GranTurismoEra Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 (edited) Honda's hit car is bowing out for the second time with some limited editions. https://www.autoevolution.com/news/2022-acura-nsx-type-s-due-at-monterey-as-swan-song-of-the-sports-car-166501.html?utm_source=newsshowcase&utm_medium=discover&utm_campaign&utm_content Edited August 3, 2021 by GranTurismoEra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Hit car seems stretching it I always thought there was a great car under there, hidden under some questionable styling. The interior especially was worthy of more, and whilst the outside looks fine in pics it’s lacking something in the flesh. Couldn’t tell you what, but something. Imagine one in the Lime Green that Honda offered the S2K in though… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) There was a hint of sarcasm hidden there somewhere. The interior did deserve a lot more effort. Acura apparently had borrowed some trimmings. I thought it looked great for 2017. Maybe it arrived a bit late to the scene. 1800kg very heavy. The tech behind it was already tried and tested in other models hybrid assist wise anyway. People were hoping for a mini version to replace the S2000. They probably looked at their other models and decided against. Much like the Honda E Coupe concept. They tried, price wise just a real shame as it could have appealed to the 70-100k looking for a super car but dont wana spend crazy. £180,000 wow, only seen a blue and a white one. The white one is local a real headturner for sure. Edited August 4, 2021 by GranTurismoEra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I thought they looked great but were overpriced and too slow given the price tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This ^^ One of my customers has one and I got a tour, they look great in the flesh, but for the price I would be shopping else where. The lowest spec one is $200K CAD so I dread to think how much the S will be 😱 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GranTurismoEra Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 Very sleek. Im guessing will be around £190,000 a pop. They should look at reducing the standard model but thats not going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmale4yu Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Hard to fault that. Love that it doesnt look bloated like the new Corvette and that they kept it fairly trim for a supercar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 200kg heavier and less power than the R8 V10 Plus launched in the same year doesn’t seem massively trim to me, tbh. And no, I couldn’t believe there was that much in it either! Against something like that, I guess it’s easy to see why it never really got going despite solid reviews. Numbers from wiki, btw.
