the DC5 Honda Integra Type R carries back over 3 years. That was for the first appearance of the car in Hypertune's pages and the specimen we procured for that coverage was a completely standard black one. Back then, I was amazed how Honda managed to create such a capable successor to the now legendary DC2 Integra Type R.
It was a challenge like no other for the Honda engineers for they had to come up with replacement for a car that rewrote the book on front-wheel drive performance which led Honda's immeasurable motorsports pedigree for its wide-ranging compact car segment. Added to that, the DC2 Type R had in its belly the fiery disposition of the unparalleled B-series powerplant family in the shape of the 187bhp B18C.
The K20A powerplant brought the new range of Honda street racers into the 2.0 litre class, including the Civic Type R which shares a similar but less tuned engine.
This updated version of the Integra Type R (DC5) was slated for sale in Japan and the U.S. The special color, Championship White, celebrates Honda's first victory in Formula One. The DC5 Integra Type R features a K20A 2.0-liter engine with 220 horsepower, a new six-speed manual gearbox, Recaro front seats, a leather-wrapped MOMO steering wheel, aluminum pedals, aluminum shift knob, exclusive aero parts, and Brembo front brakes.
