Excessive-Efficiency Acura Integra Kind S Coming Subsequent Summer season

Acura introduced its beloved Integra compact luxurious sedan again for 2023. A resurrection of the corporate’s most sentimental product, it’s precisely just like the Integras you keep in mind from the Nineteen Nineties – a dressed up Honda Civic with angle.

What’s Acura’s subsequent trick? Bringing again the high-performance Integra. Immediately Acura introduced that an Integra Kind S will be part of the lineup for 2024.

Promising “final avenue efficiency and driver engagement,” Acura says the Kind S “might be powered by a high-revving 2.0-liter VTEC turbocharged engine producing over 300 horsepower and paired completely with a 6-speed guide and limited-slip differential.”

In case you assume that sounds suspiciously just like the powertrain behind the not too long ago revealed Honda Civic Kind R, you assume like we do. The Kind R’s 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder makes 315 horsepower, and its 6-speed guide features a rev-matching perform. Each could be proper at dwelling in a contemporary Integra Kind S.

What would differentiate the Acura from the Civic? Bodywork and magnificence selections.

Alongside a spartan press launch, Acura despatched photographs of the Integra Kind S in testing. Curiously, they left it wrapped in camouflage for its media debut (take a look at me! I’m hiding!)

However the photographs present sufficient for us to know the Kind S wears a totally totally different entrance fascia than in the present day’s Integra, with a wider stance bulging out over tires which may be as massive as 20 inches. The rear is delicate, with a small lip spoiler fairly than an enormous, fight-picking wing. However three exhaust suggestions and a wide-set diffuser make its efficiency intentions clear.

The Integra Kind S arrives subsequent summer time, Acura says.
