What is the best method for Acura to make the new Integra better? They gave it a stronger chassis, better tires, and greater power. We are therefore happy that the Type S, Integra's impending performance model, will have several handling improvements and a powertrain sourced from the new Honda Civic Type R. At Honda's test facilities in Tochigi, Japan, we drove a Type S prototype. The new model is expected to debut this summer and should provide the over-40 demographic with an alternative to the boisterous Type R.

 
The Acura Integra has long remained one of the market's most fun-to-drive sport compacts. For serious driving enthusiasts who desire an elevated level of performance, Acura introduces the all-new Integra Type S. Not only does this exciting model promise to deliver a thrilling drive, but it also looks just as aggressive.

 
The Acura Type S series comes from the same origins that made Acura a powerful force in the luxury car market. It originated from North America's new craving for the best luxury and performance available after recovering from the economy of the early 1970s that started the American gas crisis. After it was born in the 1990s, the Type S name became Honda's trophy from the race to produce the most cost-effective and best-performing luxury cars for their value.
