All 300 American 2022 Acura NSX Type S Order Slots Reserved In 24 Hours

Update, 09/20: Acura confirmed that confirmed orders have surpassed the 300 unit allocation for the U.S. The text has been altered to reflect the confirmation.

Although the Acura NSX has had a troubled life, with struggling sales, the excitement when Acura unveiled the swansong Type S was palpable. Sadly, for Americans still interested in buying one, you (probably) can’t.

All 300 of the NSXs Type S that were offered in the U.S. have been reserved. Motor1 reports that all of the deposits were snapped up within just 24 hours of going on sale.

“We have seen tremendous interest in the 2022 NSX Type S following its debut at Monterey Car Week,” an Acura spokesperson confirmed to us. “At this time, confirmed orders have far surpassed the 300 unit allocation for the U.S. market and new orders received are being added to a waitlist.”

To see the car out, Acura added 27 hp (20 kW / 27 PS) and 16 lb-ft (22 Nm) to the NSX to give the Type S a total of 600 hp (447 kW / 608 PS) and 492 lb-ft (667 Nm) of torque. The car is still powered by the same aluminum alloy twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 engine paired to three electric motors, albeit with several upgrades.

The Type S is also supposed to be the best-handling NSX of all time thanks to increased downforce from a better diffusor, a slightly wider track width, and a carbon-fiber roof. Buyers looking to shave a little more weight off can opt for the $13,000 Lightweight Package, which adds carbon-ceramic Brembo brakes, a carbon-fiber engine cover, and a carbon fiber interior package. All that combines for weight savings of 57.8 lbs (26.2 kg).

Prices for the NSX Type S start at $169,500, though the Lightweight Package pushes that up to $182,500. We already knew that interest in the car was high, though, since the very first model to roll of the line was auctioned off for $1.1 million in August.

With America’s 300 NSXs Type S spoken for, there are very few others to go around. We know that 30 have been slotted for sale in Japan, albeit as Hondas. Where the other 20 go remains to be seen, though we imagine they won’t exactly be easy to buy either.
