The two-door Integra concept broke cover in China with a targa roof, manual gearbox, and a nod to the past
GAC Honda unveiled a Civic-based Integra concept in China . It was transformed into a two-door with a removable targa roof. It appears equipped with a manual and a 1.5-liter turbo engine. The new Prelude hybrid coupe might be stealing the spotlight in Honda ’s current lineup, but another model is trying hard to edge into view at the Guangzhou Auto Show in China .
More: What If Honda Turned The New Prelude Into A Modern-Day Integra Type R? The GAC Honda joint venture has revealed a heavily modified version of the local-market, Civic-based Integra, reimagined as a two-door with a removable hardtop. And yes, it’s hard not to draw parallels with Honda's classic CR-X from the 1990s in its silhouette. What Is the Integra Targa? Let’s be clear that the Integra Targa isn’t destined for showrooms. This is a concept, and almost certainly a one-off. Its foundation is the hatchback version of the Integra, GAC Honda’s counterpart to Dongfeng Honda’s Civic in the Chinese market. The front and rear ends are mostly stock, but the center section tells another story. The roof is gone, the rear doors have been deleted, and the front doors are now longer and frameless. It’s a dramatic alteration of the base car. More: Honda Really Wants To Make A New S2000, But It’s Not That Simple It doesn’t stop there. The B-pillar has been pushed rearward and thickened to create a reinforced cocoon around the cabin’s back half. The rear quarter windows and glass hatch appear largely untouched, preserving the flow of the Targa profile and recalling earlier open-top Hondas in the process. The study sits on white multi-spoke alloy wheels that match the paintwork, with red mirror caps as a nod to the Integra Anniversary Special Limited Edition introduced last year. Inside, the concept replaces the standard five-seat layout of the hatchback and sedan with a 2+2 arrangement. The open roof guarantees endless headroom for those up front, while the rear seats are anyone’s guess for comfort. Red accents across the dashboard add a touch of color to an otherwise familiar cabin. Overall, the Integra study does capture a hint of the 1990s Honda CR-X del Sol’s spirit, though its proportions come across as awkward and more than a little uncertain about their purpose. Photos shared on X by Tycho de Feijter reveal the drop-top Integra is fitted with a six-speed manual gearbox. That setup points to Honda’s 1.5-liter turbocharged VTEC engine producing around 180 hp . The hybrid variant doesn’t come with a manual, so this is almost certainly the standard gasoline unit. GAC Honda hasn’t released official information, implying this was built mainly as a showpiece for the Guangzhou Auto Show rather than a preview of future production. Its biggest obstacle is the market itself. Two-door coupes and convertibles remain a narrow niche in China, and turning a concept like this into a viable product would be a tough sell.
