Updated Integra Type S and Heritage Edition will begin arriving at Acura dealers next month
Acura will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the U.S. debut of the iconic "DC2" Integra Type R (1997-2001) with the introduction of a 2027 Integra Type S Heritage Edition, limited to just 700 units for North America. The new Integra Type S Heritage Edition pays tribute to the legendary hot hatch with distinctive retro-inspired design cues, including exclusive Blazing Phoenix Yellow paint, a titanium shift knob, plus Copper-finish alloy wheels. The special edition benefits from significant updates to the 2027 Integra Type S, including refreshed styling inside and out and more standard features.
The 2027 Integra Type S Heritage Edition will make its public debut as the Official Vehicle of Super Street After Dark this Saturday, Nov. 14 in Santa Ana, CA, and will appear at the LA Auto Show on Nov. 19 -29. The 2027 Integra Type S including the Heritage Edition will begin arriving at Acura dealerships in December.
"The original Integra Type R became an icon because it delivered an exhilarating yet attainable, and unmistakably Acura performance experience, and the Acura Integra Type S Heritage Edition is an incredible way to honor that legacy," said Mamadou Diallo, executive vice president of the Auto Business Center at American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "For 2027, we’re taking the Integra Type S even further with refreshed styling and more standard features, enhancing the experience of driving the most powerful, best-performing Integra ever."
The Acura Integra Type R was the first Type R model sold in America, offered in the U.S. for the 1997, 1998, 2000 and 2001 model years. That original Type R model showcased the brand’s commitment to performance through lightweight construction, a high-revving 1.8-liter VTEC engine and a close-ratio five-speed manual transmission. Known by enthusiasts for its "DC2" chassis designation, remains one of the most revered front-wheel-drive performance cars of all time.

2027 Integra Type S The award-winning Acura Integra Type S receives significant updates inside and out for the 2027 model year, all designed to heighten the driving experience.
Acura has enhanced the styling with new gloss-black and yellow accents that accentuate the premium sport sedan’s performance-focused character. Gloss-black wheels are now standard, while the Integra Type S and Heritage Edition gain new gloss-black mirror caps and yellow brake calipers that add a pop of color.
Inside, the cabin experience of every Integra Type S, including the Heritage Edition, is further elevated with premium materials and intricate detailing. New dark gray trim has been added throughout the interior, including the instrument panel, door panels, shifter surround and interior door handles. The new instrument panel trim also features a new diamond-pattern that increases the racing-inspired look and feel of the cabin, while black climate control knobs provide additional contrast.
A range of redesigned upholstery options give the cabin of the 2027 Acura Integra Type S a more distinctive character. The redesigned Ebony interior features contrasting yellow perforation accents and stitching on the seats, complemented by yellow stitching on the steering wheel, door panels, center console and shifter boot. The redesigned Orchid interior is now accented by contrasting blue microsuede stripes, while the redesigned Red interior features contrasting black microsuede stripe accents.
The 2027 Integra Type S also adds new standard convenience features, including a driver memory seat, reverse tilt-down functionality for the driver and passenger-side mirrors, and memory brake hold, helping deliver a more personalized and intuitive driving experience.
Standard high-performance hardware includes a turbocharged 2.0-liter VTEC® engine , producing 320 horsepower (SAE net @ 6,500 rpm) and 310 lb.-ft. of torque (SAE net @ 2,600 to 4,000 rpm). Integra Type S also comes standard with the only manual transmission in its class—a precise, short-throw 6-speed with an automatic rev-matching system for an intimate and rewarding analog driving experience. A limited slip differential puts the engine's power to the pavement effectively.
2027 Integra Type S Heritage Edition The 2027 Integra Type S Heritage Edition celebrates the legacy of the iconic "DC2" Integra Type R with exclusive design details inspired by the 2000 model. Exclusive exterior design elements include an all-new color, Blazing Phoenix Yellow—a more vibrant, modern interpretation of Phoenix Yellow, an enthusiast favorite introduced on the 2000 Integra Type R. It also marks the first time an Integra has been offered in yellow since the 2001 Integra Type R. The intensity of the new color is complemented by exclusive black Type S badging, while standard 10-spoke, 19x9.5-inch alloy copper-finish wheels add a retro flair.
Inspiration from the "DC2" continues inside the cabin with the Heritage Edition’s exclusive titanium shift knob. Precision-crafted from the same material and inspired by the shape of the shift knob of the Japanese-market Integra Type R, the design pays homage to the original while adding a distinctive, tactile element to the driving experience.
Every Integra Type S Heritage Edition will come equipped with the model’s redesigned Ebony interior, now featuring contrasting yellow accents. The seat backs and bottoms are adorned with yellow stitching and perforations. Yellow stitching also accents the steering wheel, door panels, center console and shifter boot.
The production run of the 2027 Integra Type S Heritage Edition is limited to just 700 units for the U.S. market.
