Is the 2022 Acura NSX Type S the BEST supercar you will REGRET not buying?

- FIRST DRIVE: The NEW NSX Type S is here and Acura decided to raise the performance bar before killing it off. On the outside of the Type S you will find a redesigned front fascia, rear fascia, new forged wheels, optional carbon ceramic brake rotors, and standard carbon fiber roof. On the inside there are carbon fiber accents, leather/Alcantara seating, and digital gauge cluster. Under the engine hatch the NSX's 3.5L twin-turbo V6 mated to (3) electric motors now produces 600HP & is mated to a 9-speed DCT. Is the 2022 Acura NSX Type S the BEST supercar you will REGRET not buying?

I would absolutely trade my 2010 Honda Odyssey for one of these.
The best comment of the day!
Lol
Now that would be an upgrade!
😂
@Daniel Silver I hear ya! 😂😂😂
now THATS an acura! this is the car my TL wants to be when it grows up!
@akult isgod Mine too, what year do you have? I have a 2014.
I'm so freaking jealous of you Joe. Getting to get in the driver's seat of a absolutely stunning car and drive it at 130+ mph on the Daytona speedway.
You and Lori absolutely deserve it though putting in all the long hours making some great videos.
I am so glad that we could bring it to you! Thanks for being so supportive!
@@RaitisRides hard work pays off. Keep it up, I would like to see Joe review the 2023 TRD PRO Sequoia.
Would have been nice to see the car push the limits way more, esp. on a speedway. I used to drive my Maserati on an open road almost this fast, so I'd say a little dissappointing..(the Mazi is long since sold), and I'm a huge Honda and NSX fan (had a 99NSX..that was classic).
"This is what it should have been in 2016" this man tells the truth.
I Love how you go above and beyond to give us an in depth experience on every vehicle. Your wife is the best camera woman in the business . She gives us the exact angle Of what you are describing When you are reviewing a vehicle. You 2 compliment each other And make a great team. Keep up the GREAT work. 🤘
That is so awesome of you to say Jeffrey! We want to bring you the best!
The nsx is one of my current favorite cars, I’ve driven one, and it’s truly underrated and under appreciated. The reason? The price. It should have been 110-130k. At 150+ I think the Porsche just makes more sense. At 171k you might as well just go for a gt3.
Facts
More to the point, you mean the price for the brand perception wise. Had this car been a Lexus or a European brand, the price would have been more accepted by the market. I too drove one, a 2019, for an entire day. I was surprised at just how much I liked it.
Aside from the lack of a beefy V8 engine sound and interior that doesn’t fully match the luxury feel of a Lambo/R8, etc., this car is truly special.
I would gladly sell my old R8 for a used NSX if not for 2 reasons:
1) After the global chip shortage, a used NSX has gone up in price to the point of being equal to what I could have paid for one new in 2019.
2) The Type S grille/front bumper design instantly makes the prior one look very dated and even more unattractive. I have google search notifications set for aftermarket NSX Type S front bumper conversion. If someone makes it available, I’ll start shopping for a used NSX again.
@@flight815 damn dawg ur living large. That's fire
@@realmigra375 thanks but I’ve got a long way to go to be living really large. If I had it like that now, no doubt I would have been in line for the Maserati MC20.
Start a business in a big enough industry and then anything is possible.
So mike, let me ask you a question. What do you think a fair price is for a TT V6 Hybird supercar? McLaren has their 2022 Artura coming out and it's a 3.0L TT V6 plug-in hybrid for $225K base and Ferrari has it's 2022 296GTB a 2.9L V6 TT plug-in hybrid for $349K. Same tech as the NSX only with evolved electric motors and a lighter curb weight. I think then most people will realize Honda was giving a very reasonable deal on their NSX at $157K MSRP for the tech that was only available in the 918, LaFerrari and P1 prior to 2017. All those comments I have read with people whining about the NSX price will kick themselves when they have to pay the brand tax for simply have a Kiwi or a Pony on the hoods of their little V6 hybrid supercars LMAO.
Acura really nailed it with the redesign on the tlx and especially bringing the type s version of that and now with this absolutely beautiful, beast of an NSX. People really gotta stop sleeping on this car and this brand.
I totally agree with you!
I don’t think people are sleeping on it, I just think it’s just out of reach for a lot of us.
Don’t forget the RDX which started the new design language and the gorgeous MDX
When you adjust for inflation, the regular ‘17 NSX ($150k) was valued at about just as much as the NA1 ‘91 NSX ($90k) when it came out. It was out of reach just as much then as it is now.
