of 2,908 cars were produced, including 350 Type S models.

The second-generation NSX has been used in motorsports, with a GT500 class Super GT model competing between 2014 and 2023 and a production-based GT3 racing version debuting in 2017. It also won multiple awards, including 2017 Performance Car of the Year by ''Road & Track'' magazine.

===2008 and prior===
In July 2005, Honda's North American luxury brand [[Company:Acura|Acura]] announced that a successor to the [[Engineering:Honda NSX (first generation)|first-generation NSX]] was in development, with the original being discontinued at the end of the year.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2005-07-12 |title=Acura NSX Chronology |url=http://acuranews.com/en-US/releases/acura-nsx-chronology |access-date=2023-04-14 |website=Acura Newsroom |language=en}}</ref> Over two years later in December 2007, Honda America's CEO, Tetsuo Iwamura, confirmed to the automotive press that the new sports car would be powered by a V10 engine and make its debut to the market by 2010.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://wardsauto.com/ar/acura_nsx_2010/ |title=Acura NSX to Arrive in 2010 |last=Schweinsberg |first=Christie |date=December 17, 2007 |work=WardsAuto |publisher=Penton |access-date=December 17, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081210190647/http://wardsauto.com/ar/acura_nsx_2010/ |archive-date=December 10, 2008 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Potential styling of the car was previewed by the Acura ASCC (Advanced Sports Car Concept) introduced at the 2007 North American International Auto Show.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://jalopnik.com/cars/concept-cars/detroit-auto-show-acura-advanced-sports-car-concept-227098.php |title=Detroit Auto Show: Acura Advanced Sports Car Concept |last=Spinelli |first=Mike |date=January 8, 2007 |work=Jalopnik |publisher=Gawker Media |access-date=December 17, 2008}}</ref> Prototypes of the vehicle were seen testing on the Nürburgring in June 2008,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://jalopnik.com/396650/2010-acura-nsx-screams-around-the-ring |title=2010 Acura NSX Screams Around the 'Ring |last=Arnold |first=Mark |date=June 20, 2008 |work=Jalopnik |publisher=Gawker Media |access-date=December 17, 2008}}</ref> with Honda's CEO Takeo Fukui challenging the developers to make the car faster than the [[Engineering:Nissan GT-R|Nissan GT-R]] around the track.<ref>{{cite web |last=Hellwig |first=Ed |date=June 17, 2008 |title=Fukui Tells Honda R&D: NSX Must be Faster Around the Nurburgring Than the GT-R |url=http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=127306 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080715212123/http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId%3D127306 |archive-date=July 15, 2008 |access-date=December 17, 2008 |work=Inside Line |publisher=Edmunds.com |df=mdy-all}}</ref> On December 17, 2008, Fukui announced during a speech about Honda's revised financial forecasts that, due to poor economic conditions, all plans for a next-generation of the NSX had been cancelled; the company's profits had dropped by 81 percent due to the [[Finance:2007–2008 financial crisis|2007–2008 financial crisis]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.leftlanenews.com/acura-nsx-cancelled.html |title=Acura NSX Cancelled; Honda Slashes Forecast |last=Aziz |first=Nick |date=December 17, 2008 |work=LeftLane News |publisher=MNM Media, LLC |access-date=December 17, 2008 |archive-date=August 7, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180807033151/https://www.leftlanenews.com/acura-nsx-cancelled.html |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name=":14">{{Cite web |title=Honda NSX V10 – Dead on arrival |url=https://www.evo.co.uk/honda/nsx/204303/honda-nsx-v10-dead-on-arrival |access-date=2023-04-14 |website=evo |language=en}}</ref>

Although the road car project was cancelled, the company used the vehicle as a base model for a racing car named [[Engineering:Honda HSV-010 GT|Honda HSV-010 GT]], which they entered in the Japanese Super GT Series from 2010 to 2013. Honda was able to enter the HSV-010 GT on the basis that the base model was "production-ready", even though most cars in the series had to be based on production cars.<ref name=":14" /> As mandated by the class regulations, that car had a front-engined, rear-wheel drive layout, powered by a 3.4-liter V8, rated over {{convert|500|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}}.

