Honda Performance Development has just introduced their latest race car, the Acura Integra Type S DE5, tailored for the competitive TCX class of the SRO TC America championship. This race-ready model closely mirrors its road counterpart while boasting enhancements that cater to its high-performance racing ambitions.

Namely, the Acura Integra Type S DE5 showcases a ventilated composite hood, a customizable rear wing, and 18-inch forged wheels. The car's braking capabilities are augmented with AP Racing brakes and six-piston calipers at the front, while OEM components are utilized at the rear.

The interior has been stripped down to the essentials, featuring a roll cage and an OMP racing seat equipped with a six-point harness. The cockpit is fitted with a Motec C127 digital instrument cluster, an on-board fire suppression system, and a quick-disconnect steering wheel, ensuring easy access to vital controls and settings.

At the heart of the Integra Type S DE5 lies a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. This powerplant has undergone enhancements, including new mounts, a Motec M1 ECU, a HPD/Borla downpipe, and a turbo rear exhaust. These result in an impressive power output of up to 360 horsepower and 340 lb-ft of torque.

The engine is paired with a six-speed sequential transmission that directs power to through an adjustable limited-slip differential from HPD and Cusco. The vehicle's performance package is further elevated with a 16-gallon FIA FT3 fuel cell and an upgraded cooling system featuring a HPD radiator, intercooler, and auxiliary oil coolers, as well as a track-focused suspension setup. Enthusiasts can now secure their interest in the Acura Integra Type S DE5 through pre-orders, backed by a $25,000 deposit.
