While we don’t have many performance details yet, Acura says the NSX’s twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 and its hybrid and all-wheel-drive systems have been upgraded to have more power and quicker acceleration. Acura also promises the NSX Type S will have improved handling and a “more emotional” driving experience. The regular NSX makes 573 horsepower and 476 pound-feet of torque, so the Type S should produce upwards of 600 hp and 500 lb.-ft.

Only 350 units of the Type S will be produced globally, with 300 of those coming to the US. This is the first time that an NSX Type S has been sold in America, with Type S versions of the previous generation being limited to Japan only. As it stands the second-gen NSX is already a rare bird, with around 2,500 sold globally since its launch in 2016, over 1,500 of which came to the US. We’ll get full details, specs and pricing on the new NSX Type S when it’s revealed on Aug. 12.
