About the Honda Integra Type R DC2
The DC2 Integra Type R was developed with a singular focus on track performance, featuring a seam-welded chassis for increased rigidity and significant weight reduction. Its B18C engine utilised hand-polished intake ports and high-compression pistons to achieve one of the highest specific outputs of its era. On the road, it is celebrated for its telepathic steering, mechanical limited-slip differential, and a high-revving VTEC crossover. It remains a benchmark for front-wheel-drive dynamics and a cornerstone of Japanese performance car culture.
