Integra Performance

The next-gen 2023 Acura Integra has been long-awaited by fans—and the Integra is back in a big way. Acura’s returned to its Precision Crafted Performance Roots with a powerful VTEC®-enhanced engine that pumps out 200 hp and 192 lb.-ft of torque. It’s the first factory-turbocharged engine in the Integra’s history, and its performance is nothing short of awesome.

The Integra has plenty of pep, with peak torque occurring from 1,800-5,000 rpm. Hit the gas and experience a quick punch off the line and out of even the tightest corners. The engine is tuned to maintain high output between both the torque peak and 6,000 rpm power peak. The Integra stands out among all competitors in its class, delivering 133.3 hp per liter—the highest output in the class.

The engine is packed with features like optimized turbo plumbing, a super-efficient turbocharger, and Variable Timing Control on both cams. Overall, the Integra engine is quick and offers impressive torque in all gears. It’s an exhilarating driving experience built for Integra fans both new and old.

Acura’s even paid special attention to the Integra’s exhaust to make every experience behind the wheel that much more amazing. The Integra’s high-flow, coiled exhaust system adds an intimidating growl under acceleration while helping the vehicle maximize horsepower.

This impressive engine comes standard in every Integra, but there’s one optional feature that pushes this sporty sedan’s performance even further—a manual transmission. The Integra is the only vehicle in its class with an available manual transmission. You couldn’t ask for a better driving experience.
