A bold new addition to a legacy of performance
The momentum of our future comes from the speed of our past. Now, fueled by the heritage of legends like
the TL and RSX Type S models comes a new arrival to the Type S line up. The MDX makes history as the first
Acura SUV with a Type S performance variant. Commanding a bold, yet refined presence, the
MDX Type S will forever alter the accepted idea of what an SUV can do.
High performance. High adrenaline.
The MDX Type S, an SUV like no other, is here.
Unlike anything we’ve built before, the MDX Type S lets you experience a new kind of exhilaration. Get behind the wheel and feel your heart race in this driver-focused masterpiece.
Aerodynamic Flow
Representing the pinnacle of Type S performance, the new NSX Type S is the highest-performing production NSX we’ve ever built. With the latest technology and aerodynamic design inspired by our winning motorsports experience, the NSX Type S brings a new level of power and precision to the pavement.
Limited Production
The most visceral and engaging NSX ever created will have a limited production run of only 350 units available worldwide. The NSX Type S combines 600 hp* with race-spec turbos for more power, more sound and more emotion, holding true to the origins of the NSX name – a New Sports eXperience like no other.
POWER AND PRECISION IN BALANCE
The Type S is the most powerful and capable it’s ever been. A 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 that pumps out a potent 355-hp* through the exclusive quad-round exhaust outlets for a new league of performance. 354 lb-ft* of torque transfers to the pavement by the rear-biased Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ * (SH-AWD®). A sport-tuned Adaptive Damper System and high-performance chassis bracing means all that power can be driven with radical precision.
MASTER THE APEX
The Type S is born to amp your adrenaline levels. Large Brembo® front brake calipers paired with upsized rotors help you shed speed. NSX-inspired lightweight Y-spoke wheels wrapped in high-performance Pirelli summer tires reduce unsprung weight at all four corners, for a drive that feels precision-crafted down to the ounce.

Sharp, sculpted, and chiseled, the Type S is designed to redirect airflow for maximum stability while looking the part of a high-performance sedan. A front splitter and trunk spoiler create real downforce for more grip. The larger front intake grille feeds air into the powerful turbo V6. The rear diffuser smooths airflow from beneath the car to reduce lift.
