The 300-plus horsepower, performance-trim Acura Integra Type S is real — but it will not get all-wheel-drive as hoped for by many enthusiasts.
Acura confirmed the long-anticipated, 2024 Type S Monday with lightly camouflaged pictures of the compact hellion at its Toshigi, Japan, test track facility.
With the base, $37K Acura Integra — the first Integra model in the United States since 2001 — Honda's premium brand returned to its heritage of producing premium sporty hatchbacks. The Integra Type S completes the transformation with a high-output, turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and tuned suspension similar to the raucous, $44K Honda Civic Type R.
