Won't finish; all with the NSX Type S unveiled at Monterey Car Week, a limited edition of 350 units worldwide, 300 of which are destined for the American market. No, the Type S will not pass; to history as the swan song of the glorious Honda NSX. And these are not indiscretions, dubious by nature, almost waste paper in the absence of confirmation.

Ad to formalize that a third generation is; in the programs of the Tokyo producer & egrave; was the vice president of Acura Jon Ikeda, that is the brand with which Honda has been proposing itself for years in North America and with which the NSX & egrave; has always been marketed.

NEXT ELECTRIC NSX?

The uncertainty about the end of a model that has ended up identifying Honda for large sections has been cleared up, so much so it had become iconic, it seems that the next Honda NSX can be totally electric . You can guess it from Ikeda's words:

We make an NSX when we want to communicate something. The first generation was petrol, the second hybrid: there will be some; another.

A statement that if it were an exercise in logic (and it looks like it) it would come from completing the sequence with & quot; … and the third would be & agrave; electric & quot ;.

Sensation shared by the journalists who had the opportunity to speak with Ikeda, to whom & egrave; was asked if, in fact, there are any possibilities; to see a third generation electric NSX. Acura's vice president refused to express himself, leaving colleagues with a smile which, in reality, could mean a lot.

IKEDA: 'MONEY IS NOT EVERYTHING' The Acura NSX Type S

The current NSX, which with the limited edition Type S starts to stop production in 2022, < strong>did not represent a good deal for Honda . The development of the hybrid powertrain required large investments which were not then adequately rewarded by the market, also due to asphyxiated sales in rich markets such as North America (128 NSX sold in 2020) on which Honda/Acura hoped to take root in greater extent.

Ikeda naturally & egrave; conscious, and stimulated on the matter, he said:

Money is not everything : we did not enter this segment with the prospect of making a lot of money. Rather, we learned a lot about car electrification and driving pleasure, which remains one of our strong points. We didn't want the NSX to go out like this.

So it will come back, probably more; silent than ever .
