Acura Integra : The Story

The Acura was launched in Japan in October 1966. Eiji Toyoda, chairman of the company, said he worked hard to create popular demand, and disputes Acura led a wave of private car ownership taking off in mid-1960.

The transmission was a 4-speed floor shift manual gearbox or with 2-speed floor or column shift automatic transmission, the rear wheels.

At that time, floor shift transmissions were considered only for trucks and 4 speeds implied that the engine had enough torque to get only 3 gears (more torque allows each gear to have a wider spread of engine revolutions, requiring therefore, less gear).

The front suspension was MacPherson struts supported by a transverse leaf spring beneath the engine cross member, with leaf springs attached to a solid axle at the rear.

first model, the Acura Integra, was a sporty hatchback Acura highlighted focus on engineering excellence and quality construction.

Using the knowledge gained from Formula 1 to innovate new technologies for passenger cars, Acura introduced VTEC variable valve timing system for the Integra in the early 90s.

The Integra was the first car after the exotic NSX to receive, and the system helped drive squeeze every drop of power from small 4-cylinder engine, and still a remarkable amount of fuel efficiency.

More importantly, the Integra has shown that the Acura (and Japanese manufacturers as a whole, for that matter) was able to compete with global luxury car manufacturers in the design, quality and creature comforts inside the cabin.

The third and last generation Acura Integra spanned from 1994 and 2001. It was one of the best front wheel drive cars in its class, as it was exciting to drive and had a sporty silhouette that seemed designed to cut through the wind.

At first, Acura offers two lower trims, the base RS and LS. Through the years, Acura updated the lineup by adding a GS finishes in 1998 and the repeal of RS 2000. In addition to the GS-R, no matter who got Integra, it was the same 142-horsepower 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine.

In road tests of the '98 Acura Integra GS-R, our editors found it to be well balanced in that it is fun to drive and easy to use on a daily basis.

In 1990, Acura corrected the problem when released the second generation Integra. Again offered in two body styles (this time with a four-door sedan), this Integra was more developed and powered by a new 1.8-liter four-cylinder that made 130 hp.

That same year, Acura introduced the Integra GS-R, a performance-oriented conduct which is powered by a brand new 1.7-liter four-cylinder engine making 160 hp.

He was also the first time Acura systems are of variable valve timing (VTEC) in a car other than the NSX. The GS-R has been set clean car driver came exclusively with a closely related five-speed manual transmission
