Overview
2022 Acura NSX Type S appears on the official Forza Horizon 6 car list as a S1 Class (supercar tier) entry in the base roster. This page covers how it tends to drive in its class, where it fits inside the Japan setting, how to think about a starting tune, and which roster entries it naturally compares against.
Background and Forza Horizon 6 context
The 2022 NSX Type S closed out the second-generation NSX line with 600hp combined output from the 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 and three-motor Sport Hybrid SH-AWD system. Production was limited to 350 units globally with the final 30 built as Long Beach Blue Pearl 'Heritage' cars. The Type S also marked the end of vehicle assembly at the Performance Manufacturing Center in Marysville, Ohio. On the official Forza Horizon 6 car list this 2022 Acura entry sits in the S1 Class (supercar tier) bracket inside the base roster, which is the placement players come to this page expecting to confirm against the public source. Inside the same S1 Class (supercar tier) bracket, the closest comparison roster entries for players are 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm and 2019 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera, which is the S1 Class (supercar tier) peer group this car is usually weighed against. The JDM tag fits the wider Japanese setting of Forza Horizon 6, where this make tends to be a focal point of cruise lobbies and theme nights.
Driving feel in Forza Horizon 6
Sport Hybrid SH-AWD shuffles torque between front motors and the rear twin-turbo V6 with no perceptible delay, so the Type S launches and rotates harder than most S1 rivals. It hides its 1,800kg kerb weight well, but loses to lighter mid-engine peers under sustained braking. Best in fast point-to-points where Quiet/Sport+ modes can be used between sections.
Where it shines
S1 class fits faster road events, longer point-to-points and online cruise lobbies focused on supercar showcases.
Tuning starting point
Tunes here often balance launch grip vs top-end. If you mostly run open road events, prefer a tune with steadier mid-throttle response over absolute V-max.
How to get 2022 Acura NSX Type S
This car is listed without an add-on label on the official Forza Horizon 6 source, so we treat it as part of the base roster. Forza Horizon 6 launches on May 19, 2026, and before that date the public Autoshow may not surface every base-roster car yet — players asking 'how do I get this car, it is not in the Autoshow?' on Reddit or the Forza forums usually find the answer is 'wait for launch day or a post-launch update'. After launch, base-roster cars are normally available through credits in the Autoshow, Wheelspins, Festival Playlist rewards, or the in-game showcase that introduces new vehicles.
