I think car can do better than 2.9 and 11 flat. These are the numbers that standard NSX did. My guess for the Type S is 2.7 and 10.8 sec.

NSX Type S competition



FastestLaps 3d ago
I am not sure if straight line performance was the focus of Type S evolution. It was probably more about handling performance, driver feedback, integration of this complex drivetrain etc.


Wiped 1w ago
Why the weight is wrong? It's 1770 kg (with lightweight package and 1796 kg w/o). Hope someone would change it.


FastestLaps 1w ago
If I started from scratch, I would make it conventional engine car, same type of engine (V6TT), but much lighter. I am not sure if I would make it rear wheel drive or 4 wheel drive with torque vectoring (basically Nissan GT-R 2.0).
Since they already invested so much in hybrid powertrain and 4 wheel drive, they need to continue in this direction and it has potential to be better than rear wheel drive or even 4wd conventional V6TT car would ever be. It's already good and much improved in Type S version over the launch NSX.

Then the highest trim would be the Type R. With recalibration on every part of the car for better handling. And it would need to weigh under 3,200 pounds and make 690 horsepower and 600+ pound feet of torque. Then the aero which is adjustable and cane make from 450 to 800 pounds of downforce.

Bugatti4Life 1w ago
The Type S variant would be lighter and more powerful as well as tighter and more nimble. The power output would need to be 618 to 640 horsepower and 578 torques. The weight would go down as well with a goal weight of 3,270 pounds. The suspension would be roughly 18% stiffer and more aero with roughly 600 pounds of combined downforce.

Bugatti4Life 1w ago
Also it would look more like the NSX instead of this so I'd have it take inspiration from the original. And just for people who love driving I'd put in a 6 speed manual option and make the 9 speed a 7 or 8 speed.

Bugatti4Life 1w ago
If I was in charge of what they did with the NSX I would have them do a high revving twin turbo V8. Which would need to sound naturally aspirated and rev to 8500 rpm. The power requirement would be 590 horsepower and 532 pound feet of torque. And I'd also make it keep its heritage by making it simple yet live able and key word which is lightness. Goal weigh would be 3,340 pounds and it would be rear wheel drive.

Bugatti4Life 1w ago
I wish they also did a Type R version because I really wanted to see what a 650 horsepower 500+ torque track focused NSX could do.

Seeing that the NSX Type S is a supercar built in Ohio, it's a beautiful Japanese-American supercar. But it's made in a non-union plant, which is why the NSX is so expensive, yet slower than a Corvette Z06, and it's surprisingly slower than the 911 GT3 as well only because Porsche underestimates power ratings in each segment for marketing and emission reasons.
Dividing by 1.5 and 2.0 gives UAW-equivalent MSRPs of $113,000 and $84,750. It's a special edition, so I am believing the former would apply if it was made in a union plant. The Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing isn't even a supercar and it's faster AND equipped with more luxurious features than the Acura NSX Type S (at least past 60 mph), not to mention better on the track, too!
NSX Type S can't rival GT-R Track Edition, let alone NISMO
...And as far as price goes, both the Corvette Stingray 3LZ and the Corvette Z06 are in the same ballpark as the CT5-V Blackwing...

Who says it's "slower?" the Porsche got exactly the same 1/4 mile time and speeds? That's IF the above figures are correct? It's lunchtime here and there's no time to find any links (that everyone else provides anyway?) but the Porsche is ahead a mere 0.5 seconds at 150MPH? That's inconsequential. ;)

R18Robbin 3w ago @TypeF173
The times are correct and it's from the latest issue of Car and Driver.
The Type S is just a limited edition for collectors, it is not that great, considering it costs over 190,000 USD and has AWD + Hybrid and can hardly hang with a base C8 Corvette Stingray and Cayman that goes fast around corners.

