Acura NSX Horsepower & Torque (2002 - 2022): How Much Power Does A NSX Have?

The Acura NSX redefined the sports car market by blending supercar performance with everyday usability, challenging European icons like Ferrari.

Initially powered by a 3.0L naturally aspirated V6 producing 252 hp, the NSX evolved into a technological marvel, culminating in the 2022 Type S with a 3.5L twin-turbo V6 hybrid system delivering 600 hp and 492 lb-ft of torque.

Early models featured rear-wheel drive (RWD) with a 6-speed manual or 4-speed automatic, while later iterations introduced all-wheel drive (AWD) and a 9-speed dual-clutch automatic.

The NSX was also the first production car to feature an all-aluminum monocoque chassis, setting a new standard for lightweight design.
