2022 NSX Type S Registry
- Thread starter The Kid
- Start date
This feels like a flippers thread. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I was a little worried about that too. However, I think it's important to document the activity and the details of builds. Each listing helps to complete the Type S tracker. Imagine looking for a car years from now and you want to know its history, where it's been, what it was like new and its factory options.
The reason for the thread is undeniable and valuable. I wanted a Type S. But since I wasn't guaranteed to get one, I did not pay to play. I'm just venting. ( I feel better now. : ) )I was a little worried about that too. However, I think it's important to document the activity and the details of builds. Each listing helps to complete the Type S tracker.

The VIN ends 303 and plate says #348 .Well #348 went up for sale as well on Cars & Bids
2022 Acura NSX Type S - #348 of 350, Turbocharged Hybrid V6, AWD, Lightweight Package
This 2022 Acura NSX Type S is for sale on Cars & Bids! Auction ends March 3 2023.carsandbids.com
Had not gone unnoticed, thanks. 303 was previously noted on the tracker to be a US car but we still did not know its production number. At the time, I admittedly guessed the car number. With this concrete data point, I've been trying to figure out what's going on. We have previously found VINs ending in 301, 303 and 305. All of which are US LHD builds and unknown car #s. Then there's car number 350 which is a LHD US car. What's difficult now to guess is where do all the Japanese export cars map. I have visual proof on cars #323 to #330 (RHD, VINs and are Japan exports). Knowing this, Japan cars now appear to map from cars #306 to #330 but then they are missing 5 cars for the 30 allocated. Don't forget, Acura/Honda said of the 350, 5 were also allocated to corporate (or for corporate it was not clear). At first, I felt maybe not all the cars for Japan were ordered. But then I found the VINs for these cars to be valid (see post #318) and registered in Japan. This leaves the following cars that are unknown #302, #304, #346, #347, and #349. 5 of them are needed to fulfill the Japan allocation. We still don't know if Max Verstappen's car came out of the 30 headed to Japan. His car (as shown in video's) is a RHD car. The Type-S tracker will get an update soon to account for the past couple weeks of data points. But yeah...its a head scratcher.

according to the tracker, car #101 never left that dealership and it still only has 3 miles on it. Curious what is the selling price. good find. I had the MSRP at $187,995. Long Beach Blue Pearl, Red Leather interior, Lightweight package and Berlina Black Gloss wheels. I just don't know the caliper color. (my guess is Red because of the interior choice)
Car #131, 19UNC1B0XNY000131 showed up this morning for sale. It's located at Piazza Volkswagen of Ardmore. Side note, the car was originally sold at Piazza Acura of Ardmore. Now here's the twist. This car was ordered with Berlina Black paint but in the mere time it has traveled 22 miles, the owner wrapped it in "SATIN DARK GRAY WRAP". It was optioned with the lightweight package and black calipers. The NSX Type S tracker indicates it has ebony Alcantara interior and NO XM radio option. Price is not listed yet and the pictures on the site don't match the car for sale (they are of a GGM car with red calipers). If they are updated, I'll posted them here.
UPDATE: Pictures are posted. Two observations: one the caliper color has been changed to red; Two that wrap is pretty good. Note, the NSX lettering on the calipers are silver instead of black. I found only two seams in the lower right and left rear fenders behind the wheel wells. (I am pretty impressed). In addition, I went back and looked closer at the photos and just notice, this car does not have the XM radio option. Without further ado...
One more update: Turns out this transformation was done by Seven Wraps. They have a great set of photos of the finished (link here). In their words here's what they did, "Our good friends @piazzaautogroup and @piazzaacuraardmore sent us this brand new, 1 of 350 worldwide, @Acura NSX Type-S for a makeover. We did a full color change in @3mfilms Satin Dark Gray, custom painted red calipers and full @suntekfilms tint in 20% all around. Finished product is beautiful!." Here's one of the outstanding shots:
Seven Wraps has also recently posted a video showing what I believe is #131 in its original Berlina Black color and black capliers. Here's a still photo complied to capture the factory look.

