Excessive-Efficiency Acura Integra Sort S Coming Subsequent Summer time

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 Nineties – a dressed up Honda Civic with perspective.

What’s Acura’s subsequent trick? Bringing again the high-performance Integra. At this time Acura introduced that an Integra Sort S will be a part of the lineup for 2024.

Promising “final road efficiency and driver engagement,” Acura says the Sort S “shall be powered by a high-revving 2.0-liter VTEC turbocharged engine producing over 300 horsepower and paired solely with a 6-speed handbook and limited-slip differential.”

If you happen to suppose that sounds suspiciously just like the powertrain behind the just lately revealed Honda Civic Sort R, you suppose like we do. The Sort R’s 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder makes 315 horsepower, and its 6-speed handbook features a rev-matching operate. Each can be proper at dwelling in a contemporary Integra Sort S.

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

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

However the pictures present sufficient for us to know the Sort S wears a totally completely different entrance fascia than as we speak’s Integra, with a wider stance bulging out over tires that could be as massive as 20 inches. The rear is refined, with a small lip spoiler somewhat than an enormous, fight-picking wing. However three exhaust ideas and a wide-set diffuser make its efficiency intentions clear.

The Integra Sort S arrives subsequent summer season, Acura says.
