History of Acura Performance: NSX to Type S
The journey of Acura performance began with the introduction of the first-generation NSX in 1989. Known for its all-aluminum body, the NSX quickly became a benchmark for supercars, offering groundbreaking comfort and power for an unparalleled driving experience.
After the discontinuation of the most recent generation of NSX, Acura shifted its focus to the development of Type S models. These high-performance vehicles -- inspired by legendary past Acura models like the TL and RSX Type S --embody the brand's philosophy of Precision Crafted Performance™. Today, the future of Acura performance is embodied in the new Type S lineup, including innovations like the all-electric ZDX in the RGV.
