2022 Honda NSX Type S set to make its debut on August 12

Post the arrival of its second-generation in 2015, the Honda NSX is expected to get a more aggressive design along with a “Type R” badge. Well, the company now confirms that it will be introducing the new NSX supercar, paired to the looks of the Type S treatment. Sadly, there’s a sad caveat to the situation, the higher-performance NSX Type S will be used as a send-off for the hybrid sports car. 

Similar to the traditional NSX which was previously introduced to the market, the upcoming 2022 model year will be receiving a plethora of improvements to provide the buyers with a more appealing experience behind the wheel. 

As per the automaker, “the NSX Type S raises the already impressive performance of Honda’s cutting-edge electrified supercar to new levels, delivering more power, quicker acceleration, sharper handling, and a more emotional driving experience.”

The upcoming Type S is said to feature a more aggressive setup in terms of its suspension, revamped tyres and wheels, louder exhaust, and larger brakes to add performance to the vehicle. Rumors also suggest that the upcoming vehicle might receive minor styling tweaks. 

Upon looking at the teaser images that have surfaced on the internet, the 2022 Honda NSX Type S indicates elements of matte paint. Details on the powertrain suggest that the car will be driving over an enhanced version of the NSX’s 3.5L twin-turbo hybrid V6. The car is expected to churn out a total power output of some 573 hp. 

Lastly, while there are sparse details on the car, the 2022 Honda NSX Type S will soon make its debut on August 12 during Monterey Car Week. Only then can we expect to get the remaining details on this 350-unit limited production model.
