The Acura Integra Type S HRC Prototype is a high-performance concept that showcases Acura's racing heritage and engineering prowess. Here are some key highlights:
- Aerodynamic Enhancements: Inspired by the Integra Type S TCX racecar, it features a larger front splitter, cooling ducts, hood vents, side splitters, and an adjustable carbon fiber rear wing for improved downforce and high-speed stability.
- Weight Reduction: The prototype is nearly 200 lbs lighter than the standard Integra Type S, thanks to the use of carbon fiber components, lightweight wheels, and the removal of non-essential features like air conditioning.
- Performance Upgrades: It includes a larger intercooler, a lightweight cat-back exhaust system, and an adjustable rear anti-roll bar to enhance engine, suspension, and braking performance.
- Interior Design: The cabin is equipped with carbon fiber Recaro bucket seats, yellow seatbelts, and Alcantara trim, emphasizing its track-focused nature.
- Exclusive Features: The prototype is finished in Indy Yellow Pearl, a color previously exclusive to the NSX supercar, and adorned with custom HRC badges.
This prototype was unveiled at Monterey Car Week and hints at a potential line of Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) performance parts for Acura enthusiasts.
