If a 650HP $200,000 Acura interests you or your pocketbook, then Acura has just announced that you are in luck! Long rumored, apparently the Acura R type is going to become a reality for Acura fans.
Acura’s high performance car, the current-gen NSX, was teased to Acura fans for a prolonged period of time before it officially appeared in public. Despite a plethora of spy photos and Acura teasers the car was Japan’s worst-kept secret in the auto industry.
Despite the slow burn foreplay that accompanied the 2019 NSX, it seems as if Acura is much quicker in bringing information regarding the Type R NSX to performance car enthusiasts. According to reports first reported from Forbes, Acura will be tuning the mid-engine up to an impressive 650 horsepower, 77 more than the NSX. It’s likely that weight will be reduced from the current trim models as well to increase performance.