Bugatti4Life 3w ago @Corvolet3
Oh really now??? Did you ever look up Lexus LFA where is that car from oh its Japan!!! Don't say something like this before thinking, the NSX-R would have had more power if it weren't for the rules of the max power allowed which was only 276 horsepower. I know it actually had about 290 but I bet if Acura/Honda didn't have to worry about that rule then it would have a power output of about 350 horsepower.


hostboy 3w ago @Shwingbob
Technically, the LFA is a grand tourer. It's slower than the SLS AMG, the C6 Corvette ZR1, and the ZB2 Viper as well, and barely above V12 Vantage, CTS-V Coupe, F13 M6 territory.
Real supercars from that time were the 458, 599, Gallardo, Aventador, 997 911 Turbo S (and its RWD GT2 RS variant), SLR McLaren, MP4-12C, Noble M600...

hostboy 3w ago @Shwingbob
Jesus Christ dude you are so hella retarded, if a $500k car loses to supercars AND GRAND TOURERS half or a quarter of its price then it's either a Rolls-Royce or a plastic pos Lecksucks.
ZR1, M6 and Vantage >> tinyman Japanese cars, including LFA and GT-R
The Japanese have a good economy, but not good cars. Their age of consent laws are among THE lowest of ANY developed country, too. Nissan's now ex-CEO is a complete CROOK and we ALL know Nissan's CVT crap cars are EXPENSIVE to repair overtime, even if they are cheap (@MSRP) at first.
The ONLY good thing about US-market Honda and Toyota sedans is their superior quality. In some cases, they are better than entry-level American and German sedans, but they're still overhyped and loved too much by shit social media influencers and models.




hostboy 3w ago @Shwingbob
Japan is semi-literally the Asian equivalent to Las Vegas. Full of crooks, drug and gambling addicts, crazy retarded "models", overhyped by wannabe elites, full of bullies as politicians/educators/CEOs, etc etc. Japan doesn't want American trucks or SUVs into their land, but they make their own trucks and SUVs around the same size. HYPOCRITE JAPAN.




FastestLaps 3w ago
I have promised myself to never ever watch a video with a person standing next to a car with arms stretched out to the sides.


hostboy 3w ago @Corvolet3
The LFA is much more of a supercar than the NSX and GT-R, and it still isn't one. The Japanese made great econobox muscle cars back in the '80s, 90s and aughties, until they were abused by rice boys and their companies were taken over by filthy politicians and CEOs who mated with the British to create degenerate platforms like OnlyFans for American weeaboos to simp to their human equivalent to exploited ricemobiles...
America has hot rods and rat rods. Australia has hoonmobiles. Britain has gentleman-like GTs. What good does Japan have, really?
The 5.0/5.7 Toyota and 5.6 Nissan motors are 2-3x as expensive to modify as the Ford 5.0 Coyote, which can easily make up to 1000hp with just $14,000 in mods.

hostboy 3w ago @Corvolet3
High price tag =/= supercar. I don't count Corvette Z, Viper, Vantage or California as supercars either, but they still walk all over LFA on a strip and in a rolling start. 458 and Gallardo will absolutely KO the LFA
The GT-R and NSX would LOSE to a Corvette GS of the C7 generation, let alone Z06, ZR1 and C8 models if they had RWD. C7 GS and 991.2 Carrera 2S both do 11.9sec quartermile times, GT-R NISMO and NSX Type S would do 12.0 at best without the advanced 4WD systems (or if switched to 2WD mode, assuming that mode exists in either of those cars).



Corvolet3 3w ago @hostboy
"There were no series production supercars" Uhh yea sure buddy, if you forget about pretty much every 2 seater Lambo ever, the Lotus Esprit, the Ferrari F355 to F430, the 911 GT2 (996) and plenty more.
In what way is the SLS AMG not a supercar? It's fast, luxurious, stylish and can hang with supercars most of the time unless it's getting really twisty.
I would consider taking your meds.

hostboy 3w ago @Corvolet3
Koenigseggs and Ultimas aren't luxurious, but they're still supercars.
The first "supercar" (not a racing homologation) was the Lamborghini Miura, the first REAL supercar was the Porsche 959 (followed by the Ruf CTR and Ferrari F40), the first hypercar was the Jaguar XJ220 (followed by fellow Brit McLaren F1 and their Italian rival Bugatti EB110), the supercar primetime was around the era of Ferrari Enzo/Porsche Carrera GT/Mercedes SLR McLaren, the first series production supercars didn't come out until 7-8 years later (458/certain versions of 997/MP4-12C), the hypercar primetime was the LaFerrari/918 Spyder/P1, the first series production hypercars didn't come out until 6+ years later (SF90 Stradale, Valhalla... the 765LT is debatable)...
To summarize, supercars were the hypercars of old money, and specialty sports cars were the supercars of that same finance. Neither the "supercar" nor "hypercar" labels initially came into mainstream fashion; the 458 supercar evolved from the F430 sports car, the MP4-12C supercar is kind of a spiritual successor to the V8 Esprit sports car, which, by the way WAS SPANKED by likes of the NSX, Supra Turbo, big dog Nissans (the 300ZX Turbo and Skyline GT-R), and Impreza 22B STI.

