Acura NSX
The second-generation NSX will bow out after the 2022 model year. Acura’s supercar will have a final production run of 350 units. All of them are new Type S models with 600 horsepower on tap, the result of a twin-turbocharged V6 engine combined with three electric motors. Engineers have also revised and improved the nine-speed dual-clutch transmission. Other highlights include a rear diffuser, carbon fibre roof and new five-spoke alloy wheels.
