Acura NSX Officially Launches In China

After hitting a selection of markets around the world including the United States, Europe and Australia, the #Acura NSX has officially launched in China.

As with most other vehicles in China, the NSX costs significantly more there than in the United States. As a matter of fact, the only trim level available will set back locals 2.89 million yuan, the equivalent of $420,000, reports Car News China. That puts it in a different league to the $156,000 starting price in the United States.

For just under half a million dollars, customers of the NSX receive an American-built supercar loaded with tech. Most importantly, that includes a twin-turbocharged V6 engine mated to three electric motors and making for a total of 573 hp and 506 lb-ft of torque. Thanks to the supercar's 9-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and launch control system, it can rocket from a rest to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3 seconds before topping out at 308 km/h (191 mph).

Although the NSX certainly isn't cheap in China, its $420,000 starting price is well below the 3.38 million yuan ($530,000) commanded by the Ferrari 488 GTB.