Corvolet3 3w ago @hostboy
I think from all the nonsense you have posted here so far, this is probably one of the better posts but still nowhere close to the truth. You literally call the M850i and the SL43 "sports cars" despite weighing over 1800kg but at the same time you think the term supercar is thrown around too frequently.
Ah yes, because there's rare supercars and more common cars of the same maker with sporty attributes, that means cars like the first Gallardo are invalid to the title of supercar? The Ferrari 360 CS? The 430 Scuderia despite beating the Enzo's times? Honestly, I'm wondering how you're making up all this nonsense that has literally no source whatsoever except TrustMeBro.

hostboy 3w ago @Corvolet3
Sports car has nothing to do with weight so your outcome is BS. Steel cars are much more likely to be heavier than aluminum and carbon fiber. The Ferrari F12 and Bugatti Veyron both weigh 1800kg+
Supercars and hypercars are not just about track times, because if that was the case then the ZL1 1LE Camaro and Shelby GT500 CFTP Mustang are supercars comparable to an F8 Tributo and 765LT.
Supercar is a combination of Ariel Atom/Caterham Seven/Polaris Slingshot mentality of dominating the track + Mustang/Camaro/Corvette/Challenger/Viper mentality of dominating the strip + exclusive or semi-exclusive fun + much less comfortable interior design.
They don't necessarily NEED to be "luxurious". It's not like the track special V8 Ferraris, the LT line of McLarens, or the GT line of 718s and 911s are particularly of that sort either...


hostboy 3w ago @Shwingbob
Ferrari wasn't truly into the fighting game until the 458 Italia. The 360 Modena and F430 were fast in a straight line, but not as good on the track when compared to the Series 1 Gallardo. The Series 2 Gallardo came out with the sole purpose of defeating the F430; the Superleggera variant was a bit faster than the Scuderia equivalent but not by much that even Viper ACR and Corvette Z06/ZR1 dominated those two on the track.
Now the 458 Italia is a true series production supercar, and Lamborghini was about 5 years late to the game. They finally released the Huracán LP580-2 and LP610-4, which were faster than the 458 Italia but only barely. It took Ferrari a year later than Lamborghini to release the LP610's market competitor, the 488 GTB.
However, GM wanted to keep up so badly with the supercar segment that they decided to come up with reworked chassis for the Z07 and Centennial versions of their Corvettes, and they still weren't faster in a straight line.
The Challenge Stradale and the Scuderia were track specials, so I'm not really counting those as separate supercar models, as they were the precursors to the Speciale, albeit a supercar since it was obviously based on the 458 Italia.
The 458 is, indeed, a supercar, but it officially replaced the sports car in its own lineup. The SF90 Stradale "hypercar" (same chassis, same production line, same powertrain+a hybrid) replaced the 488 Pista "supercar" because there will be no track variant of F8 anytime soon; it's really like 765LT versus 720S Track Pack or 675LT.
Everyone seems to think the 458 was the 430's successor, but in reality the 430 had no true successors since the California/T, Portofino/M, and Roma all are front-engined (to be fair, the C8 Corvette isn't the C7 Corvette's true successor either).

MoPar>Ford=GM>Korean autos>the rest. ESPECIALLY ANYTHING THAT RENAULT TOUCHES — including Nissan and Mitsubishi.
I tied Ford with GM on a technical scale, but it really is a bit higher in the league because its EcoBoost and Coyote motors are super-easy to modify despite their small displacement engines, equally comparable to the also iconic LS and LT motors. Also, foreign automakers and international designers tend to look after the Mustang and F-Series, not the Camaro and Silverado.

