There are now two types of the highest-performance Honda Civic.
OK, the 2024 Acura Integra Type S is a bit more than that, even though you probably couldn't tell from its Honda-shading specs, and certainly represents a huge upgrade over the regular Integra. There is a cursory 5-hp advantage given to the Acura's version of the Type R's turbocharged 2.0-liter K20C1 engine, which pushes out 320 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque—a 120-hp, 118-lb-ft increase over the 200 hp and 192 lb-ft made by the 1.5-liter turbo I-4 found in every other 'teg.
The two"Type"-grade hatchbacks share the same close-ratio auto rev-matching-capable six speed manual transmission; helical limited-slip differential; torque-steer-icing dual-axis front suspension design; Brembo brakes; and driver-adjustable adaptive dampers.
The steering wheel is wrapped in leather, but it's perforated with colored stitching and the shift boot matches it. The shift knob itself looks similar to the Type R's aluminum unit, but is dark anodized and doesn't have the same matte look as the high-performance Civic's piece. The metal bezel surrounding the shifter also gets a"Type S" engraved into it.
Both cars come with a 10.2-inch digital gauge cluster and 9.0-inch color touchscreen , but the Acura trades the Honda's 12-speaker Bose system with a 16-speaker, 530-watt ELS Studio 3D premium sound system. If it's the same top-notch setup currently offered in the regular Integra's top A-Spec Technology package trim level, oh boy—because it'll melt your face.