Acura is the one sleeping...the type S can't even beat a Kia. The Integra looks like trash. I'm saying this and I have owned 5 Acuras, but since early 2000s they have fallen off a cliff
Joe I am so proud of what doors have opened up for you after all the hard work and dedication you have put into your channel! Keep up the great work!
Gotham grey is an sick colour. Love the latest NSX. What an amazing experience. You are by far the best and most thorough automotive reviewer out there, anywhere. Always appreciate all your contents.
The perfect car for Batman!
I love that color!
Another awesome video! I remember seeing the original NSX back in the 90s, the "wow" factor was all over that car. This car is great too, but it gets lost among the more exotic cars out there. Keep up the excellent work, Joe & Lori!
We are so glad to bring it to you!
It's already sold out everywhere. Unless you're already on the list, you ain't getting one straight from the manufacturer, unless you'd be willing to pay more from a reseller. There's not a car in its price range I'd rather have over it. It's sexy af and is very reliable daily driver (underneath is a tried-n-true Honda 3.5L V6 that's been known to be super reliable).
Not gonna lie, I got butterflies watching that speedometer climb above 130mph 😯.
I'm a tad envious, but more so happy that you get to have these experiences. You guys deserve all the good things coming to you 💕✌
You know what....I have to hand it to you, this is the BEST video of the NSX I have ever seen. I loved EVERY second, and your enthusiasm. Well done sir, this is a great video! And I watch a lot of em
That means the world! I appreciate that so much!
First, I can't get over that perfect yellow paint! The carbon fiber appointments are exceptional, too. The exhaust note isn't that throaty, however... nobody will care! Its performance speaks for itself. Wow... just so cool! Thanks, Joe & Lori!
You nailed it David! Thanks for letting us share it with you!
I think that the exhaust note is a definite minus. As tested, 192k...everything matters!
I love how this is essentially a relaunch for the NSX. Time to get much more deserved recognition and mindshare!
You got that right!
That was a treat for me to see this on throttle on track. Supper review. I’m going to watch it over and over again and share with my friends
Yeah this review was absolutely awesome!! 130+ mph on the Daytona Speedway are you kidding me?!!!! so fire. Much love and respect for what you do. Love your videos and energy as do many more in the comments. Still wondering why the NSX is not more popular than it is.??
Lori is the backbone of RR bringing great video content to us viewers. Mahalo for your hard work in what you do. RR is the best in bringing full car in depth reviews! 🤙
You better believe it my friend! She is the best in the biz!
Compared to the Corvette Z06, totally overpriced. The track experience was weak ann my comment is coming as a racer who has driven at Daytona.
The NSX is a beautiful car. Love the deep red color. I saw 139 on your speedo. Not too shabby. Thanks for sharing your experience and the review. Also great job Lori! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Thanks Larry for letting me share it with you!
Joe and Lori….you guys rock. Your everywhere and work hard to bring relevant info to us in great settings. Thanks. Congrats to Lori….great video work.
You deserve the best Dean!
You are so enthusiastic and that is what makes your videos so watchable. Great vid!
I appreciate you saying that and being part of the Raiti's Rides family!
That new gray is breathtaking. Awesome work guys as usual.
It really fits it spot on.
Absolutely love this Type-S NSX!!! Great review, as usual. Expected a bit better tech but this is not the main point of this vehicle. Also, pricing is now approaching Lambo territory. Love that yellow though. 💛
They nailed it with the performance!
I love it. Felt like I was riding in the passenger seat. Thank you Lori for the great camera work. Keep up the great videos.
Man I wasn't driving it but I still had that smile on my face when he was on the track as if I were driving it lol. Great review
Great video 👍🏾 and I thoroughly enjoyed the drive around the track! Loved 🥰 the blue and dark red colors! 💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️! Congratulations Lauri!!
Thanks Terry for taking the ride with me!
this is the most underrated supercar of time itself, it's a shame to see it go but im 99% confident they'll bring it back in a couple of years. ppl need to stop sleeping on acura.
Most definitely, people have been missing out on Acura so much lately. The new TLX Type S is so impressive. I'll keep the faith with you, that the NSX will be back.
Gen 3 is already in the works. 100% EV supercar. Trust me it's coming and it won't disappoint.
