Acura Integra Type S HRC Prototype | What You Need To Know
The Acura Integra Type S HRC Prototype has been revealed. The car features an array of HRC (Honda Racing Corporation) components to unleash a bold street and track-focused performance oriented Integra Type S. Maximizing power, handling, and overall performance. This is the ultimate factory produced street and track Integra! Prefer to watch the video of the HRC on track with information, then click here. Below is what we know so far:
Engine output has been improved. We don’t know how much yet, but we do know it’s been done by using a larger improved front mount intercooler, twin oil coolers, a new lightweight cat-back exhaust system, and more. These components were developed for the Acura Integra Type S HRC TCX race car.
The Integra Type S HRC sits 15mm lower and further optimizes handling by incorporating a track-ready coilover suspension system, adjustable rear anti-roll bar and adjustable front and rear camber plates. New lightweight forged 19x9.5in wheels with an increased negative offset widen both the front and rear track by 30mm. All this not only improves handling, but offers a more aggressive stance. Grip is maximized via a set of sticky Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R tires (265/30ZR19, 60 Treadwear rating)
The front brakes have been upgraded with massive 15-inch two-piece rotors (1.4 inches larger than the standard Integra) and Brembo 6-piston aluminum calipers. The rear sees a reduction in unsprung weight by utilizing two-piece rotors. Larger front fascia air ducts improve brake cooling performance by routing more air to the front rotors.
The rear is reinforced with a robust X-Brace to stiffen up the chassis; this also provides a multipoint harness attachment location. The interior also features some upgraded Alcantara and color-matched yellow seatbelts, stitching and trim.
Acura took aerodynamic development components from their Integra Type S TCX racecar and implemented it into the HRC Prototype to optimize aerodynamics and increase downforce. Thus increasing stability at high speeds. These functional pieces include a new front fascia with a larger front splitter, cooling ducts, hood vents, side splitters, and a large adjustable carbon fiber rear wing with aluminum upright pedestals.
The yellow you’re seeing is called Indy Yellow Pearl and is inspired from its debut on the second generation NSX supercar. HRC badges are custom milled from aluminum and placed on the grille, front fenders, and deckled. These badges are the same that are seen on Honda and Acura winning race cars in IndyCar, IMSA and Formula 1.
