Car Specific Details

The 2001 Acura Integra Type R is a pinnacle of Honda's engineering excellence, designed for enthusiasts seeking the perfect balance of performance and reliability. Known for its razor-sharp handling and high-revving engine, the Type R has become a legendary name in the world of front-wheel-drive performance cars. This particular example is presented in its original and iconic Phoenix Yellow color, a striking hue exclusive to the Type R that underscores its uniqueness and racing heritage. Preserved in all-original condition with no aftermarket modifications, this car is a rare find for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
 

At the heart of the 2001 Integra Type R lies the revered 1.8-liter DOHC VTEC engine, the B18C5, producing 195 horsepower. Renowned for its high-revving nature and linear power delivery, this naturally aspirated engine was a marvel of engineering in its time and remains a benchmark for lightweight performance today. Paired with a close-ratio 5-speed manual transmission, the Type R offers an engaging and rewarding driving experience that appeals to purists. Its front-wheel-drive layout, combined with a limited-slip differential, ensures superb traction and cornering precision, making it a joy to drive on both roads and tracks.
 

The Type R's chassis was meticulously tuned for handling excellence, featuring reinforced structural rigidity, reduced weight, and a double-wishbone suspension. These enhancements allow the car to respond sharply to driver inputs, delivering unmatched agility and feedback. Lightweight components, including a thinner windshield, aluminum alloy wheels, and a pared-down interior, contribute to its featherlight curb weight, maximizing performance and efficiency. This focus on weight savings and balance is a hallmark of the Type R philosophy, making it a standout in the compact sports car segment.
 

Inside, the Integra Type R boasts a driver-focused cockpit with supportive bucket seats and minimalistic design elements that emphasize function over frills. Every detail, from the aluminum shift knob to the red-stitched accents, is designed to enhance the connection between the driver and the car. Despite its performance-oriented nature, the cabin remains practical and comfortable for daily use, making the Type R a versatile choice for enthusiasts who value both performance and usability.
 

With 122,500 miles on the odometer, this 2001 Integra Type R demonstrates its durability and enduring appeal as a reliable sports car. Its almost-mint condition and unmodified state make it a rare gem, particularly in today's market where original examples are increasingly hard to find. For enthusiasts and collectors, this Phoenix Yellow Integra Type R represents not just a car but a piece of Honda's storied history, embodying the brand's dedication to creating vehicles that are as thrilling to drive as they are timeless in design.
