The Integra sure set a standard! Even though The Integra Type R was the one and only of its line to reach the European markets, it is the car that set a standard for every Honda car that was produced thereafter. Honda managed to be the engine supplier for several F1 cars powering performance cars such as Mansell and Senna. However, until the Integra was introduced, Honda was not really considered a performance brand.

The quad lights were not a hit! The JDM did not fancy the Integra’s four-eyed version. When the car was introduced to Japan in 93, the locals rejected the quad lights, so Honda decided to give a facelift and offer them the standard headlights. However, three years to the future, Honda managed to convince the UK drivers to fall in love with the quad –lights version. If you have direct access to auction in Japan, then you can find the Integra version sold in Japan with standard headlights.

Black, red or white? The Honda Integra was manufactured in three colors only - Black, red and white! The first-ever F1 win back in 1965 for Honda in Mexico was on a white-hued Integra.

Good things take time. Honda took its time to assemble the Integra. The manufacturer limited the number of cars produced for a day to twenty-five. The inlet valves were customized, and the 8,000rpm speed shows that Honda spends more than just time to create this beast. Part of Honda’s heritage fleet, the Integra is a car you must invest in.

Top class aerodynamics Compared to modern sports cars, the Integra was pretty quiet. The unique body kit, fancy bucket seats, distinctive red Honda badge, and functioning aero made this a whopper.

The superlight Integra The Honda engineers managed to take off any extra weight! The kerbweight of the Integra is 1140kg, which is super light for a vehicle of that caliber.