In yellow and the way you film the interior it looks so much better than on Doug’s channel. Well done 👍
I’m glad I found your channel, inspiring me to work harder the best at it.
That means the world! Thank you!
I feel like that $13k option pack should come with a few laps around Daytona for everyone that buys it. 😉
I agree. That's the least they should do. Hey, I got 4 days of racing, all expenses paid, at Le Circuit Mont-Tremblant when I bought mine in '91. Got the jacket and a sticker to prove it. ;-)
@Moflow You got that right!
Man this gotta be the best car review channel. Joe is so cool
Thanks for having my back!
Thank you so much for sharing your awesome experience! The thing looks and sounds awesome! Keep up the good work!!
Amazing video like always Joe! What an experience we got to go around Daytona with you on that beautiful NSX! The track seemed so familiar since playing Gran Turimso so much! Lol You're living the dream man keep doing what you do!
Looks gorgeous now! Was not expecting the track experience, must have been a blast!
@Raiti's Rides, holy CRAP is that the new Yellow Integra in the far back!??! REVIEW THAT ONE JOE CMON!!! 🤩🤩👍
It was out of this world!
I know right!
Super awesome car, thanks for great feedback on this amazing car. In 2016/2017 some UA-cam reviewers ruined the sale of this highly engineered reliable and future classic. Another downfall included greedy dealerships markups, which they are doing again. I'm happy FORD is doing something about these greedy dealerships that hurts everyone and robs everyone.
Thanks Joe and Lori for this special treat. Better than any Acura advertising…you belong on their payroll for this!
Joe & Lori, terrific review as usual!! I'd either want one of these or a Mustang Shelby GT500 with the track pack! Never hurts to dream lol
This one looks good in any color 😍. Another great video for the record. 👍
Thanks brother!
you have such good energy bro, it really does set you apart from other reviewers
Thanks Trent! That really means the world!
Loved the review man, ESPECIALLY the on throttle! I am so envious!
great review Joe its on my 10 fav list of mid engine car s
Same here! Thanks for letting me share it with you!
What's not to like about this car? Great review! I'd love to be able to have that track experience you had with this car. I had the opportunity to drive a Lambo 5 years ago on a small course and absolutely loved it. Keep up the good work guys!
I am so glad that I could share it with you!
It's got nannies you can't turn off. It's built more for Starbucks runs in Oramge County
Haven't tuned in for a bit. 724k subs. Outstanding. Joe is a 1 take machine. Nice work.
Awesome job reviewing and driving that beautiful 😍 Type S NSX !!! I watched this on my big screen and it felt like I was there riding along with you. Appreciate you very much !!! I'm not a big fan of yellow 💛 colors, but on this one it looks beautiful 😍 👍🏼🔥💪🏽👊🏽
That is so awesome Luis! I am so glad that I could take you along for the ride!
Hey Joe- Just to clarify for your viewers, these NSX Type S versions are NOT available and were already spoken for as soon as the ordering books opened. Only the larger Acura dealers received allocations and a lot of them then demanded very large markups over MSRP. There was no special consideration to those of us who had purchased 2017-2021 models in the past. Anyways, I just wanted to point that out because from watching your video they might be thinking they will be able to go out and grab one of the 300 cars but as someone that attempted to I can say that unfortunately doesn’t appear to be possible.
There will be dealers selling them
@@RaitisRides @$50-100k perhaps
@@RaitisRides From Car & Driver Magazine: “Buyers have already spoken for all 350 examples of the 2022 NSX Type S. In fact, Acura told us more than 700 people reached out inquiring to buy one, so unfortunately if you aren’t one of the lucky ones to have secured one, you won’t have another chance as this will be the swan song for this generation of NSX ....and all of this means that the supercar that has long suffered from poor sales figures ended production in relative demand”
Saw those at the Rolex this year as well. Love these cars, but out of my price range. Would totally buy one if I could. Agree with you on the refresh of the front end; much improved. That red in the sunlight is gorgeous. By the way, thought the race was excellent this year!
It was an excellent race! I am so glad that you enjoyed this one.
I am so happy for you I got my cla45 and the way you talk about the nsx I need one
Joe puttin up the BIG #'SS in Subbs...still loving the in depth reviews. A major plus is presenting the engine bays. I'm amazed at this twin turb V6...Carbon bits are def the way ta go.
I personally think this car should have been the refresh in 2019 after sales tanked. The Type S should have been similar to this with 650Hp.
That would have been a great way to go!