===Debut===
[[File:Tokyo Motor Show 2015 (22747421125).jpg|thumb|Honda NSX at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show]]
On December 27, 2014, Honda announced that the second-generation of the NSX flagship sports car would debut at the 2015 North American International Auto Show, where the car was revealed on January 12, 2015. Honda began taking orders for the NSX in summer 2015, and deliveries in late 2015. In December 2015, the North American pricing was announced with a starting price of {{currency|156,000|USD}}.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2015/12/18/honda-acura-nsx-supercar-price/77562708/ |title=Honda Acura NSX SuperCar price |last1=Snavely |first1=Brent |last2=Woodyard |first2=Chris |date=December 18, 2015 |work=[[Software:USA Today|USA Today]] |publisher=[[Company:Gannett Company|Gannett Company]] |access-date=December 18, 2015}}</ref>

In February 2017, Honda offered a factory tour, exclusively for the 2017 through 2022 model years U.S. market NSX buyers, called the "''NSX Insider Experience''". The tour featured the NSX assembly at the PMC facility, a museum visit at the Honda Heritage Center, and racetrack driving at Honda's test track there. Also, owners of the non-delivered NSX could track their personal NSX being assembled and tested, and could place the Acura badge on the just assembled NSX. This factory tour was offered with packages from US&nbsp;$2,000 through up to $6,000 and each participant was guided by an Acura host in an [[Engineering:Acura MDX|Acura MDX]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Capparella |first=Joseph |date=2017-02-21 |title=Acura NSX Buyers Can Get "Insider Experience" at Central Ohio Factory and Test Track |url=https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a15343284/acura-nsx-buyers-can-get-insider-experience-at-central-ohio-factory-and-test-track |access-date=2022-03-05 |website=Car and Driver |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Visit the Birthplace of your NSX |url=https://www.nsxinsiderexperience.com/ |access-date=2022-03-05 |website=The NSX Insider Experience |language=en }}{{Dead link|date=February 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

The car is powered by an [[Earth:Internal combustion engine|internal combustion engine]] and three [[Physics:Electric motor|electric motors]], which combined deliver a maximum power output of {{convert|573|hp|PS kW|0|abbr=on}} and peak torque of {{convert|476|lbft|Nm|0|abbr=on}}. The engine, designated ''JNC1'', is a clean sheet design made exclusively for the NSX.<ref name=":19">{{Cite web |title=7 Fascinating Technical Facts About The 2017 Honda NSX |url=https://www.carthrottle.com/post/7-fascinating-technical-facts-about-the-2017-honda-nsx/ |access-date=2023-04-27 |website=Car Throttle |language=en}}</ref> It is a twin-turbocharged, 75-degree {{cvt|3493|cc|L CID|1|abbr=on}} DOHC V6 unit, with a maximum power output of {{convert|500|hp|PS kW|0|abbr=on}} delivered at 6,500–7,500 rpm. It has a broad torque curve, with its maximum torque output of {{convert|406|lbft|Nm|0|abbr=on}} arriving at 2,000–6,000 rpm, and it [[Engineering:Redline|redline]]s at 7,500 rpm. The engine is mounted longitudinally in a [[Engineering:Rear mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout|mid-rear layout]] and solely powers the rear wheels. It is a compact design mounted low in the chassis, with the top of the engine being located no higher than the top of the car's tires.<ref name=":21" /> The 75-degree V-angle of the engine is uncommon, as most V6 engines have either a 60- or 90-degree bank angle.<ref name=":19" /> This angle was chosen to have the best balance between a low center of gravity and minimum vibrations, with the lower and wider 90-degree V6s having inherent vibration issues and the 60-degree angle making the engine undesirably tall.<ref name=":19" /> The implementation of a [[Engineering:Dry sump|dry sump lubrication system]] further lowers the center of gravity, reduces the space required for the engine, and prevents engine oil starvation during high-speed cornering.<ref name=":20">{{Cite web |title=Development of New 3.5 L V6 Turbocharged Gasoline Engine for New NSX |url=https://www.hondarandd.jp/point.php?pid=1251&lang=en |website=hondarandd.jp}}</ref> Fuel is injected to the [[Engineering:Combustion chamber|combustion chambers]] via a DI+PI system; this combines [[Engineering:Gasoline direct injection|direct injection]] with port injection, with the latter being used to improve performance at higher [[Physics:Rotational speed|engine speeds]].<ref name=":20" /> High-tumble intake ports are also used, which, in combination with direct injection, enable quick and stable combustion.<ref name=":20" /> Hydraulic [[Engineering:Variable valve timing|valve timing control]] (Dual-VTC) is used in both the [[Engineering:Intake|intake]] and [[Engineering:Exhaust system|exhaust]] [[Engineering:Valvetrain|valvetrain]] systems, which also feature swing-arm type [[Engineering:Valve actuator|valve actuators]].<ref name=":20" /> The [[Engineering:Turbocharger|turbochargers]], positioned on both sides of the engine, are a single-scroll design and use electronic [[Engineering:Wastegate|wastegates]], providing a peak boost pressure of {{convert|15.23|psi|bar|2|abbr=on}}.<ref name=":16" /> To provide wear resistance, a [[Physics:Plasma transferred wire arc thermal spraying|plasma-transferred thermal spray]] was applied to the cylinder walls, improving [[Physics:Thermal conductivity|heat transfer]] and reducing weight compared to more typical [[Chemistry:Cast iron|cast iron]] cylinder liners.<ref name=":16" /> The NSX's engine is also used in the GT3 race version in "virtually 'bone-stock' form" unlike in other GT3 cars, according to Honda.<ref name=":21">{{Cite web |date=2020-01-29 |title=Video: The Magic Behind Acura's NSX Engine |url=http://acuranews.com/en-US/releases/video-the-magic-behind-acuras-nsx-engine |access-date=2023-04-27 |website=Acura Newsroom |language=en}}</ref>

