{ "image": "", "generalInfo": "The Acura NSX (second generation) is a mid‑engine hybrid supercar from Acura/Honda that reinterprets the original 1990s NSX for the modern era. The second‑generation car pairs a mid‑mounted, twin‑turbo 3.5‑liter V6 with a multi‑motor hybrid system (an electric motor integrated with the gearbox plus two motors at the front axle) to deliver instantaneous torque, electronic torque vectoring and an all‑wheel drive layout. It was designed to combine supercar performance with more usable daily manners and the engineering attention to detail associated with Honda/Acura.\n\nAcross its run the second‑generation NSX received incremental mechanical and aerodynamic updates and was offered with a relatively compact cargo area and a two‑seat cockpit. The model culminated in the limited‑production Type S for the 2022 model year, a final‑edition that increased turbo boost and recalibrated the hybrid controls to raise combined output to 600 hp; that Type S also added distinct carbon‑fiber aero details and chassis/boost revisions. Fuel economy for the Type S is modest for a supercar (EPA‑rated in the low‑20s mpg), and new‑car pricing remained in the six‑figure range, with the 2022 Type S priced at about $171,495 in the U.S.", "priceRange": "$171,495 (USD)", "towingCapacity": "Not rated", "recallHistory": "2 recalls (2020, 2023)", "gallery": { "exterior": [], "interior": [] }, "years": { "2016": { "trims": [ { "name": "NSX", "description": "The NSX trim is the standard launch-era offering: a two-seat, mid‑engine hybrid coupe that combines a twin‑turbo 3.5L V6 with three electric motors (a rear Direct Drive motor plus a front Twin Motor Unit) and a 9‑speed dual‑clutch.
