Did you really think the Honda Civic Type R was going to be alone?

It’s official; Acura is confirmed to be working on a new, very fast Integra Type S. Details on specifics are somewhat slim, but we know that the new Integra Type-S will have over 300 horsepower, a six-speed manual, and a limited-slip differential.

The official photos released by Acura are heavily camouflaged, but you can still ascertain a lot of details from what looks to be the holy grail of Honda hatches. The Acura’s five-door silhouette remains, but big wide haunches and a body kit hint that this is more than your regular hatchback. Similar to the Honda Civic Type R, the Integra Type S has a tri-tip exhaust mounted in the dead center of the car. Like the Civic Type R, there’s no huge boy-racer rear wing at the back, although that could possibly change by the Integra’s production.

Despite sharing most of its mechanical bits with the Honda Civic, the Acura Integra has distanced itself from its Civic roots with styling, handling calibration, and an overall premium vibe and luxury focus that isn’t present in the basic Civic. In terms of performance, the Type S seems to share the same 300-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, that the brand says promises “ultimate street performance and driver engagement.” The Integra Type S will definitely be the rebirth of a track-focused god for many, but for those unfamiliar with the legend, the Integra Type R could be a solid competitor to cars like the Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG.

The Acura Integra Type S will go on sale for the 2024 model year. An official camo-less reveal and sale date should likely happen sometime in early 2023, with sales to commence in the summer.