The three electric motors were implemented to take advantage of the [[Engineering:Torque vectoring|torque vectoring]] capabilities, instant torque, added power and improved efficiency they bring.<ref name=":16" /> Two of these electric motors are mounted on the front wheels and the remaining one drives the rear wheels, with each of the two front motors providing {{convert|36|hp|PS kW|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|54|lbft|Nm|0|abbr=on}} of torque, while the rear motor produces {{convert|47|hp|PS kW|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|109|lbft|Nm|0|abbr=on}} of torque. Since the engine and the electric motors produce their peak power at different speeds, the total system peak output is {{convert|573|hp|PS kW|0|abbr=on}} instead of {{convert|619|hp|PS kW|0|abbr=on}}. In addition to the added power and torque, the electric motors can deliver their peak torque instantaneously, meaning they can further improve the car's acceleration and throttle response. As the front electric motors are able to instantly send positive or negative torque to the front wheels (the latter through [[Engineering:Regenerative braking|regenerative braking]]), they can create a [[Physics:Yaw (rotation)|yaw moment]] during cornering by sending more torque to the outside wheel, which in turn can improve cornering speeds and create a more agile feel to the car.<ref name=":19" /> This [[Engineering:All-wheel drive|AWD]] system, named Sport Hybrid SH-AWD, can produce a yaw effect in situations where typical mechanical ones cannot, such as when little or no throttle is applied, because the electric motors operate independently from the internal combustion engine.<ref name=":19" /> The motors can also provide torque fill during gear changes and lower engine speeds, resulting in more constant and linear acceleration. A 1.3&nbsp;kWh [[Engineering:Lithium-ion battery|lithium-ion battery]] is placed low in the chassis to lower the center of gravity.

The gearbox, designed and built in-house by Honda, is a longitudinal nine-speed [[Engineering:Dual-clutch transmission|dual-clutch transmission]] (DCT) that can be operated with paddle-shifters behind the steering wheel.<ref name=":22">{{Cite web |title=Longitudinal 9-speed Dual Clutch Transmission for 2nd-generation NSX |url=https://www.hondarandd.jp/point.php?pid=1233&lang=en |website=hondarandd.jp}}</ref> It was the world's first nine-speed DCT to be fitted in a production car. The first gear is intended to be a launch gear and the ninth gear is configured for highway cruising, with the seven gears between them (2nd–8th) being designed to make optimum use of the car's [[Engineering:Power band|power band]].<ref name=":16" /> Eighth is the ideal gear for achieving the car's top speed, while ninth gear drops the engine speed to around 1,700 rpm when cruising at {{convert|60|mph|km/h|0|abbr=on}}.<ref name=":16" /> The length of the gearbox was reduced by {{convert|120|mm|in|2|abbr=on|order=flip}} by eliminating the first-gear shift mechanism and sharing transmission gears, which Honda says contributes to a rear overhang that is {{convert|35|mm|in|2|abbr=on|order=flip}} shorter than in comparable cars with seven-speed DCTs.<ref name=":22" /> A [[Engineering:Limited-slip differential|limited slip differential]] is integrated into the transmission.<ref name=":16" />

