I think the NSX stands alone. There's really no connection between the NSX and the rest of the Acura line. NSX is an amazing sport car in many ways while the rest of the acura like like sporty luxury.
Even with its age? Those 2 are 5 years younger than Acura. But I think they didn't bring over their super car yet because they don't feel like they need to yet. But they are bringing it over according to R&T. Toyota is bringing over a V10 supercar costing about $150k and Nissan is bringing over the GT-R with about 450 HP & still AWD.
Acura is looking at the NSX for performance image while Lexus and infiniti is just trying to improve all their cars to match the image they want to project.
