The Type S will be the high-performance version of the Integra by packing a turbocharged 2.0-liter VTEC four-cylinder that makes 320 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. Unsurprisingly, those specs are awfully similar to the[ Honda Civic Type R's](), because the Integra Type S is based on its Honda cousin. The [Acura]() version gets five more horses than the Honda, likely to keep brand hierarchy intact, but their spec sheets should be similar. Just like the Civic Type R, the Integra Type S will get a short-throw six-speed manual transmission that will send power to only the front wheels through a clever front differential. ![]() You can expect that similarity to carry through the rest of the Integra Type S. However, just like the standard Integra, the Type S should be nicer on the inside than the Civic Type R, with richer materials and a slightly more expensive-looking design. As for the exterior design, Acura only released two shadowy teaser images. Neither reveals too much but you can see that it's going to get wider fender flares, likely to accommodate a wider wheel track and a small carbon fiber lip spoiler. A small teaser video accompanied the photos and it lets you hear a few seconds of the Type S's exhaust note, which is punctuated by a few burbles. This is just a teaser for now but Acura is going to fully unveil the Integra Type S next month at the IndyCar Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach on April 10. Cars should be hitting the streets sometime in the summer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMkh4j49etM *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
