Used 2021 Acura NSX Coupe Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2021 Acura NSX is available only as a two-seat mid-engine coupe in a single performance specification. Power comes from a combination of a turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engine and three electric motors. All told, the combo produces 573 horsepower and 476 lb-ft of torque. The V6 powers the rear wheels alone, and each front wheel has its own electric motor. A third electric motor pairs with the V6 engine — similar to a traditional hybrid — adding torque at low speeds and enabling smooth engine starts. A nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive are standard.

Which NSX trim does Edmunds recommend?

The NSX is only available in one trim level, so your decision will come down to which options to specify. If you plan to track your NSX, the heat-resistant carbon-ceramic brakes are a must, and the manual sport seats should save some weight. But many of the NSX's upgrades are cosmetic in nature, so choose the ones that fit your vision for the car.
