Created by the Acura Design Studio in Los Angeles, the styling of the Acura Integra Type S HRC Prototype is “distinct and dynamic from all angles.” The prototype model applies technical experience gained from the aerodynamic development of the Integra Type S TCX racecar to increase downforce and improve high-speed stability.

Aerodynamic performance at track speeds is optimized with a number of functional aerodynamic elements, including a new front fascia with a larger front splitter and cooling ducts, larger hood vents, side splitters and an adjustable carbon fiber rear wing with aluminum uprights.

The Prototype is finished in Indy Yellow Pearl paint, a color that debuted on the second-generation NSX supercar. Custom milled aluminum HRC badges on the grille, front fenders and decklid have the same logo seen on winning Honda and Acura race machines in IndyCar, IMSA and Formula 1.**

To improve performance, the Acura Integra Type S HRC Prototype uses carbon fiber components to reduce weight, including the hood, rear door panels and bolstered one-piece Recaro bucket seats. The rear seat has been replaced with a carbon shelf engineered to provide hardcore drivers with secure track-day transport of four mounted wheels and tires. Along with an optional air conditioning delete, overall weight is reduced by ~200 pounds compared to the Integra Type S.

Engine Performance and Handling

The output, response and cooling performance of the high-revving turbocharged 2.0-literVTEC® engine are improved with a larger intercooler, twin oil coolers and a tuned, lightweight cat-back exhaust system, all developed for the Acura Integra Type S HRC TCX race car.