Hell yeah! Got my popcorn ready for some On Throttle! 💪
Get some extra butter because this is going to be good.
Yayayayaya
@@Gen10civic LOL
That yellow is gorgeous!!! Great vid!!!!
That thing was so planted on the track. Felt like I was in the car on the speedway!!! Awesome!!
Dream car for sure. It's beautiful at every angle
They did a great job!
Thank you for sharing the experience , the NSX is the supercar to get, and thank you both for putting the hard work to bring us these videos.
You are so very welcome Juan!
That was a great review! Congrats on test driving the NSX on a legendary track!
This thing is a STUNNER! I already regret not being able to buy one 😔 Again, thanks for the look at this beauty and great job Joe! BTW, great driving on the track! This NSX is so planted at 130+ MPH and it still looks like she had so much more to give. WOW! Really top tier stuff. Thanks again!
You got it!
I have to admit that this NX is fantastic I love it well done Acura
AGREED!
Not that I find this generation of NSX not stunning or beautiful, but I believe the original NSX for the era that it was produced, was a better head-turner and showstopper even though it didn't have remotely the power that the current NSX has! As always, love your vids Joe! Keep the throttle coming!
You got it James!
Yep. I had one and I can't agree more.
Read my post. I was around and an adult when the original NSX hit and it was awesome. This car is not.
@@TheFadingTheory I think this car is beautiful, but it can't hold a true candle to the original NSX! This current NSX design would BE better suited with a Lamborghini name on it.......not NSX!
👎🏾
Its always exciting to see your videos man on Every car, such great content, thanks so much, keep up the good work we appreciate a good detailed car reviews like this one.
That means the world Edwin! Thanks for being so supportive!
Great review and camera work by Lori. If I had the money, to throw away, I'd get a Corvette Z06, However, got to hand it to Acura, they've developed the NSX into a world class Supercar. I remember when this came out, I drove an RDX for Acura, for the NAIAS and they are a great organization as this vid shows.
It looks amazing now, was pretty good before. Killer reviews as always! Hardest working reviewer in all of UA-cam!!
I am so glad that you are digging this NSX Type S! Thanks for being so supportive!
Definitely a hot ride ♥️🔥🔥🔥😁
I’m in love with it!
@@RaitisRides Lol me too 😂💯
@@ultimategrimreaper6499 You have good taste!
@@RaitisRides thanks, so do you 😂😁♥️
The thing that impresses me the most about this car other than the fact that’s it’s stunning and underrated, is the fact that every single color is flawless. I’m a red guy myself but I thought “oh ok never mind so that blue, now wait hold on that yellow, oh ok Gotham grey”. I mean what a beauty.
FREAKIN AMAZING!! YOU HAVE THE BEST JOB IN THE WORLD!
Love this thing. I took the non-Type S for a few laps at a local track and had a blast (not that I have a lot of supercar experience to compare). I can understand buyers wanting a more exotic badge for the money, but I'd be all over this if I could afford it.
I know how you feel!
Love the small facelift, looks great. Love the type-s but the real question is where is the type-r nsx?
Nope there will not be one.
Those background racing noise is just soooooo op can't get enough of those

It's weird but I was literally just on the configuration page, then went to my youtube subs in order, and this was near the top
That is greaing awesome!
My goodness. I love it. Amazing review, man!

Never apologize for others going "on throttle." On throttle is what we live for.
And 👍,this is something that Acura fans will likely want and will regret not getting.
You know it!
My dream car…AMAZING !
I am so glad that you are digging this one.
Raiti's Rides This car is incredibly amazing …and Honda has the most trustworthy cars. sad thing is that in Israel it will cost more than 2 million shekels (which is about 700k us dollars…😞) so good thing i've got your great videos, to me it is the most close i'll ever get to this car☺️😅
Fantastic stuff. Joe’s bringing some heavy action! Love the car!
I really hope Acura sees your video and gives you one. You really love this car and deserve one
That would be fantastic if they did!
Absolute sleeper, can't understand why it's not more popular.
Tell me about it. Not so sure I would call it a sleeper though.
I have friends that own super cars and they say the nsx doesnt provide super cars emotion. It may look to us as nice but when you have money and you drive all the other brands like Lamborghini ferrari mclaren r8...you realise its fast but it doesnt provide that feeling. My friend with a svj said the nsx is too heavy and it feels as if the car is driving u not the other way around. Hope i answer your question.
@@ACURACALABAR11 not so sure about your friend.
