Compared to the brand's first version of the hybrid supercar, Acura's departing NSX Type S

the thinnest, sharpest package imaginable. Though they are unlikely opponents and are more likely to be
purchased together than cross-shopped, their comparisons in a U-shaped drag race are surprisingly close.
