The light weight NSX Type R was created for those customers that wanted a more driver focused machine. Meanwhile, back in 1992, Honda had launched a new Type R version of the fabled NSX. The third generation Integra’s most distinctive feature was its front end styling Honda’s in-house design team had come up with a bug-eyed four-port look that ultimately proved unpopular in the firm’s home market.Īs a result of this unpopularity, Integras built for the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) from the autumn of 1995 received a facelift with slim single-piece headlights that were broadly similar to the type that had been fitted to the second generation variant. It was offered as a front-wheel drive three-door Hatchback or four-door Sedan with a range of single and dual overhead camshaft four cylinder engines ranging in size from 1.6 to 1.8-litres. The third generation Integra was launched in 1993. The result was a range of high revving motors that effectively offered a split personality according to the whim of the driver. It provided high performance at faster engine speeds, but enabled lower fuel consumption at slower engine speeds.

The VTEC system (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) was devised to improve volumetric efficiency by altering the engine’s camshaft profile. The Integra arrived in 1985 as Honda’s upper mid-range model.Īfter several years of strong sales, a second generation Integra followed in 1989 and brought with it Honda’s first VTEC motor. By the mid 1980s, the company had become one of the biggest motor manufacturers in the world. There is currently a lien on this car, and the seller’s lender will have to be paid off before the title can be transferred to the next owner.Having made a breakthrough into the automotive market with the first generation Civic in 1972, Honda went from strength-to-strength.
