Integra Type S is a more luxurious Civic Type R.
The 19x9.5-inch wheels have an Integra-specific design, but they, along with the 265/30R19 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires, are the same size as the Type R's. To accommodate the huge increase in track width, the Integra Type S gets big fender flares, which also help increase the tuner-car vibe. Up front, there are 13.8-inch two-piece rotors and Brembo-branded four-piston fixed calipers, while the rear has 12-inch rotors and single-piston sliding calipers.
Acura was able to squeeze 320 horsepower out of Honda's much-loved K20C1 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, compared with 315 hp in the Type R. The brand is currently mum on the specific engine changes that contributed to the power increase, but did say the Type S has a unique exhaust system.
Even though the Integra Type S is the more luxurious counterpart to the Civic Type R, it's not much heavier, weighing in at 3219 pounds to the Honda's 3188. Dimensionally, it's near identical to the Type R, though at 186 inches in length, it's 5.1 inches longer than the Civic.Acura isn't giving us any more specifics today, and pricing won't be announced until closer to the June on-sale date.
The Integra Type S seems to be the more luxurious alternative to the Civic Type R, though we don't expect it'll be too different to drive. Which is to say it should be excellent.