===Chassis===
[[File:Edmonton Motorshow 2016 (26090973540).jpg|thumb|NSX aluminum wheels, optional [[Chemistry:Ceramic matrix composite|carbon-ceramic]] brakes and Continental tires]]
The NSX has a multi-material [[Engineering:Space frame|space frame]] made primarily of [[Chemistry:Aluminum|aluminum]], while its exterior body panels are mostly made from sheet molding composite and aluminum.<ref name=":23">{{Cite web |title=2017 Acura NSX Technical Glossary |url=http://www.nsxwiki.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/2017-Acura-NSX-Technical-Glossary.pdf}}</ref> Cast aluminum nodes are used as mounting points for the [[Engineering:Car suspension|suspension]] and engine, and in a world's first car application, the nodes in crush zones are formed using ablation casting technology.<ref name=":23" /> The A-pillars are made of steel, with their upper portion and roof rails formed of three-dimensionally [[Engineering:Bending (metalworking)|bent]] and [[Engineering:Quenching|quenched]] ultra-high-strength steel tubes – another first-ever application in an automobile.<ref name=":19" /> This allows the pillars to be thinner for better visibility while maintaining strong [[Physics:Structural rigidity|structural rigidity]]. The floor panels are made from carbon fiber, with a carbon fiber roof available as an option. According to manufacturer data, the NSX has the lowest center of gravity among its competitors and is also the most [[Physics:Stiffness|rigid]] car in its class.<ref name=":19" /> Its space frame has three times the dynamic torsional stiffness and twice the static torsional stiffness of the Ferrari 458 Italia.<ref name=":19" />

The car has a double-wishbone suspension setup at the front and a [[Engineering:Multi-link suspension|multi-link]] arrangement at the rear, and all four corners have [[Biology:Magnetorheological damper|magnetorheological (MR) dampers]].<ref name=":16" /> The MR dampers can continuously adjust damping forces in fractions of a second to better suit the driving conditions. A dual-pinion electric power steering system was adopted with a variable gear ratio ranging from 12.9:1 on center to 11.07:1, progressively becoming quicker when off center.<ref name=":24">{{Cite web |title=2018 Acura NSX Technical Specifications |url=https://www.acura.ca/Content/acura.ca/d6523f5d-026c-4317-a221-831b5036d437/KeySpecsJsonContent/18MY_NSX_Specs__EN.pdf}}</ref><ref name=":23" /> The vehicle's [[Engineering:Brake|brakes]] feature six-piston front and four-piston rear monobloc calipers made by [[Company:Brembo|Brembo]], with 370 mm front and 360 mm rear iron discs available as standard and 380 mm front and 360 mm rear carbon ceramic discs available as an option.<ref name=":24" /> The brakes are operated by a brake-by-wire system which simulates pedal feel based on factors such as the rate of deceleration, while the front electric motors can also provide braking force through regenerative braking.<ref name=":19" /> 19-inch front and 20-inch rear forged aluminum alloy wheels are fitted with either Continental ContiSport Contact 5 or optional track-oriented Pirelli P-Zero Trofeo R tires, which both have a width of 245 mm at the front and 305 mm at the rear.<ref name=":5">{{Cite web|date=2015-01-12|title=2016 Acura NSX Unveiled - AWD & Twin Turbo V6 Hybrid Included|url=https://www.motortrend.com/news/1501-2016-acura-nsx-unveiled-first-look/|access-date=2021-08-25|website=MotorTrend|language=en}}</ref>

As the car has a rear-mid-engine layout that is commonly found in high-end sports cars, more of its mass is on the rear axle than on the front with a 42/58 front-to-rear [[Physics:Weight distribution|weight distribution]].<ref name=":24" /> This can improve turn-in response and cornering speeds at the expense of reduced stability compared to a more front-heavy distribution. The car is equipped with an [[Engineering:Electronic stability control|electronic stability control]] system called Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA), whose intervention threshold and level depend on the driving mode selected, and which can be turned off entirely in Track mode.<ref name=":16" />

