2022 Acura NSX Type S Teased, Will Be A Last Hurrah For The Electrified Supercar

Shortly after we carried spy photos of an NSX undergoing testing, the long-awaited NSX Type S has been announced. Sadly, rather than it being a sign that Honda and Acura were keeping faith in their second-generation supercar, the NSX Type S will instead be a runout swansong.

American luxury goods retailer, Shinola, has teamed up with Lincoln to produce a unique take on the Aviator.

1200 HP Lamborghini Huracan Vs. 1300 HP Nissan GT-R Nismo Vs. Red Bull F1 Car Is A Race For The Ages

The last time a Red Bull Formula One time featured in a Carwow drag race, the results were close. But, perhaps as you’d expect, the track-honed championship-winning car won out. This time around things are a little different, as the Red Bull RB7 F1 car may just have met its match up against a 1,200 hp (1,217 PS / 895 kW) twin-turbo Lambo, and a 1,300 hp (1,318 PS / 969 kW) modified GT-R.