I've been digging through some older social media content and found a couple of gems. Thanks goes to @The Kid and photographer @19nc1nsx on instagram, they found a very interesting car destined for Japan about 11 months ago or about March 2022. Here are the posted photos:
at first glance it appears to be a normal GGM RHD. However look closely at reflection on the windshield....
Now lets zoom in and reverse the picture.....
What the heck? Chassis number NC1-1500100? But by my estimation and the RHD exports found to date, the chassis numbers for the 2022 Type S should range from NC1-1500001 to NC1-1500030. Intriguing....I dug some more. One of the sites I use to figure out if a car has been imported had this to say:
Well, okay the dates seem to match up, February 2022. Hmmm, what about NC1-1500101? Let's check.
Whaaaat the heck?
Okay how about NC1-15000102?
Look at those dates? So I got thinking. Are these press cars? What about Max Verstappen's gift from Honda?
NC1-1500100 we already know the color, GGM, but so are all the press cars shown in reviews on youTube from Japan. Hmmmmm?
Okay, I kept poking around looking for other sites that possibly leaks more useful information. I found a new one that listed similar data above, but they also revealed the body "color code" (more on this later regarding the NSX tracker, stay tuned). Okay lets check out NC1-1500100:
Bam! There's the same production date and the color code, NH-919M for Gotham Gray Matte Metallic. Wooohooo!
Here's 101 and 102.
Again GGM color code!
Going beyond 102 showed no more valid chassis numbers. So, my guess at the moment is that these 3 cars are corporate cars. Maybe one of them is Max's and the others press cars?. Now it's possible one of the other JDM 2022 Type S' is Max's car. It's more probable his car is specially mark/designated for the accomplishment. Looking at the production dates my guesstimate is that car NC1-1500101 is his because of the August 2022 production date and the trailing "1" in 101. Assuming a month or two to travel overseas, it could have arrived a 30 days prior to the November 27th, 2022 event where he received it. A lot of conjecture but fun to investigate. Before you asked, I let you in on coming announcement; I believe I have found all 350 car's external colors and car #s! They do not include these 3 cars nor other out-of-range VINs that have been found. Time will tell but for now it's looking pretty good.

seems to be more and more flippers coming out.. sad to see.. wish I could have gotten the matching casino white pearl to my nc1 but that dream has come and gone..I do notice prices on the type s have moderated some ( still too high) but nice to see the first gen still staying strong in resale pricing market.. nc1 also have come down but seems to be hovering after a recent decline.. to those that have secured types congrats.. I willl keep looking for mine and the hopefully the price will be fair for all..
@docnsx, this frustrates many owners, enthusiasts and prospective buyers. I hope this thread helps out those that not only owns a Type S but future buyers today and years down the road wanting to see or understand a car's history. The postings help to fill out the registry more than anything else. It also gives folks a picture of the secondary market. It was crazy to see the +$300K and even the $400K listings at the beginning. Even though the configuration options were limited, it was great to see the wide variety of choices made. I hope too that you'll be able to add to your ownership.