===Exterior===
The second-generation NSX has a length of 4470 mm with a [[Physics:Wheelbase|wheelbase]] of 2629 mm, while its height is 1214 mm and width is 2217 mm.<ref name=":24" /> The initial design of the car was conceived at Honda's design center in Wako, Japan; this was then evolved into the final production model by the Acura Design Studio in {{wipe|Los Angeles}}, US.<ref name=":16" /> The final production version is 80 mm longer than the 2012 concept and about 20 mm longer in width, height and wheelbase.<ref name=":25" /> The design team followed the philosophy of "form follows function" to try to achieve the optimum balance between [[Physics:Downforce|downforce]], [[Physics:Cooling|cooling]], and drag.<ref name=":16" />

The car produces around three times more downforce on the rear axle than on the front to aid stability, and it has a total of ten radiators.<ref name=":26">{{Cite web |last=Collie |first=Scott |date=2016-06-02 |title=Honda reveals some of the magic behind the NSX's aero package |url=https://newatlas.com/honda-nsx-aerodynamics/43641/ |access-date=2023-05-22 |website=New Atlas |language=en-US}}</ref><ref name=":16" /> The front bumper features large vents to get cool air flow into where the car's main radiators are located.<ref name=":26" /> This air is then released via vents on the hood, fenders and wheel wakes, which also create downforce on the front axle. These vents are shaped so that they help direct the air along the door panels into a large [[Engineering:Intake|intake]] for the engine compartment at the rear, with a floating C-pillar design enabling some of this air to flow to the rear decklid for downforce.<ref name=":26" /> The air exits out of the engine room through broad vents on the rear bumper as well as a small horizontal opening above the taillights.<ref name=":19" /> An optional carbon fiber rear [[Engineering:Spoiler (car)|spoiler]] further increases the level of rear downforce.<ref name=":19" /> Underneath, the car has a flat underbody and a rear [[Engineering:Diffuser (automotive)|diffuser]].<ref name=":16" />

Eight different exterior colors were offered on the original pre-update models, three of which were optional pearl and metallic paint schemes, while two were special aerospace-grade "Andaro" colors.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Curtis |first=Michael |date=2016-02-27 |title=You can Launch the 2017 Acura NSX into Space with Optional $6,000 Paint |url=https://tflcar.com/2016/02/can-launch-2017-acura-nsx-space-optional-6000-paint-news/ |access-date=2023-05-22 |website=The Fast Lane Car |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Honda Approves PPG for Flagship NSX |url=https://www.coatingsworld.com/issues/2015-11-01/view_breaking-news/honda-approves-ppg-for-flagship-nsx/ |access-date=2023-05-22 |website=Coatings World}}</ref><ref name=":16" /> Two wheel designs were available: a slightly lighter Y-spoke wheel and a more stylized interwoven design. The latter was offered with a 3D-machined, polished or painted finish.<ref name=":16" /> [[Engineering:LED|LED]] headlights, taillights and daytime running lights are used for lighting.<ref name=":16" />

===Performance===

On August 3, 2021, Honda announced it will produce an improved, limited-production NSX Type S for 2022 to mark the car's final year of production. The NSX Type S will be limited to 350 units worldwide, with 300 of these units available for the U.S. market, 30 for Japan and 15 for Canada.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Acura Debuts Limited Production 600hp NSX Type S at Monterey Car Week|url=https://hondanews.ca/en/acura/press-release/Acura-Debuts-Limited-Production-600hp-NSX-Type-S-at-Monterey-Car-Week-|access-date=2021-09-18|website=hondanews.ca}}</ref> The Type S will be the only version of the NSX that will be produced during 2022. The moniker was last used in the NSX on the 1997 [[Engineering:Honda NSX (first generation)#1997 NSX Type S (JDM)|NSX Type S]] and [[Engineering:Honda NSX (first generation)#1997 NSX Type S-Zero (JDM)|Type S-Zero]] models that were exclusive for the Japanese domestic market, meaning that the 2022 version will be the first NSX Type S to be sold out of Japan. The car was unveiled on August 12, 2021 at the Monterey Car Week in the United States, and on August 30 in Japan.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a37201945/2022-acura-nsx-type-s-confirmed/|title = 2022 Acura NSX Type S Confirmed as a More Powerful Send-Off|date = August 2, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.carwow.co.uk/honda/nsx/news/5488/2022-honda-nsx-type-s-price-specs-release-date|title = 2022 Honda NSX Type S revealed: Price, specs and release date}}</ref>

