Powerful and elegant: the 2024 Acura Integra S model

The return of Acura’s venerable sports sedan, the Integra, comes with a comet effect. Their version of the Type S is the most powerful version they have ever released. Thanks to its head-turning design, responsive powertrain, and long list of accessories, the Integra’s global ambitions have been rewarded.

The exterior of this four-door performance car immediately gets the adrenaline flowing. The last Acura I reviewed was the TLX trim wearing the head-turning Tiger Eye Pearl paint. here. Without skimping on the color sheen, this latest review model featured the gorgeous Apex Blue Pearl color, which is also highly recommended. Acura’s signature black diamond-shaped pentagon grille, 19-inch alloy wheels shod with premium summer tires, LED “chicane” lighting, and red Brembo brake callipers on the eye candy. The Integra’s muscular design is enhanced with flared intakes, strategically placed air vents, and triple exhaust at the rear.

Of course, the best way to prove that Acura has a racing enthusiast in mind is what’s under the hood. The S-Type version is labeled more acceptable and more powerful, with its 2.0L VTEC four-cylinder engine topping out at 320 horsepower with^*310 lb-ft of torque perfect for any passing situation—or just for simple excitement. With the current dominance of paddle shifters in the automotive industry, the 6-speed manual transmission will bring a smile to those worried about today’s shortage of stick shifts. Depending on the experience the driver wants, there are multiple modes—Sport, Comfort, Normal, Individual, and the exciting Sport+. The limited-slip front differential and dual-axle front suspension improve the ride especially when cornering.
