Acura NSX Type S Transformed Into Real-Life Anime Racer

At last week's Long Beach Grand Prix, part of the IndyCar series, KBMER was tasked with turning a Curva Red-paintedAcura NSXType S into a manga style warrior that would look at home in Initial D. Manga is a style of Japanese cartoon that stretches back nearly 150 years and is stylistically characterized by bold and colorful illustrations of mature themes. KBMER is a master at replicating this style in all sorts of media, but he is best known for making cars look like they come straight out of a manga cartoon strip.

In January Acurastarted production of the NSX Type S, linking the event with the launch of an all-newAcura anime series starring the NSX Type Samong other Type S models. But what could be better than bringing the anime creation to real life? After hours in the sun, KBMER's finished artwork is absolutely stunning. The end result is a mind-bending mix of animation and reality, but it helps when the canvas is as stunning as this.

As a send-off to the second-generation NSX supercar, the NSX Type S is already highly exclusive; just 350 will be made, of which 300 will be sold in the US.

The Type S gets a few tasty upgrades over the standard car such as bespoke five-spoke wheels wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero rubber, a re-tuned adaptive damper system, unique Type S decals, and a carbon fiber roof. The Type S also sports an updated version of the mid-mounted 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine which produces 600 horsepower and 492 lb-ft of torque.

Every Type S is already sold out, which makes us wonder which lucky customer will be getting this custom piece of artwork. Whoever they are, they can rest assured that there isn't another one out there that looks like this.