I hope so I think it will complete the trifecta .. 93gpw 40k on clock , 17 casino 202k build with 7k on clock .. type s casino or white when ....... I just wish more type s went to people like us in this forum ! To those who have one congrats and use in great health!
As mentioned in my early post, I continue to search out the complete list of the 350 Acura NSX Type S'. During this investigation, I continue to scratch my head trying to figure out the outliers. The biggest mystery is the so called corporate or rest of word allocations. As a reminder, here's what we learned from the press releases:
It is this last point which seeks more scrutiny. The rest of world really is 15 to Canada, leaving 5 for ROW. Its these 5 units that are difficult to track. The mapping of the production unit numbers to VIN has been challenging. It's clear from what we've seen that there's no guarantee that the last digits of the VIN would match the production number badge on the engine cover of the car. But here's how the mapping has progressed so far based on confirmed photos, videos and sale listings:
Here's what we know about the last 5 units:
The last production build is car #350. The VIN is unknown at this time (but we have a guess)
VIN 19UNC1B09NY000301 is a US LHD car sold by Coggin Acura. The VIN is unknown at this time.
VIN 19UNC1B02NY000303 is currently up for sale and has a confirmed production number of #348 of 350.
VIN 19UNC1B04NY000304 was sold by Lindsay Acura and confirmed by @alum04org to be production #349 of 350.
VIN 19UNC1B08NY011001 was sold by Autonation Acura South Bay. The VIN is unknown at this time.
Now its time to make some best guesses on the remaining unknown production numbers #346, #347 and #350. I believe without a doubt that #350 should map to proposed VIN 19UNC1B06NY000305. Again, I am guessing here but I think that the VINs are typically sequential with no gaps. This would eliminate #350's VIN to be 19UNC1B00NY000350. Its possible but I believe unlikely. That leaves the last two, #346 and #347. The trend with what we know is VIN 19UNC1B09NY000301 should most likely be production number 346. It makes sense given we've confirmed VIN xxx303 is #348 and xxx304 is #349. Now the obvious elephant in the room. What about VIN 19UNC1B00NY000302? It should be #347 but I cannot find the use of 19UNC1B00NY000302 anywhere. If it does show up, it should be #347. But then that means VIN 19UNC1B08NY011001 doesn't fit in the 350 units. If it does than it has to be production unit #347. The NSX Type S tracker will be updated next with these assumptions. As the data is confirmed, the tracker will be corrected. Until then, you can now see how the mapping has been guesstimated. Any additional input is appreciated. Feel free to comment on any these data points to help reveal the production numbers. Thanks.
"Limited to 350 units globally"
"300 units destined for U.S. customers"
"New Gotham Gray matte metallic paint limited to just 70 of the 350 production total globally"
"Only 15 examples of the 2022 Acura NSX Type S have been earmarked for the Canadian market"
"A mere 30 of these units will be dedicated to the Japanese market"
"with another 20 divvied up to the rest of the world"

Car #283, 19UNC1B00NY000283 was recently sold at a dealer auction 6 days ago. Location was Georgia. Not much is known about the price or condition.
Update: finally found more pictures...not the best quality but it gives a full picture of the car's options. Photo credit goes to PLC group. Hard to see but this car has the carbon fiber interior option but with iron rotors. Of course, Valencia Red Pearl exterior with Orchid leather/alcantara seats with Berlina Black Gloss wheels.

(Speculation to follow) Me thinks the folks in Japan got wind of the supplier issues and wanted to avoid the Frankenstein builds that happened after running out of stull like the CF binnacles and CF roofs without the roof tumors (XM), and got their cars built while all the right parts for the factory installed features selected for their builds were available.
I started tracking the CF binnacles a couple weeks ago. Data is very incomplete and may never be fully understood. But what I've seen so far is that they ran out pretty early in the production run. Like sub first 50 units.
haha, the seller didn't say they were installed, explicitly. Nice observation. But here's the "custom cover":
thanks for adding to the speculation bucket. Some more facts. The last 6 units to be built was filmed and posted on YouTube back on August 9th 2022. Those exact units arrived in Japan and registered in October 2022. The first 2 press cars arrived in Japan in February and May 2022, respectively. The first customer cars arrived in August 2022. Assuming 2 months in transport time means the initial cars were built June-ish 2022. I would agree that they may/should have reserved non-XM CF roofs for these cars. They may in fact have done the same for the CF binnacles. I quickly checked out the videos to see. And yes, they have the CF version.
transporter is in the car driving to the truck. It clear there is no thread/seems and its shiny.
You can see on this short the RHD and the binnacle has a shiny edge towards the front of the car.
Customer car (guessing its car #321) in Casino White Pearl shows a binnacle with a shiny surface (I have to guess its CF).
Customer car (its a 130R White). You can see the difference between the alcantara dash and the CF binnacle.
I just now zoomed in and found a cross-hatch pattern.

I agree and consider myself very, very lucky to have been able to obtain one. I do wish more real enthusiasts and true NSX lovers were able to experience the original ownership process, like doing the PMC experience and ordering the car as they wanted. Although I understand the laws of economics and can't blame people for wanting to profit and capitalize.
@docnsx and The Kid -
Agree.
Wacky way to place/accept orders for this Type-S.
Yep, too many dicks and not enough Richards.
