Chic fastback optics: Acura Integra prototype (MY 2022)!

Hard to believe, but with that 2022 Acura Integra prototype Honda brings a famous name from days gone by back to the streets. And that after more than two decades! It only bears the Honda logo not official. But the Acura Badge, which makes it even more exclusive. The Acura Integra prototype is a kind of sporty and noble Civic derivative of the American offshoot Acura. Yesterday it premiered as a prototype in Los Angeles. Like the first model from 1986, it shows up as a Liftback limousine and with the current Acura style elements. The front reminds us a bit of a current Opel Insignia, but it doesn't have to be interpreted negatively. The specially shaped ones have a dynamic effect LED headlights, can "Chicane" daytime running lights and the "Diamond Pentagon ”grille in the wind.

The rear view could also be a facelift from the Tesla Model 3 be, especially the curved “Chicane” taillights with the notched interior design are an eye-catcher.

In the side view, the long front overhang and the arched roof line reveal the (possible) Civic with hatchback, which is probably to be found behind the Acura elements. However, Acura has tried to hide the sometimes jagged and overly aggressive design of the Civic. And it succeeded! The front section with the frameless grille (from the Type S Concept), the bonnet, the Bumpers and the fenders are beautifully designed in our opinion and especially in combination with the paint in Indian Yellow Pearl (from the current NSX) as a little homage to the Phoenix Yellow of the Integra Type R an eye-catcher.

With it you'll get Kontraste in Berlina Black on rear spoiler, the Mirror covers, the rear diffuser and the front Grill, A Sill graphic also shows the Integra name on the page. But the certain independence or the ultimate “WOW-Effect”, that is something we lack. Painted in silver, the Acura Integra prototype is very likely to be lost in the street scene.

And unfortunately the vehicle still has from the pictures no interior. It would be a surprise, however, if the Civic did not also serve as a starting point here. However, we would like to note again at this point that it is not officially confirmedthat the Integra Prototype is based on the chassis of the Civic. But we know that the 1,5-liter four-cylinder VTEC® with turbocharger from the Civic located under the hood. However, it is unclear whether this will produce more than the 203 hp and 260 Newton meters. the 19 inch spoked wheels and the Brembo high-performance braking system with color-coordinated brake calipers in Indian Yellow but suggest that.

And it is already clear that the Integra 2023 will come with a Six-speed manual gearbox, limited-slip differential and with one Automatic shipped as well front-wheel drive own. We personally would of course prefer all-wheel drive and +300 hp. This may - apart from the all-wheel drive - with a Integra Type S also happen with the 310 hp (228 kW) four-cylinder of the Honda Civic Type R. The production version of the Integra prototype could reach dealerships as early as mid-2022 and will cost around $ 30.000.

Don't worry, of course that was far from being the case when it came to auto / auto tuning. Our magazine still has tens of thousands other tuning reports in stock. Do you want to see them all?