The NSX Type S features several enhancements to the NSX's powertrain, providing a combined maximum power output of {{convert|602|hp|PS kW|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|492|lbft|Nm|0|abbr=on}} of torque.<ref name=":6">{{Cite web|date=2021-08-12|title=Acura Debuts Limited Production 600hp NSX Type S at Monterey Car Week|url=https://acuranews.com/en-US/releases/2022-acura-nsx-revealed-at-monterey-car-week|access-date=2021-08-13|website=Acura Newsroom|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Honda NSX 公式情報ページ|url=https://www.honda.co.jp/NSX/|access-date=2021-09-18|website=Honda公式ホームページ|language=ja}}</ref> Enhancements to the [[Earth:Internal combustion engine|internal combustion engine]] include new [[Engineering:Turbocharger|turbocharger]]s from the NSX GT3 Evo race car that increase peak boost pressure by 5.6 percent from {{convert|15.2|psi|bar|2|abbr=on}} to {{convert|16.1|psi|bar|2|abbr=on}}, new [[Engineering:Fuel injection|fuel injectors]] which increase flow rate by 25 percent, and new [[Physics:Intercooler|intercooler]]s that can dissipate an additional 15 percent more heat than previously. As a result of these upgrades, the internal combustion engine now generates a maximum power output of {{convert|522|hp|PS kW|0|abbr=on}} at 6,500–6,850 rpm and {{convert|443|lbft|Nm|0|abbr=on}} of torque at 2,300–6,000 rpm.<ref name=":8">{{Cite web|date=2021-08-12|title=2022 Acura NSX Type S Specifications|url=https://acuranews.com/en-US/releases/2022-nsx-specifications|access-date=2021-09-18|website=Acura Newsroom|language=en}}</ref> The [[Engineering:Gear train|gear ratio]] of the Twin Motor Unit powering the front wheels was lowered by 20 percent to improve torque off the line and give the car a quicker launch, while the car's usable battery capacity and battery output have been increased by 20 and 10 percent, respectively, as a result of more efficient usage of the car's Intelligent Power Unit. Because of the improvements in battery capacity and output, the car's [[Physics:Electric motor|electric motor]]s have been retuned to offer better performance and a higher electric-only range.

A new "Rapid Downshift Mode" was introduced, allowing the driver to shift to the lowest possible gear according to the car's speed by holding the downshift paddle for 0.6 seconds in Sport, Sport+ and Track modes. In fully automatic mode, the transmission downshifts earlier in Sport+ and Track modes.

The Type S features several new design elements to improve [[Physics:Downforce|downforce]] and [[Physics:Internal combustion engine cooling|cooling]] through enhanced aerodynamics. These include a new nose design and a large [[Chemistry:Carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers|carbon-fiber]] rear diffuser based on the one used on the NSX GT3 Evo. The car also has new forged split-5 spoke wheels, increasing front track by {{convert|0.4|in|mm|0|abbr=on}} and rear track by {{convert|0.8|in|mm|0|abbr=on}}, and new semi-slick Pirelli P-Zero tires developed exclusively for the NSX Type S, which have contributed to the car's lateral grip increasing by six percent. Honda also optimized the car's chassis, suspension and response, re-tuned its four drive modes, and refined its engine note. Also, black [[Company:Honda|Honda]] and [[Company:Acura|Acura]] badging offered exclusively for the NSX Type S just like other Type S models. As an optional feature, a "Lightweight Package" was introduced, reducing 26&nbsp;kg (58&nbsp;lb) from the car's curb weight with carbon ceramic brakes, carbon fiber engine cover and carbon fiber interior parts.<ref>{{Cite web|title=2022 Acura NSX Type S is the most powerful NSX ever|url=https://www.autoblog.com/2021/08/12/2022-acura-nsx-type-s-reveal-most-powerful/|access-date=2021-08-13|website=Autoblog|language=en}}</ref> Also, a new exclusive body paint color, named "Gotham Gray Matte" on North American models and "Carbon Matte Gray Metallic" on Japanese models,<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-08-30|title=NSX｜Honda公式サイト|url=https://www.honda.co.jp/NSX/|access-date=2021-09-18|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210830120657/https://www.honda.co.jp/NSX/|archive-date=August 30, 2021}}</ref> was offered, which is limited for 70 vehicles.
