The 2022 Acura NSX is a true super car, with a marvelous engine and aerodynamic frame that allows it to move with incredible speed and agility. But what happens when it goes toe to toe with the 2022 Mercedes Benz AMG GT, a muscular vehicle with earth shattering power, enough space to comfortably seat four and host of technical features?

Design & Style

The Mercedes Benz AMG GT has a powerful fastback frame with the low, broad stance that is typical of super cars. The hood is extended with a shortened deck and 19 inch wheels underneath. The spoiler in the rear can be adjusted as desired and almost every surface in the cabin is covered in high end carbon fiber. The Acura NSX has a body and frame which resembles a sword. Visually, there can be no doubt that this car was built purely for performance. The grille in front is blacked out, with LED light strips and large wheels. Compared to the exterior, the cabin is rather subdued, with lots of leather wrapped surfaces and a button strip designed to manage the shifter.

Technology & Safety

The engineers at Acura put so much time, energy and money into making the NSX a powerhouse, but didn’t bother to incorporate standard safety features. For instance, it has no emergency automated brakes, blind area monitoring or cruise control. Luxuries within its cabin include the choice of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, seven inch touchscreens, and leather upholstery.

The Mercedes Benz AMG GT has all the safety features that the NSX lacks, including automated emergency brakes, blind area monitoring, parking assistance, headlights which are adaptive, and it can automatically detect traffic signs while evading hazardous situations. Luxuries within its cabin include a Burmester sound system with fourteen speakers, 12.3 inch displays, a sunroof, smartphone charging and dampers which can be adjusted.

Performance

Those that purchase the Mercedes Benz AMG GT with the dual turbo V8 engine will be able to generate 577 horsepower and accelerate from zero to sixty in just 3.3 seconds, reaching a top speed of 195 mph. The Acura NSX has a 573 horsepower engine that enables it to accelerate from zero to sixty in 3 seconds, reaching a top speed of 191 mph.

The Bottom Line

While the Acura NSX is one of the most powerful cars on the planet, it sacrifices everything for that power. For example, whereas the Mercedes Benz AMG GT seats 4, the NSX only seats 2, and it is completely devoid of most modern safety features, making it dangerous to drive, so the Mercedes Benz AMG GT wins.