A 6.0L engine from America costs equally as much to fix, repair, modify as a 2.0-3.0L engine (varying on brand, with Nissan being the worst) from Japan.
A 5.0L Detroit-brand engine from America makes twice the same power as a 5.0L Toyota engine (a Nissan one will be even WORSE) assuming that BOTH are maxed out with forced induction, and it costs $25,000 to max out an American (Detroit brand) 5.0 versus $50,000 to max out a Japanese (or Japanese-affiliated) engine of the SAME displacement.
As a rule of thumb, $10,000 per liter to max out an engine from a Japanese brand (times 1.5 to 3.0 if it's a Nissan or Mitsubishi engine), $5,000 per liter to do the same from an American brand, both WITH forced induction AND intercooling. Half of that without any boosters...
EDIT #1:
Pentastar and Hemi bore spacing = 113.28 mm (V6 and V8)
VK bore spacing = 112 mm (V8)
VQ and VR bore spacing = 108 mm (V6)
JNC1 bore spacing = 98 mm (V6)
The Pentastar, though a slightly different design, uses the same bore spacing as the Hemi. It carries much of the same technology and structure from the Hemi.
Retaining the SAME stroke, the Pentastar engine as used in the V6 Challenger can be bored out to a whopping 5.0L! The VR engine as used in the GT-R can be bored out to 4.9L. And that's pony car vs. "supercar" both with six cylinders!
Because the engine bay is much larger in the Challenger, it will allow for twice the boost as the GT-R when equipped with turbochargers.
Phony Poser NSX is much worse, as it can ONLY be bored out to 4.1L!

EDIT #2:
Literally THE ONLY non-Detroit car corporations that naturally, profoundly, AND proudly support the UAW 100% are Hyundai Motor Group and Volvo Car Group. PERIOD!!!
Rimac Nevera >> fake ass Aspark Owl in ALL areas of performance+quality+durability!!!
Polestar 1 makes NSX look like a dog to the Polestar's human. Real carbon fiber design, none of that fake aluminum crap!!! Aluminum, plastic, steel all may look "good" on a family car, a muscle car or even a grand tourer or pickup truck, but DEFINITELY NOT on a supercar. NSX IS A NO-NO IN THE SUPERCAR COMMUNITY!
On a completely unrelated subject, here's Snoop Dogg and his son Doge...

196ss 3w ago @Corvolet3
Here, of course, it depends on what you mean by supercar.
For example, if Ferrari Testarossa is a supercar and C4 ZR1 Corvette keeps up in a straight line and on the track, even though it's much cheaper, is it a supercar? In my mind, yes.
Accordingly, in the early 90s the GT-R R32, RX7 and Supra could well have put in a shame 911 turbo, 512TR and even Diablo. The 300ZX and 3000GT were also close to that level and could well beat a base Corvette and 911 Carrera.
That's even if you don't mention the NSX.
However, this didn't gain any continuation. By the end of the 90s the same RX7, Supra and NSX were already having problems competing with the base Carrera and were far behind from the 911 GT3, Turbo and Ferrari Modena.
It was the same story with the GT-R R35. When it came out it just smashed all the Porsches, Ferraris, Lambos etc, while still being a four-seater all-weather car. In fact, it's the R35 that we should be grateful for the 458 Italia, C6 ZR1 and the PDK. It's the one that pushed supercar manufacturers to move much more aggressively forward in terms of performance (only Aston Martin wasn't affected😀). However, the GT-R itself has changed very little after 15 years and is now in many ways inferior to its competitors.
Next up is the new NSX. When it came out in 2016, it was a great every day supercar. And in its niche against the 911 Turbo and R8, it looked quite competitive. However, again as time has passed, the rivals have moved on, and Honda has basically offered nothing new. The big expectations were for the Type S, but in the end it's essentially the same car for more money.
The LFA is a separate story altogether. It doesn't fit in any frame of reference. In some aspects it was great and in other aspects it was just awful. That's why it has so many fans and haters alike.
Sorry for the over-expanded response, I just wanted to put all things at their places.

Corvolet3 3w ago @196ss
Well to be fair I always thought the ZR1 variants of the Corvette have been supercars. The C4 sure didn't have the interior quality of one but definitely the engineering and sheer power output to keep up with one.
As for Japanese cars, I'm just not really sure how to categorize them. They certainly beat the 911 of the early 90s but except for the GTR Nismo variants and the NSX I can't really put them in the supercar league. I'll continue this conversation later

Really interested to see how this compares to the lackluster base model. Remember, it was the Type-R that really made the Mk I legacy. Although, I have to admit, the base Mk I car, save for some quirks like overly long gearing etc, was already special.