@@RaitisRides lol i dont own em. Just relaying what they said to me. Said the nsx is not loud and is too heavy and feels like the car is driving you. But let me ask you suma Raiti..you drove Lamborghini Ferrari etc. Does the the nsx feel like them?
Yeah, can't understand why. LoL.
My favorite super car, yesssss!
Heck yeah!
Want! I appreciate your content, you really cover so much of what I am interested in, so genuinely, Thanks.
That was such a fun review! I'm very happy you had a chance to drive here! Good luck to anyone getting one of these limited cars! I bet all the dealers buy up ALL of them as display cars!
It's going to be tough!
@@RaitisRides I heard ALL the NSX inventory has already been spoken for, every last one of the 350 in th3 US, and Canada :(
Gotham Grey looks great but a $6,000 option and $13,000 to save 58 pounds. Not sure about that, but if your buying a new NSX type S then your not really worried about price cause your loaded in the first place
That is a very good way to look at it!
Compared to the competition you are actually getting more for that $13k option
@@-SP. C8Z or 992 Turbo S are better cars for that price range. This is a collectors car, that's it.
@@nickadkins7765 How is a $300K 992 Turbo S in the same range as a C8 Z06? (rolls eyes)
@@ELECTRICEYEMEDIA I never said it was. I said both are better options than this NSX as driver's cars. (Rolls eyes at your inability to comprehend)
U should do more track videos!
I am actually putting some more stuff together! Stay tuned!
Best video yet!!!…awesome!
Absolutely incredible joe, thank you for sharing the experience
You are so very welcome Will!
Absolute fire! Can't say I love the color but everything else is so so good!
Did you see the other colors I showed off!

Heck yeah!
Wow I used to go there as a kid and always wanted to drive on that track before as a NASCAR fan! Wow 🤩 so lucky Joe! Love it! Keep it up Joe and Lori! Fortunately the NSX has been the only super car I ever drove! Hope to be able to drive as many as cars as you someday!
Thanks for letting me share the experience with you
That dark red NSX really caught my attention 😩 love the colour
What a beauty!
Heck yeah!
Good luck buying any new enthusiast car spending MSRP.
That’s a great point!
I got the Gotham Grey, red seats and loaded too on ordered. luckily, I droved the 2020 at the dealer before I ordered the Type S, its slower than my Ferrari F8 but its still one of my high school Japanese dream car when i was senior in 1992. The F8 will have a little brother from a different daddy.
video made my day, the effort and enjoyment u put into ur vids are awesome, love ur vids joe💪🏽
The interior still looks like it came from a Civic R and at this price point that's inexcusable.
Yes please take your complaint to Elon. It's how I feel about all his Tesla models. They look like they were designed by preschoolers. I think the tablet needs to be a bit bigger and it should come with bright colored Crayons.
Such a cool experience. Great video!
Man, Joe that is so awesome! Beautiful car.
Like a kid in a candy store 😂. This was great, I can almost feel the rush just wish the yellow one wasn't in the front kinda slow but overall great review really enjoyed it.
You always do great reviews Joe 💯
Beautiful Beautiful ACURA NSX!!! Exactly the color I would love to paint my 5th Gen 4 Runner!!! Great video!!! 👍👍👍
Just picked up a 2022 NSX Type S.....An incredible car...and I have and have had everything
Congrats!
My dream car!
Amazing and thanks for the input. Love this car and to bad it is sold out. Now im waiting to get my Acura MDX Type S this June. Happy for the brand and returning to it after 10 years.
Thanks David for letting me share this amazing car with you!
I have an 18 RLX hybrid and 19 MDX Adv Hybrid. Excellent powertrain to provide more performance, handling, and acceleration; while, providing improved mpgs as a side product. Everyone complains about missing tech or design elements you can easily get on an Accord. The NSX isn't a daily driver or made for the hwy for a 12 hr road-trip. It is a track ready garage queen racecar with the flexibility of being able to drive on the open road. No one is buying a Porsche 911 GT3, M-B AMG GT3, Audi R8, or Nissan GT-R because of cooled seats, sound system w/ Carplay, dash design, or messaging seats. The NSX is all about an excellent balance of acceleration, performance, and handling for +150,000 miles reliable miles.
Excellent points!
Gotham Grey is absolutely stunning. The entire pallete is top tier overall.
That yellow color looks amazing!
You have the best job guys!!! Love love love this car and I will always regret not making enough fun money to own one!!!
