Acura Integra Type S HRC Prototype: All The Details

Aero 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's visually intense bodywork is finished in striking Indy Yellow Pearl paint, a color that debuted on the second-generation NSX supercar.

To improve overall performance, the Acura Integra Type S HRC Prototype utilizes extensive carbon fiber components to reduce weight, including the hood, rear door panels and aggressively bolstered one-piece Recaro bucket seats.

The output, response and cooling performance of the high-revving turbocharged 2.0-liter VTEC 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.

To help stiffen the chassis and provide an attachment location for multipoint harnesses, the rear bulkhead is reinforced with a robust X-Brace, which was finished in the same striking Indy Yellow Pearl paint as the exterior.

Handling is optimized with a lowered (15mm) track-ready suspension featuring tuned coilovers, an adjustable rear anti-roll bar and adjustable front and rear camber plates, similar to that of the Acura Integra Type S HRC TCX race car. Forged lightweight 19 x 9.5-inch wheels with increased negative offset widen the front and rear track by 30mm. This not only improves handling, but gives the Prototype an especially aggressive stance.

For exceptional braking performance, the Acura Integra Type S HRC Prototype employs massive 15-inch two-piece front rotors (+1.4 inches than the standard Integra) and Brembo 6-piston aluminum calipers. Two-piece rear rotors have been applied to further reduce unsprung weight. Larger ducts in the front fascia improve brake cooling performance by routing more air to the front rotors.

Custom milled aluminum HRC badges on the grille, front fenders and decklid make a bold statement, featuring the same logo seen on winning Honda and Acura race machines in IndyCar, IMSA and Formula 1.

The premium-performance cabin experience is further enhanced with black Alcantara and color-matched yellow seatbelts, stitching and trim.

To maximize grip, the performance wheels are wrapped in track-ready Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R ultra high-performance tires (265/30ZR19) with a 60 Treadwear rating.

The rear seat has been replaced with a clever carbon shelf engineered to provide hardcore driving enthusiasts with secure track-day transport of four mounted wheels and tires.

Along with an optional air conditioning delete, overall weight is reduced by nearly 200 lbs. from the Integra Type S.
