Acura Unveils 2024 Integra Type S As The Most Powerful Integra Model

As the much-anticipated 2024 Acura Integra Type S prepares to make its grand entrance onto the automobile market, automotive enthusiasts are eagerly waiting for the moment to witness this awe-inspiring sport sedan in all its glory. The excitement is further amplified as the public eagerly anticipates the spectacle of the Integra Type S’s debut, set to take place at the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach this weekend. As the countdown commences, it remains uncertain what pricing details will emerge in the ensuing days.

Powertrain and Suspension

What sets the Integra Type S apart from its predecessors is its formidable 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine. With an impressive output of 320 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 310 pound-feet of torque available between 2,600 and 4,000 revs, the Integra Type S claims the title of the most powerful Integra ever to emerge from the renowned automaker’s assembly line. Moreover, the new model leaves enthusiasts with only one gearbox option: a six-speed manual transmission boasting rev-matching technology and a limited-slip differential. Acura, in its inimitable fashion, has opted not to furnish any approximations for the model’s 0-60-mph time or maximum velocity.

The suspension boasts of adaptive dampers that are endowed with Comfort, Sport, and Sport+ driving modes, providing drivers with various options to choose from. Notably, the front stabilizer bar’s diameter is 1.14 inches (29 millimeters), a difference of 0.08 inches compared to the standard Integra. Moreover, the front brakes come complete with Brembo four-piston monobloc calipers, exquisitely designed for maximum performance. Aesthetics and functionality merge seamlessly with functional ducts in the front fascia routing cooling air to the brakes. The Type S glides on 19-inch wheels with a breathtaking Shark Gray finish and a 10-spoke design. Wrapped around the wheels is the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, a tire boasting a size of 265/30.

The tabulated information delineated below offers a glimpse into the dimensional distinctions existing between the Type S and the standard iteration of Integra:
