Acura Integra Type S gets Heritage Edition

To mark the 30th anniversary of the original Integra Type R’s arrival, Acura has introduced a limited-edition 2027 Type S Heritage Edition. This special model features a lively new paint color inspired by the classic’s signature Phoenix Yellow, now dubbed Blazing Phoenix Yellow.

Sales of the 2027 Integra Type S Heritage Edition will be capped at a specific number of units in Canada, and pricing is still forthcoming. They will come with a titanium shift knob and copper-finish alloy wheels, nods to the marque’s well-regarded DC2-era Integra Type R.

The non-Heritage Type S is also seeing tweaks for model year 2027, including gloss black mirror caps and wheels as standard, and yellow trim components and brake calipers. Inside, the new feel is more “dark grey”, which will offset the revised upholstery offerings.

The 2027 Integra Type S comes powered by a 320-horse 2.0-litre VTEC and pairs to that four-cylinder a six-speed manual with automatic rev-matching, standard. A memory driver’s seat is also now standard.

Pricing and timing details will be updated when they become available. The 2027 Integra Type S is a celebration of the iconic Integra Type R, which was the first Honda-built Type R model in Canada, sold from 1997 through 2001 with a 1.8-litre VTEC backed by a five-speed manual.
