The First 2022 Acura NSX Type S Just Sold For $1.1 Million

A car collector just paid $1.1 Million at auction to own the first 2022 Acura NSX Type S, just days after the limited edition car was launched.

Proceeds of the charity auction will go to several good causes, including youth education program called STEAM.

Four days ago, Honda’s luxury vehicle division, Acura, launched the Acura NSX Type-S supercar, a limited edition model that is restricted to just 350 examples.

Now, the first 2022 Acura NSX Type S hybrid supercar has just been auctioned off at this year’s Mecum Auction at Monterey Car Week in California.

The buyer Rick Hendrick, owner of Hendrick Motorsports and founder of the Hendrick Automotive Group, paid the cool sum of $1.1 million to own the car VIN No. 001.

Rick Hendrick is the same guy who paid fortunes to own several other special cars like the first-ever C8 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Camaro ZL1 1LE, and even the 2017 NSX VIN #001.

The price paid to own this special limited edition is roughly six (6) times more than the base price of $182,500 for the 2022 Acura NSX Type S with Lightweight Package.

All proceeds of the charity auction will go to several good causes, including youth education program called STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math).

Acura’s Vice President, Jon Ikeda, said :

“Acura is proud to help inspire America’s next-generation of designers, engineers and manufacturers through the expansion of STEAM education in underserved communities,”

“We hope to help these young students discover the possibilities of their own futures, especially children who have not had sufficient access to these types of programs due to COVID and other socio-economic factors.”
